Cairo: best areas to stay

Zamalek — Cairo's most desirable island neighbourhood. Quiet, leafy, excellent restaurants and art galleries.
Maadi — southern Cairo expat suburb, green and organised, great for longer stays.
New Cairo / Fifth Settlement — modern new-build apartments, good value, further from historic sites.
Downtown Cairo — closest to the Egyptian Museum, Tahrir Square and Khan el-Khalili, but noisier.
Heliopolis — near Cairo International Airport, ideal for transit stays.

Cairo's unmissable sights

The Pyramids of Giza (45 min from central Cairo), the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM — one of the world's largest archaeological museums, adjacent to Giza), Islamic Cairo (Al-Azhar Mosque, Al-Muizz Street), Coptic Cairo (Hanging Church), Nile felucca cruise at sunset.
