Towards the east, the hotel has a row of 6 chalets that were built but not yet completed. Their roofline is level with the pool terrace so they will not obscure the morning sun which is needed to warm the water. To the left of these chalets is a 5-storey block built by the hotel's owners but yet to be completed. Otherwise there is open ground for about 50 metres towards the Nile.
To the west is the terrace of el Nakhil hotel, which is curtained off. To the north-west is Fayrouz hotel.
None of the surrounding buildings overlooks the pool significantly. The area is secure, safe and discrete.
