Our hotel had a mini kitchen, which was great - we were able to eat most of our meals in -- much cheaper!

In the West Park is the Temple of Debod -- an Egyptian Temple from Aswan, Egypt that was given to Spain in 1968 in exchange of Spain's assistance in moving larger monuments (Abu Simbel) that needed to be moved when the Nile Dam was built. Egypt had a cash shortage, but not a monument shortage :)
