"The view of the Nile is amazing and having it just by the side of the pool is also a nice touch. In the evening there is a nice ambiance with little tables and carpets scattered near the river. The breakfast wasn't exceptional but it wasn't disastrous either. The staff went out of their way to give my partner and I a room with a single queen bed instead of our booked double single bed bedroom and also pitched in a free breakfast. Overall, our best stay in Egypt after visiting 3 different locations."
