I have recently 'digitised' a 1956 7-minute cine8 film of the trip which my father took. I was interested that someone knew the name, and had a photo of, the overnight hotel in Wadi Halfa and would appreciate if that could be re-posted as I would love to see where I spent my first night outside of my birth country, Kenya.
Once I have finished adding some text to give context to it, I will post the video on YouTube and leave a link here.
Hotel could have been
Wadi Halfa Possibly The Nile Hotel, formerly The RR (Rail Road) Hotel: Here is a shot taken in 1936 - on the Nile
Title: Sudan. Wadi Halfa. Air view. The. R.R. [i.e., railroad] hotel and Nile beyond 1936 taken on a flight with Imperial Airways on a World Trunk route following the Nile from the Delta to the Victoria Nile and the Victoria Nile and the Victoria Lake.
