Overflowing with history, Al-Azhar University has long been an institute for groundbreaking research and great ideas. See if you can tour the campus and talk to some of the staff and students about their studies.

Many travelers to Islamic Cairo have this historic university on their agenda. But Al-Azhar University is just one of many spots worth a visit in the area. If you've got time for more, Egyptian Museum will keep you busy.

8.4/10 Very Good! (124 reviews)

The location was everything in this hotel with amazing views (depending on room you select).The room was a bit dated with window not closing completely causing the air conditioning not to really cool the room,but all in all i was very satisfied with my stay.The staff was very attentive and welcoming and willing to help with any questions or tours if you havent made plans.Sidenote you are right in front of the Giza entrance so you will be swamped with vendors once you step out of lobby but that is everywhere in Egypt.I Definitely recommend this hotel if your in cairo for Giza,waking up to the pyramids is in front of your room is beyond words

The pyramids view is what got us here and it did not disappoint. The shower was almost unusable due to the fact that the sewage doesn't work properly. Staff is good and food is clean.
