If you'd prefer to book this hotel without the included Experience Day, you'll find those packages here. Read on for what the hotel has to offer...
Enjoy peace and quiet at the Novotel 6th Of October Hotel. Located on the western outskirts of Cairo, it’s an ideal place to stay if you want to be within reach of the city’s major attractions but detached from the hustle and bustle of the centre.
It’s around a 30-40 minute taxi ride from Cairo’s historic centre and 20-25 minutes or so from the Great Pyramid of Giza – one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and an absolutely essential place to visit during your time in the Egyptian capital.
The hotel offers a fresh and plentiful buffet breakfast to set you up for the day, while later on you can enjoy an eclectic mix of French, Italian, and Lebanese cuisine at the hotel restaurant. Love to get pampered? Spoil yourself with a treatment at their luxury spa, or take a plunge in the outdoor swimming pool, surrounded by palm trees and heated during the winter months.

Experience the wonders of Egypt
No trip to Cairo is complete without ticking off its two showstoppers: the Pyramids of Giza and the brand-new Grand Egyptian Museum, and this Experience Day covers both. You'll be picked up straight from your hotel and ferried between sites – no stressing about taxis or directions.
At Giza, get ready to stand face-to-face with the last surviving wonder of the ancient world, and snap plenty of photos with the Great Sphinx watching over you. At the museum, you'll find over 100,000 artefacts spanning Egypt's ancient history, including Tutankhamun's full treasure collection. A guide will be with you throughout, bringing the history to life, and lunch at a local restaurant is included too.

If you like high-end shopping, this is the place for you. The gigantic Mall of Egypt is a shining beacon, filled with luxury retail outlets, international cuisine and a whole host of entertainment activities, including an indoor ski slope – a rare find in a desert climate.
The hotels here tend to be of the refined five-star variety, with gorgeous palm-fringed pools, exceptional restaurants and impeccable service, so you can expect to be waited on hand and foot. Many also have access to golf courses – hitting a few holes while surrounded by the sands of the Sahara is a truly unique experience!
On the edge of all this contemporary living you’ll find the iconic pyramids of the Giza Plateau, which have guarded the desert for millennia. A visit to Cairo wouldn’t be complete without standing in their shadow.
