If you can't (or don't want to) afford to stay at the magnificent Old Cataract Hotel in Aswan but still want to enjoy a slice of its grand splendour, reserve the afternoon and come for high tea instead. It's served on their famous veranda overlooking the Nile so you get to enjoy one of the highlights of this very special place at a fraction of the cost of what you would have to fork out for a room. Plus, there's delicious tea and tasty treats galore to go with the view. Watch the feluccas sail by before a backdrop of glistening water, lush greenery and the desert in the not-too-far distance while you munch on cucumber sandwiches and scones with clotted cream. And when the evening arrives with a fresh breeze that mingles with the clinking of fine china and silver cutlery and the background music, you might as well stay for a couple of drinks or even dinner before you head down to your modest abode in one of the less ritzy establishments in town. Sweet dreams.
