Modern luxury on the outskirts of Cairo
New Cairo is a sparkling satellite destination that was established at the start of this century. While it’s only a short drive from central Cairo, the area feels a world away from the hustle and bustle of city life – comprising large gated communities, shiny tower blocks, beautiful golf courses, and super-modern malls.
Thanks to its elevated location, New Cairo boasts sweeping views over the surrounding area and more refreshing temperatures than places like Giza and Downtown Cairo. For those seeking a blend of luxury and local flavour, Cairo Festival City Mall offers upscale shopping, pools, and gardens, while KidZania Cairo provides hours of entertainment for little ones.
Sporty travellers will find plenty on offer at the Katameya Heights Golf & Tennis Resort, while culture vultures can explore the wonderful architecture and library at the American University. If you want to experience sights and nights in central Cairo, you’re only only a 30-minute taxi ride away, while day trips to the Great Pyramid and the Great Sphinx of Giza are not to be missed.
