Luxurious Amenities at Cairo’s Hotels

About this tour

If you’re short on time or have already explored other parts of Egypt, our short Cairo city break tour is perfect for giving you a taste of the bustling capital city, home to iconic landmarks like the Pyramids, Sphinx, and Egyptian Museum. Throughout your stay, you’ll be accommodated at the award-winning Le Riad Hotel de Charme, a luxurious boutique hotel located in the heart of Old Cairo, facing the famous Beit el Sehemy with its exceptional old Ottoman houses. The hotel’s design celebrates and reflects Old Cairo’s style and history, with each of the 17 suites individually furnished with warm colors, Fatimid fabrics, antique wooden furniture, and paintings from local artists. The suites are spacious and comfortable, featuring large marble bathrooms, separate lounge and study areas, and a variety of different arts and crafts on display. The tour begins with a guided sightseeing tour of Egypt’s most well-known landmark, the Great Pyramids of Giza and the enigmatic Sphinx, where your Egyptologist guide will explain the history and evolution of pyramid building. The rest of your time in Cairo is free for you to explore independently, relax in your hotel, or take an additional tour. Options include a city tour of the Citadel, Coptic Cairo, and the Egyptian Museum; a walking tour through the old streets around the hotel and the Khan-el-Khalili bazaar; a day trip to the colonial Mediterranean city of Alexandria; or a tour to see more pyramids at Dashour, Saqqara, and Memphis. Additionally, dinner cruises and felucca trips on the Nile are available. For those seeking to see more of Egypt, an overnight trip to the ancient Egyptian sites on both banks of the River Nile at Luxor is also available. If you wish to extend your stay in Cairo, extra nights can be added to your tour.
