This hotel has rooms with a Nile view,. It was amazing to look out our window and see the Nile River among lots of building and skyscrapers. Not what we expected. I always pictured the Nile as having the desert on its banks, which it does in some areas. Just never thought of it going thru the middle of a city.
The breakfast buffet rewarded us with an incredible selection of food as well as a potpourri of the world, with people from everywhere. I also found out how women with full veils had their meals outside of their homes, The veils come off.
