Cairo Hotels

See all hotels

Cairo has many nicknames. It has been called the Capital of the Arab World as well as the The City of a Thousand Minarets, and any who have ventured to Africa's largest city will know what a unique essence the city contains. It has been around since the 10th century and is the cultural, historic and financial center of Egypt. It is a city touched by various ages and cultures, and the remnants of many periods of history suffuse the local architecture and way of life. From the ancient to the modern, it is a city of many faces and you only have decide on what kind of trip you hope to have to find a hotel which will complement it.

There are many grand, all-encompassing resort style hotels which offer one-stop accommodations for those in the city for more than just a sightseeing tour. The city is built around the legendary Nile River, and many of the upscale resorts offer spectacular views of this magnificent body of water from the rooms and suites. But if you're facing in another direction or need to be located away from the Nile, you'll still have a spectacular view of Cairo itself. This is a view not to be underestimated. A sprawling metropolis of exotic elements, you can get lulled and lost while watching the sun set on the city as the stars of North Africa come out at night.

Venturing beyond the boundaries of your resort is worth considering, no matter how relaxed and pampered you may feel. The city is close to the Sphinx and the Pyramids of Giza, and is filled with exceptional heritage sites. Visit the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, and you'll be able to see the largest and finest collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts in any one place. There are over a hundred thousand objects on display and rumored to be many more hundred thousands in the storerooms.

Food is a strong part of any culture, and it's no different in Egypt. Enjoy a wonderful array of traditional dishes or sample the European and Mediterranean delights which are at offer at many of the upmarket hotels and resorts. The grander establishments tend to have quite a few restaurants, which range from fine dining to casual eateries offering a warm ambiance and menus with something for everyone one of the fussy eaters in your family. Expect to find restaurants which offer Asian delicacies, as well as those which can claim bragging rights for their award-winning chefs. If you're in the mood for a romantic dinner for two, you'll be hard-pressed to choose which view and cuisine is most likely to transport you from the mundane.
