The location of this hotel is perfect, right on the Nile. The balcony view is spectacular. Unlike other high-end hotels in Cairo, this one lacks the feeling of being in a "secure compound", while still being extremely secure. Perhaps because it is surrounded by Embassies, it feel as secure or more secure than the "fenced" hotels. Security even kept track of every Uber or other vehicle we left or arrived in. Fascinating neighborhood, if a bit isolated. Only a 15 minute walk to Tahrir Square

The food here is amazing! Do. Not. Miss. Great vibes too, everything is outside and every single person we met was super friendly. We came with a food tour, but could have totally gotten by just with English without a problem. Hawawshi was delicious, we had both the mincemeat and the sausage. The grape leaves were wonderful, even to my sister who tries them everywhere she goes. I know it's not the star of the meal, but they have darn good tahini! Best drink is the lemon mint juice. 10/10!

We had late breakfast at Luuma. We had a table next to the Nile. What a great ambiance and friendly staff. We had Luuma’s Benedict - It was excellent. Mohammed and his manager served us well. We had a side dish of falafel. They were well made too. We had fresh strawberry juice, tea, coffee, tiramisu (enjoying the great atmosphere). We stayed over two hours and ordered more tea and coffee. Highly recommended.

First night in Cairo and we are here for authentic local food. Ordered the pigeon (grit was super delicious and moist), kotfa and lamb shank - portion are huge and meat cooked beautifully.

A nice experience from the restaurant itself to the excellent service and somewhat the food. Everything was great and food was good. I felt there is more pasta that lentils therefore if you like lentils dont shy off asking for more. Highly recommend local restaurant

The service here is amazing! The staff is so nice and the food comes out very quick although it was a very busy time. Mohamed Wael was amazing he is so nice and friendly. We came on a Friday and it did take a bit to get seated but that is expected for a weekend. I would recommend calling in for a reservations on the weekend. The atmosphere and the decor is amazing. We got the truffle pasta 1000/10 it was sooooooo yummy my favorite thing here. Definetly can’t wait to come back!

✅Amazingly tasty food they make! 💯 We ate beef shawarma/doner they were famous for and hawawshi, and they were very very good, the best ones we ate in Cairo till now. The worker/chef/boss was very kind and speaks English well. ✅👍

My stay at the hotel was truly exceptional, and what impressed me the most was the outstanding level of service. The staff were extremely polite and professional, always smiling and eager to fulfill any request promptly and warmly. From the moment I arrived until the day I left, I felt genuine care for the comfort of the guests. This experience made me feel at home, and I look forward to coming back soon.

Another Wonderful Stay at the InterContinental Cairo Semiramis From the moment I arrived, my stay at the InterContinental Semiramis Cairo was exceptional as always. Through my brother Richie, who has been a loyal guest of the hotel since 2023, I first discovered this property, and it continues to impress me every visit. I’ve now had the pleasure of returning on my own, and each time, the team makes me feel right at home. The staff truly make the Semiramis special. Their professionalism, warmth

A unique experience to live, and better just sit at the tables in the streets to live the moment. The food is kind of traditional and tasty, I recommend you to test it.

We had a great stay at the Fairmont. Good location with a great view of the Nile. Staff were very friendly, professional and provided great service. Food options were great and there was a large choice of restaurants in house with opening hours well beyond midnight. The Gold lounge was very discrete with great service. Special shout out to our house keeping staff who were extremely great in their up keep of the room. Water and other snacks and drinks were complimentary. Our suite was gorgeous an

Straightforward eatery providing Egyptian & western dishes in an unpretentious setting.

📍 Karam El Sham – Cairo 🇪🇬🍽️ 🔥 Awesome place for authentic local food at affordable prices — a true eat like a local experience 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♀️. The place was packed with people, which to me is always a sign of a local favorite and a must-visit ✅. 🥙 Tried the chicken shawarma and crispy chicken meal — both were delicious and came in huge portions, easily enough for 3-4 people 👌🍗. 🧾 The service was excellent — they provided an English menu, patiently explained the ordering process, and guided us thr

Absolutely one of the best restaurant experiences I have had! Welcomed and greeted, escorted to a table. Employees are dressed in suits and uniforms, with pleasant and cordial attitudes. The food was delicious! We couldn't stop eating, even though we were full. The akawi tajin (ox tail), mixed grill, molokheyya, and mixed stuffed leaves and vegetables (mahshy) were all superb. The molokheyya was unbelievable! Hands down the best I have ever had. The place is very clean and organized, with no wai

Very nice experience with very delicious Egyptian food and wonderful view beside the nile
