The Old Cataract Hotel, Aswan
The 1902
The 1902 (and indeed, the entire Old Cataract Hotel & grounds) evokes images of old-time elegance. It was hard to escape the fact that Howard Carter himself enjoyed the luxuries of this facility.
This concept of Howard Carter-ness led to countless numbers of quips, similar to the following:
“To think that Howard Carter himself also once sat in this very chair!”
“To think that Howard Carter himself also once roamed these very hallways!”
“To think that Howard Carter himself also once used this very vending machine!”
Well, you get the idea.
And the food? Let’s just say we set the high bar for dining here, right at the beginning of the trip.
