ROOMS  IN  CAIRO

"The first morning we were in Cairo we went on a walk of the markets with Mara.  She showed us where to buy bread (and what prices to pay).  Where to buy fruit and groceries.  Which sellers would give us a good price for a SIM.  Where to get some soft drinks and even which local pizza to try.   It was fantastic having someone who knows and loves Cairo so well to “show us the ropes”.   Mara also gave us detailed advice about sight seeing.   What time to get to the Pyramids?  How much to pay the driver?  What scams to avoid?  Where to go?  Mara was simply a gold mine of information.   Staying with Mara in Cairo, was like staying with family.   It was a very friendly and open environment that made order from the chaos which is Cairo.   Amazing stuff, and I would go back there tomorrow."  -  Michael (review on TripAdvisor/Flipkey)

ARRIVAL DETAILS

Mostly people who rent apts. like to be independent - however Cairo can be a difficult to city to a first-timer - even having a little arabic will not help you unless you also understand the culture.  So, I like to meet my guests myself, show you the apt, give you information notes and a local area map.  I also offer to introduce you to the local fruit/water sellers etc. (that way they charge you Egyptian price and take care of you).  For anyone staying a week or more I like to take you to the nearest supermarket where you will recognise more of your own brands of food. - believe me at the end of a week this might be something you will appreciate!  Foreign food is great but can be a bit much 3 or 4 times every day....

As we are in the centre of town all the following are very near (some even in the street itself) - cash machines, banks, markets, laundry, pharmacy, bureau de change, bakery, fruit vendors, fast-food, restaurants,  deliveries & take-aways, Egypt Air office and the metro underground train is around the corner.

Security in our building is not an issue - we have 3 doormen cum caretakers in the building & there is no shortage of policemen in the street outside as we are next to the Banque du Cairo.

The apts. are central to all locations....

  • Antiquities Museum

  • Khan El Khalili Market

  • Islamic Cairo including mosques, Gayer Anderson Museum etc

  • Art Galleries

  • Arts & Culture Centre - Al Ghouri.

  • The Citadel of Saladin.

  • Pyramids & Giza  are 30 mins by taxi.
