The Sofitel Cairo Nile El Gezirah is a 27-floor, 5-star hotel on the southern tip of Zamalek island, wrapped in parkland with sweeping views over the Nile. Opened in 1984, it remains one of Cairo’s landmark riverside hotels, a short walk from the Opera Metro Station and about 20 minutes from the Giza Pyramids.
Guests have access to an infinity pool, a full-service spa, and seven restaurants and bars spanning Egyptian, Moroccan, and international menus, several with private Nile-view terraces. The hotel also hosts events and meetings across seven function rooms.
Its Zamalek location puts the Cairo Tower, El Sawy Culturewheel, and Cairo Opera House within easy walking or short driving distance, making it a convenient base for exploring central Cairo.
