Riverside bliss near the sights

Welcome to five-star bliss by the Nile. The world’s longest river gently flows past the Ramses Hilton, providing spectacular views from many of the hotel’s rooms and restaurants. Occupying a striking high-rise tower on the Nile’s east bank, the hotel is close to many of Cairo’s top sights – only a 10-minute walk from the Egyptian Museum and a 15-minute walk from Tahrir Square.

After a day of sightseeing, the hotel’s rooms provide a cosy and welcoming nest. They’re all air-conditioned and feature a flat-screen TV, sofa, chairs, and minibar. But if you're happy to find your fun without straying off-site, there's plenty here to keep you occupied. That includes an outdoor pool with views of the Nile, a fitness centre and a hotel casino, while evenings come alive with live music.

    Find out more about Downtown Cairo

    Compared with the ancient pyramids and monuments of nearby Giza, Downtown Cairo feels positively modern, however it’s still overflowing with Old World charm. Dating back to the 1860s, the architecture in this part of the city was inspired by the decadent Belle Epoque movement in France, with the hope that Cairo would soon become the ‘Paris of the East’.    

    Today the beautiful European architecture endures, as does a vibrant cultural scene and lots of lively nightlife. By day, you can explore a host of attractions including ancient artefacts at the Egyptian Museum and the Museum of Islamic Art, as well as modern installations and interactive art at the Townhouse Gallery.

    Nearby Tahrir Square has long been a place of protest, such as in 2011 when it was the epicentre of the Egyptian Revolution. In the surrounding streets and across Downtown Cairo, bars and restaurants spring to life through the night, serving everything from tea and shisha to local beers and koshary – a spicy concoction of pasta, rice, tomatoes and more.
