We at Holiday Inn Cairo enjoy a commanding position in the centre of this famous and ancient city

. Also known as The Conqueror, or al-Qhira, as well as being Egypts capital, Cairo is also the largest city in the MEA (Middle East and Africa). Rich in culture and history, and the gateway to ancient treasures like the Pyramids and the Sphinx, it is one of the most densely populated cities on the globe, with millions more people swelling the numbers each year. Whether theyre visiting for business, leisure or educational purposes, they find that we at Holiday Inn Cairo supply everything they need.

We at Holiday Inn Cairo are located in the City Stars complex, home to one of the largest shopping centres in the world and just 10 minutes from Cairo International Airport and the International Conference Centre. Our extensive facilities include four serviced, air-conditioned meeting rooms, a business centre, Wi-Fi, outdoor heated swimming pool and a bar. Despite being called The City of a Thousand Minarets, Cairo has a relaxed attitude towards non-Muslim visitors, and has a large number of bars, nightclubs and licensed restaurants. You will find basic baladi bars everywhere. They are well frequented by the Cairenes (Cairo people) who often refer to them as cafeterias to hide the fact they sell alcohol.

Anyone booking meeting rooms in Cairo will be spoilt for choice when it comes to sightseeing, meaning lots of opportunities for corporate hospitality. Many people staying with us at Holiday Inn Cairo will want to take a Giza excursion to see the Sphinx and Pyramids, but those unable to find the time will find a host of interesting sights on their doorstep. The city was established in the 10th century, though the site itself is far older, and unlike many Arabic cities the old has been embraced, rather than buried, by the new.

Cairos numerous ancient monuments, museums and places of interest are clearly defined by markers, usually in both Arabic and English writing. Modern Cairo, where we at Holiday Inn Cairo are situated, is located on the east bank of the Nile River and is where the bulk of the clubs, bars and shops are. Modern is a relative term; the famous Egyptian Museum of antiquities is located here, as well as a number of Victorian parks and buildings. Gezira Island, reached by a bridge, is an attractive district of gardens, museums and Victorian mansions, dominated by the stunning elongated lotus flower of the Cairo Tower. Cairo Opera House is also located here.

The oldest part of Cairo is the Coptic, or Old City. This district contains some of the oldest mosques and Christian churches in the world including the Hanging Church, so named because it is suspended over an alley of the Roman Babylon Fortress. Islamic Cairo is equally fascinating, with minarets, forts, mosques and souks up to 1500 years old.

While dress rules should be remembered in the mosques, they can be relaxed in the markets and shopping streets. Whether you stay with us for business or pleasure, we at Holiday Inn Cairo guarantee you will find it impossible to leave this dynamic and fascinating city without a few souvenirs.
