The staff is friendly and eager to please, ensuring a pleasant and personalized experience.

    The Location: Being situated on a private island in the middle of the River Nile was truly unique and breathtaking.

    The Cleanliness: Unfortunately, the hotel was not properly maintained, and we found the swimming pool to be dirty and unusable. Additionally, there were scattered chairs and tables around in a messy manner.

    Spectacular views of the Nile, personalized and attentive service, peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The private balconies with baths add to the luxurious experience. The lodge offers a variety of activities such as rafting and fishing.

    Although there were a few drawbacks mentioned in the reviews, such as the broken bathtub tap and some worn-out bed nets, these did not significantly detract from our overall enjoyment of the lodge.

    The location of the hotel was absolutely stunning, offering unparalleled views of the raging rapids of the Nile River. Being situated on a private island in the middle of the river was a truly unique experience. Additionally, the staff at the hotel were very friendly and ensured that we felt safe and comfortable throughout our stay.

    It to find that the rooms did not have air conditioning and only had fans upon request. Considering the high price of the hotel, it would have been expected to have built-in ceiling fans or air conditioning.
