• Taste a malt whisky or dry martini, a favorite of Sir Winston Churchill, at The Bar, Churchill’s favorite bar east of London, which is located inside this historic hotel. This British-style piano bar pays homage to the history of the Old Cataract and its most famous guests, and is accented with brass lantern chandeliers, rich mahogany, crushed velvet, and red leather.

• Enjoy refined French cuisine in an iconic setting at 1902, the signature restaurant of this historic hotel, and dine beneath the grand Arabian dome by a Qualaun crypt.

• Sample all that Aswan’s hottest table has to offer at The Terrace, a legendary venue where Dame Agatha Christie once sat for hours intently penning chapters of her celebrated novel Death on the Nile. Relax in a wicker chair under a canvas awning and take in the spectacular sunset over the Nile that this historic hotel affords.
