You can round off the day at the bar or relax in the sunny sitting areas of the garden. Free Wi-Fi, a mini-bar and a balcony are available in all air-conditioned rooms. Most of them provide you with views of the Nile River. Continental breakfast is available in the morning. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, both traditional Egyptian meals as well as European ones. At night, Winter Palace and Luxor Temple are floodlit, allowing to take scenery pictures.
