Reasons To
Visit Egypt

  • Ancient Civilisations

    The Ancient Egyptians have attracted more interest and attention than almost any other ancient civilisation. Their feats of engineering, and the details of their lives we can glean from tomb and temple walls make them seem very alive; similarly their obsession with death also fascinates us.

    Ancient Civilisations

  • Ancient Ruins

    From the temples of Upper Egypt, to the numerous fantastic pyramids near Cairo, Egypt is probably best known for its ancient ruins. Even once away from the ever-popular Nile Valley, there are oasis tombs, and remnants of Roman Alexandria to uncover.

  • Beaches

    The shores of the Red Sea are rightly famous the world over. The water is a stunning clear blue and the coral reefs are simply amazing. Year-round, the sun shines, and there are excursions into the mountainous interior to tempt you away from the sand and lapping waves.

  • Cruises

    Gliding serenely past lush green fields, farmed by ox-drawn ploughshares, admiring the sleek form of a egret is one of the great pleasures of a visit to Egypt. The fact that this glimpse of unchanged rural life also links together some of the greatest historical monuments in Egypt makes a Nile cruise a must!

  • Museums

    The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities is one of the world's great treasure troves, crammed with artefacts from the country's illustrious past. Other, much smaller museums are more than worthy of your time: Luxor museum is especially noteworthy.

  • Souqs & Shopping

    As you twist and turn deeper into the Khan El Khalili, passing under Mamluke arches and admiring Ottoman 'mashrabiya' window screens, you're drawn into a traditional world where charismatic vendors try to persuade you to purchase handicrafts and goods manufactured in a tiny workshop behind the shop front.

Sofitel Gezirah

Cairo

The Sofitel is located on the southern tip of Gezirah Island, between the Downtown and Giza areas of Cairo, in a secluded and relatively quiet spot.

Rooms have a subtle décor and smart, compact bathrooms.

The hotel boasts fantastic views over the Nile and the Muqattam Hills and the Pyramids are visible on clear days. Inside, the range of facilities is impressive, with a Middle Eastern restaurant (El-Kebabgy) and, as one would expect from the Sofitel chain, a French restaurant (Vendome), amongst other dining options.

There is a branch of the Buddha Bar within the hotel, or drinks can be taken on the floating Le Deck bar.
