Away from any touristy or commercialised resort, this outstanding and luxurious hotel stands is so elegant, offering terrific service and superb panoramic views of the Red Sea.

Go at Christmas and you will experience a special one with an Egyptian Santa stocking for every guest! Have a romantic honeymoon in one of its luxurious suites and if you are world travellers, you will know that this hotel is one of world’s leading hotels.

The hotel location guarantees a peaceful holiday and only two hours drive will take you to visit Luxor with its famous pharaonic temples and tombs.

Luxury, comfort, peace, unspoilt = La Residence des Cascades resort.

I would recommend this hotel to singles seeking a peaceful holiday, couples wishing to have a romantic time or families with babies, small or grown-up children.

Our Expert

Having been born in Egypt, grown up there and worked in tourism as a tour leader for individuals and groups at one of the top ten Egyptian travel agencies, exclusively for 9 years for the British customers in my lovely country, I really feel I can call myself an expert! I moved to the UK and Miles Morgan Travel some 2 years ago.

ahmed.jpgI can really help you make the most of any trip you are planning to Egypt – from a diving and relaxing at the Red Sea to desert safaris or Pharaonic and historical holidays down the Nile River to The Mediterranean elegance and World War II sites. I have probably been there and have first hand knowledge. Combine this with my contacts over there and that means you will get the very best price - I am the one stop shop for anything Egyptian.

Our holidays, hotels and Nile cruises are luxurious and offering outstanding customer service, this means ultimate satisfaction and unforgettable experience.
