Aswan is where Egypt starts to feel Nubian, the river slowing and spreading around the granite islands of the First Cataract. One of them belongs entirely to this resort. Isis Island is twenty-eight acres of gardens and palm walks with water on every side, the Aga Khan's mausoleum on the hill opposite and the Old Cataract Hotel glowing across the channel. The only way on or off is the hotel's own boat, ten minutes each way, running around the clock. The building opened in 1992 and shows it in places. The island doesn't, and that turns out to matter rather a lot.
