Lunch in the old cataract
I visited the old cataract hotel for lunch and to have a look around and the staff were more than helpful giving me tours around the entire hotel, bars, resteraunts and even rooms. Nour gave me a tour of the Winston Churchill suite which was really amazing, in the bar and resteraunt the service was top class , my server hussiasaber was very good and even gave me a tour of the hotel after my lunch, he told me how long he has worked there and had alot of knowledge about the history of the hotel, the staff made my visit an unforgettable experience and I hope to come back one day.
