Hostel Details

63% Customer Rating
The hostel is well situated on the banks of the River Nile in central Cairo. There are different room types and sizes available. All prices include breakfast. Lunch and dinner are also available.
 
Cairo is the capital of Egypt and the largest city in Africa. It city accommodates 26% of the Egyptian population. A cosmopolitan city that blends charm of the East with a Mediterranean flavor. It is a melting pot where landmarks and antiquities of Pharaonic dynasties exist beside those of Greco-Roman, Christian and Islamic influences. Cairo is a dynamic city, proud of its warm and friendly people who are well known for their traditional hospitality. On the western Bank of the Nile and on top of the Giza plateau rise the colossal Pyramids and the mysterious Sphinx - two of the most glorious contributions of Pharaonic heritage. In the heart of Cairo, the eternal River Nile flows gently from south to north. A Cairo visitor cannot miss sailing in a Nile felucca at sunset.
