"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."
