Luxury On the Nile

Following in the footsteps of Poirot and Christie

Over a century since it first cruised the glittering waters of the Nile, the steam ship "Sudan" draws tourists who are keen to follow the trail of legendary crime novelist Agatha Christie. Tourists like to start their journey at the Old Cataract Hotel, ideally in the suite where Dame Agatha is believed to have stayed while writing her 1937 novel "Death on the Nile", in Egypt's southern city of Aswan, some 920 kilometres south of the capital.

Ahead of sir Kenneth Branagh’s new version of ‘Death on The Nile’, Egypt is keen to encourage tourists to return.
