Gjennomgått av @the.island.traveler: My family and I stayed in this gorgeous suite at The Nile Ritz-Carlton and it blew us away. Waking up to panoramic views of the Nile River was surreal. The pool was so relaxing, and the breakfast buffet had something for everyone. I can't recommend this place enough!
