“This property strikes a balance between French elegance and Egyptian tradition, with modern design that complements its Nile River setting. I found the floating deck-turned-bar to be a particularly unique amenity. The combination of unique riverside experiences, distinctive dining, and comprehensive wellness facilities are all impressive.”
