  • This hotel (built at the turn of the century) was long used as a British Colonial Officers Club and has preserved much of the atmosphere. The rooms are OK, the staff is very friendly and the breakfast (tea and toast) is exactly that little what you can eat after the unavoidable digestion upsets have hit you.

    Unique Qualities: The remarkable charactereistics of this place are its very central location (one Metro stop away from the Railway station and two Metro stops from the Egyptian Museum.

    A hidden gem is the very stylish bar, one of the rather rare opportunities to have a beer in Cairo..

     Evocative pics. Would have liked a little more detail on the museum exhibits and Sakkara. So tantalizing.
