Snapshot
02Overview
On the Corniche El Nil, the river runs just beyond the traffic, and boats drift past the windows of the Nile Ritz-Carlton Cairo. Step into the lobby and the day's rush in central Cairo seems to slow. The setting by the water gives a stay here a real sense of place, whether you are winding down after meetings or resting between outings.
We book the room at 1113 Corniche El Nil and can organise the practicalities around it. The hotel has far more on site than a small city guesthouse, and our team can tie your reservation in with the rest of your Cairo plans.
Background
The Nile Ritz-Carlton Cairo is a five-star hotel at 1113 Corniche El Nil in the middle of Cairo. It sits on the river's east bank, close to Tahrir Square and the Egyptian Museum.
The address puts the hotel on Cairo's central riverfront. Tahrir Square and the Egyptian Museum are nearby, and the river separates the centre from districts such as Gezira and Zamalek. Check journey times to the places you want to see, as traffic affects road trips.
Cairo became the Fatimid capital in 969 CE. Historic Cairo, a separate old quarter, joined the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979; that listing does not cover the hotel. The Nile has shaped settlement and transport here for thousands of years.
The hotel is described as full-service, with meeting facilities. Room layouts depend on availability at booking. Confirm check-in and check-out times, breakfast arrangements and access to individual facilities with the hotel for your chosen rate.

Highlights
Things to Consider
Worth knowing
Many smaller boutique hotels offer a narrower range of guest facilities. The Nile Ritz-Carlton Cairo is described as a five-star, full-service property with bigger guest facilities and meeting space.
Choose your room
One extra-large double bed, for up to three guests. The outlook takes in the Egyptian Museum and the city centre. You get a work desk, a 47-inch flat-screen television with cable and HD channels, and a DVD player. Expect a city outlook, not a Nile view.
Dining
The amenities list a restaurant, a bar and room service. Ask us to confirm the venue names, locations, opening times and the meal basis available for your dates. Club Lounge access comes with certain room types, and the room descriptions mention food and drink through the day. That applies to the lounge only and does not mean meals come with every rate. Confirm breakfast, other meals and any charges when you book.

Field notes
Find out if breakfast is part of your rate before you compare room costs.
Ask for confirmation of a Nile-facing room, because a river address does not guarantee a river view.
Get check-in and check-out times confirmed for your booking, especially if you are fitting around an airport transfer.
Say which room layouts suit your party before you finalise the reservation.

Tailor it
We can add transfers, a private Egyptologist and sightseeing to a stay here. Ask us about room options and pairing your stay with named Cairo sights; specific room layouts depend on availability.
Your own specialist deals with each request before you book.
Where it fits
Make it a central Cairo stop before or after a Nile cruise, with Tahrir Square and the Egyptian Museum close by. We can arrange a private Egyptologist and sightseeing around your stay.
Accessibility
The Nile Ritz-Carlton is a large hotel in the middle of Cairo, but access can differ by entrance, room position and the facilities you want to use. Pavements and crossings along the Corniche El Nil can be uneven or crowded, so outings nearby may need help or a vehicle. Ask the hotel to confirm step-free access, accessible rooms, bathroom layout, lifts and the routes to the restaurants, pool and spa before you book. If you use a wheelchair or have limited mobility, check these details directly with the hotel and tell us about any specific needs.
Before you go
Ask us to confirm the minimum age, child rates and any age-based rules for dining or facilities on your dates. Child rates and room occupancy depend on the room type, the number of guests and the rate booked. A pushchair may be useful inside the hotel, but crowded, uneven Cairo pavements can make it hard to use outdoors. Contact the hotel before arrival to check for cots, high chairs and suitable room arrangements.
These fares are a guide, as prices and rooms move through the year. Do ask us and we will confirm the fare for the days you have in mind.
Location
The hotel stands at 1113 Corniche El Nil, on the Nile in the centre of Cairo. Some rooms look towards the Egyptian Museum and the middle of the city, which gives you a sense of how central it is. The Corniche is a river road, and the busy streets of the city start close by. Taxis and other local transport can be arranged, and the concierge can advise on current options and journey times. The address is a clear starting point for exploring central Cairo.

Jewel Plaza is a Cairo hotel we book for short overnight stays and transit nights. We use it when clients require a straightforward, practical room for an arrival, departure or a single-night layover. We favour short-stay hotels such as Jewel Plaza for overnight layovers instead of placing clients in larger Cairo hotels for just one night. Unlike larger full-service hotels, Jewel Plaza is chosen for practicality rather than extensive leisure facilities. As a licensed Egyptian tour operator, we arrange reservations, meet-and-greet transfers and early check-in requests where available. Not recommended for stays longer than two or three nights; guests seeking extensive on-site facilities should consider other neighbourhood hotels.
From £48
CairoBoudle Grand Pyramids Hotel is a Giza hotel we book for guests visiting the Giza Plateau. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator. We do not place clients on coach-group itineraries; instead we arrange private transfers and time visits with our Egyptologists to avoid peak crowds. Some rooms have direct views of the Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure pyramids; others face the street, so request a pyramid-view room at booking. The hotel is convenient for short stays beside the plateau, but allow extra time for central Cairo sites because of local traffic.
From £34
CairoA five-star hotel on the Corniche El Nil in Downtown Cairo, looking over the river. Egypt Discovery books your room on request, including a single night if that is all you need, and sends written confirmation. Rooms look out over either the Nile or the city, and the business and cultural districts of the centre are close by. You are dealing with a licensed Egyptian tour operator throughout. Next to older hotels in the centre, this is a riverside address suited to short stays and working trips.
