Cairo (Egypt) accommodation
When visiting Cairo, we recommend staying at the Semiramis InterContinental. Situated in the heart of the city (facing the River Nile); the hotel is close to the Egyptian Museum, the Cairo Opera House and the Cairo Tower. The Pyramids of Giza and the International Airport are located around 25 km away and can be easily reached with a tour group or taxi. Book a room with a view of the Nile.
