Quiet, clean beautiful. Fantastic pool and spa. Was able to walk to Tahrir Square, museum and short ride to mosques. And the views of the Nile are crazy. Get a room on a high floor. Really enjoyed my stay.

Fantastic trip to Cairo

The Sofitel Cairo was an excellent choice. The staff went out of their way for you. It was right on the Nile River and had fantastic buffets. so you could dine directly on the Nile. Rooms were clean and better than I expected. If we go back we will stay there. The shopping boutique had beautiful authentic Egyptian gifts that were often cheaper than the fake Chinese items sold outside. Travel put together an air and hotel package that could not be beat.
