Egypt | Death on the Nile Inspiration
π In the southern Egyptian city of Aswan stands a historic hotel that has hosted numerous celebrities including Winston Churchill and Princess Diana β the Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan. π¨β¨ πΊ If you only want to visit the hotel, you need to purchase an entrance ticket. However, if you book afternoon tea, no separate ticket is needed β you can enter directly. π Remember to make a reservation in advance through your guide, the official website, or by phone! πΊ Honestly, the afternoon tea itself is quite average β nothing special to eat, mostly just good for photos πΈ. Itβs best to arrive around 5:30 PM and stay until sunset π . We arrived at 4:30 PM β too early and too hot outside βοΈ, so we had to wait almost an hour in the lobby! πΊ A quick check shows off-season room rates are around 3,000 RMB per night. Afternoon tea costs $40 or 1,900 EGP per person. Besides tea, you can also dine at their sunset-facing restaurant π. Restrooms are available for guest use. To visit the room where Agatha Christie wrote Death on the Nile, make sure to book in advance! πποΈ π Address: Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan #EgyptTravel #Aswan #OldCataractHotel #AswanDayTrip #DeathOnTheNile #LuxuryTravel #NileRiver #TravelGram πβοΈ
