Where Aswan, Egypt
When 1998
Photographer Richard T. Nowitz

"Oasis of Old World elegance, the Cataract Hotel sits high above Nile waters, offering views of feluccas shuttling to the sights of Aswan, just downstream from the High Dam.. . . As the ancient gateway to Nubia, source of gold for the Egyptian monarchs, Aswan held a key position in river commerce."

—Text from "Journey Up the Nile," May 1985, National Geographic magazine

(Photographed on assignment for, but not published in, "Into an Antique Land: Egypt's Greatest Hits," March 1999, National Geographic Traveler magazine)
