Our Inspector's Highlights

Ancient Egyptian history buffs will love browsing the mesmerizing pharaonic tablets embedded in The Nile Ritz-Carlton, Cairo’s design. Look for examples built into in the lobby’s floor, near the elevators and an authentic Karnak temple artifact next to reception depicting the festival of the king.
The luxury hotel houses the largest swimming pool in downtown Cairo. Cool off after a day in the desert sun with a swim or quick bites and frozen cocktails at adjacent Aqua restaurant.
Channel your inner Cleopatra with a visit to The Nile Ritz-Carlton Spa, where treatments like a soothing milk foot bath, sea salt exfoliation and a mineral-rich mud cocoon will leave you looking like royalty.
Whether you’re craving a Cuban cigar, Middle Eastern mezze or rustic Italian cuisine, you can sate your hunger at the Cairo hotel’s nine dining venues. Highlights include Friday brunch at all-day dining room Culina, evening entertainment and shisha at rooftop Bar El-Sharq and Sunday afternoon tea in Lobby Lounge.
The Nile Ritz-Carlton, Cairo makes the most of its location along the ancient waterway. Be sure to book a river-facing room for the best views, but you can also soak up gorgeous vistas from the rooftop Bar El-Sharq lounge, the pool or with a stroll among the property’s verdant gardens.

Things to Know

For a unique souvenir, get your hands on the signature scent of The Nile Ritz-Carlton, Cairo at the spa boutique. The candle is a sensual fusion of fresh orchids and natural jojoba oil, adding a pleasant floral aroma to your home.
While river-facing vistas are the most coveted, those who prefer a quieter stay away from the hustle and bustle of the Cairene Corniche will find city-view accommodations more to their liking.
If you need to exchange money, the downtown Cairo hotel has a branch of Egyptian bank Banque Misr onsite, facilitating transactions 22 hours a day.

The Rooms

To wake up to a breathtaking river vista, request a stay in a Deluxe Nile View Room or Executive Suite. You can’t go wrong with a city-view room, either — Cairo’s elite Zamalek neighborhood sits on the opposite bank, where you can easily see iconic Cairo Tower.
Deluxe City and Museum View Rooms and Junior Suites both overlook the city center, affording vistas of the Egyptian Museum, Tahrir Square and Saladin Citadel (from higher floors).
For the best of both worlds, choose to stay in The Ritz-Carlton Suite. The special upgrade offers you an aerial perspective of both the Nile and the city, thanks to its L-shaped balcony and corner location.
