About the Resort
A Four Seasons on the banks of the Nile
Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza is the modern counterpoint to the city's pyramids palaces — a 30-storey tower on the banks of the Nile in Garden City, in the heart of downtown Cairo. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame Nile or city views, and some rooms add a terrace for watching feluccas drift by; of around 365 rooms and suites, the Pierre-Yves-Rochon-designed suites are the showpieces. The dining is a genuine draw, ten restaurants and bars in all — Chinese cooking and dim sum at 8, 24-hour Egyptian at Zitouni with Nile views, and afternoon tea under a stained-glass ceiling in the Tea Lounge — and there is an award-winning spa with a Turkish hammam, a heated indoor pool and a lobby art gallery of more than 200 works. The Pyramids of Giza, the Grand Egyptian Museum, Khan el-Khalili and the Citadel are all within reach. With Four Seasons service throughout, it is the premier modern Cairo base — for couples, families and Egypt-tour clients alike.

“We’ve stayed here three times now. The house reef has no equal. The stargazing was, genuinely, one of the most moving experiences of my adult life.”

★★★★★
“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

Egypt
Marriott Mena House, Cairo
Marriott Mena House is a historic Arabesque palace beside the Great Pyramids — origins in 1869, a royal hunting lodge turned hotel, 700 metres from the pyramids across 40 acres of gardens. The signature is the view: the Great Pyramids framed from your balcony at sunrise and sunset, and a private pyramid-site entrance with golf-buggy access that lets guests beat the queues and arrive early. Of its 331 rooms and suites, the Premium Pyramid View rooms and the pyramid-view 139 Pavilion are the draws, alongside the Saray spa, a garden pool and a guest list that includes the 1943 Cairo Conference — with the new Grand Egyptian Museum on the doorstep.
Egypt
Old Cataract Aswan
The Old Cataract is the most storied hotel in Upper Egypt — an 1899 Victorian Nile-cliff palace on a pink-granite ledge above the river at Aswan, opposite Elephantine Island. It is where Agatha Christie wrote Death on the Nile, and the terrace where she worked still serves sunset cocktails over the water, while a golden-book guest list runs from Churchill to royalty. Around 138 rooms and suites across the historic Palace and the Nile Wing carry handmade furniture and high painted ceilings, the 1902 restaurant handles French fine dining, and Aswan's ancient sites — Philae, the Unfinished Obelisk, the Nubian Museum — plus felucca sailing and Abu Simbel day-trips are all within reach.
Egypt
The Oberoi Beach Resort, Sahl Hasheesh
The Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh is the most refined of the Red Sea resorts — 102 detached all-suite villas across 48 acres of gardens, each with a high domed ceiling, a sunken marble bath overlooking a private walled garden and floor-to-ceiling Red Sea views, some with a private pool. A 43-metre pool faces the sea, the private white-sand beach fronts world-class diving and snorkelling, and domed, lantern-lit Oberoi architecture sets the tone. Three restaurants, the Oberoi Spa, yoga, cooking and pottery, stargazing and desert excursions to a Bedouin camp round out a boutique, villa-privacy take on the Red Sea — the polished finish to an Egypt tour.
