Nile Hilton

Visiting Africa and Europe.

... Edfu for overnight stop. Last night on the boat then into Cairo. Understand there is to be a demonstration near our hotel -Ramses Hilton - expecting 1m people on Friday so we are staying cool. Have another 4 nights in Cairo before we head to Malaysia and ...

... realize we are just a few blocks away from the Pyramids. More traffic on the way back to the city. Finally we made it to the Nile Hilton were we get a chance to use the washrooms, rest up and get some food for the train ride. We can see KFC, Arby's on ...

... the Egyptian Museum.  It wasn't on our itinerary, and we'd gone the day before, so we left the group and headed for the Nile Hilton. There we found post cards, some small guidebooks for the rest of the trip, a decaf latte, and  a comfortable air ...

We left Giza and went into the centre of Cairo for our stay at the Nile Hilton. We would be there for 3 nights. Again, the taxi was checked for bombs and again we had to walk through a security screen entering the hotel. The hotel was situated on ...

... our way, of course.   A couple of temples later we check into the hotel.  Gotta say that I will miss my Hilton points and status.  We were offered free everything, upgraded everything, and free dessert (notice the two s's).  We have a ...

We did a Nile Cruise first.  I'll not tell you the name of the boat because I don't want to be derogatory - but oh! Luxor - oh! Aswan - I love you!  Our tour guide Mahmood, was super.  We had to do all of the Luxor sights (sites) in one day ...

... Pub place. So we get a cab to the Hilton where this pub place is by. Instead of going to the pub first we figure, hey, the Hilton is top of the line, they have to have a sweet bar. Nope, no bar, but business must be back cause the door guards wanted ...

... for a 1 hour flight back to Aswan and the another flight onto Cairo and a check-in for our final night at the Ramses II Hilton.  During our flight, I got a pretty good view of Lake Nasser and reminded myself that even though it was huge, what I saw ...

... Sharm El Sheikh was a tourist trap of a resort at the tip of Sinai.  Although the beach was unbelievable (I lounged at the Hilton beach until they kicked me out), the town is full on resort style.  In this case, full of wealthy Russians.  ...

... km le long du Nil), notre nuit en train fut sans histoire malgré des couchettes un peu moins confortable que les lits du Hilton. Il faut souligner que la bouteille de vin qui a accompagné notre souper dans le train (D'ailleurs, il fallait tenir notre ...

... her eyes) is an awesome way to begin a room transaction.  Feels less like a sale, and more like being welcomed.   Hilton, Marriot and Novotel could learn a few things.  Yes they serve, but do they participate?  Happyland Hotel is in ...

... found in his tomb. He wasn't even that great in the whole scheme of things - just a spoilt little rich kid. The Paris Hilton of Ancient Egypt. A typical woman, Caroline also made a detour to Cairo's famous Khan el-Khalili markets and sipped mint tea at ...

... my parents on a cruise liner, during the school summer holidays.  My Father arranged for us to visit the Pyramids and the Nile Hilton as we had two days docked in Alexandria.  I remember how hot is was on the coach.  We would not have ...

... you make metal plates?" "It's Cairo." He shrugs. I even missed my fuul and bread, and the awful-tasting kasha breakfast. The Nile Hilton receptionist looked at me. "Hello. How can I help you?" Perfect English, no accent. I said, "I'm sorry. I'm ...

... knowledgeable and fun. OK-no more plugs.    After the cruise, we spent a few days in Cairo. We stayed at the Nile Hilton, the first US hotel in Cairo where many foreign leaders once stayed. It is obvious why they do not stay there nowadays. ...

... for a change. Met up with the Insight rep at the lobby after we checked out. A mini van took us to the Nile Hilton. The rep actually took us into the hotel and took our passports to reception . The room was not ready so we left our ...

... and took a short flight to Cairo. We cabbed to several hotels and decided they were pretty gross looking, so we settled on the Nile Hilton Hotel which is a little older, but still elegant. We didn't get here till about midnight and we are quite tired, ...

... It was overwhelming. I found it strangely exciting and stimulating. To cap off the day, we made a quick stop at our hotel, the Nile Hilton (great location) for a shower then snagged a cab to go to see Ezz and Lila. They are friends of a good friend ...
