New Cataract ReviewRight next to the Old Cataract, the New Cataract has none of its counterpart's faded charm but few of the glaring faults, either. It, too, will be closing in 2008 for a much-needed overhaul, but the view on the Nile side will remain great: across the swimming pool to the first cataract and over the river to the golden sand of the desert. I wouldn't expect the view from the standard rooms to improve, however -- the view across the back of Aswan is unappealing at the best of times, and particularly so at Cataract prices. Facilities: Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

| 0 stars | Frommer's Recommended | |
| 1 stars | Frommer's Highly Recommended | |
| 2 stars | Frommer's Very Highly Recommended | |
| 3 stars | Frommer's Exceptional |
Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
