"The motel and staff were wonderful. The surrounding area is just like you see on news. There is dead cats, dogs and a lot of trash on the sidewalks. Children and adults begging for money. Can not walk feet without someone trying to sell you something. And no doesn't mean much to them. So if you are not ready to see the real world it's not for you. For me it opened my eyes 😟. But on other note all the guided tours are awesome."

The Nile Ritz-Carlton, Cairo

The Nile Ritz-Carlton, Cairo

10/10 Excellent
"Where can I start because this hotel is outstanding. When we arrived we were welcomed with a delicious drink and then one of the front desk ladies (very kind) walked us to our room. She had a fruit and nut platter delivered to our room and it was fantastic. Let’s talk about house keeping on floor 5 (We were in room 506) House keeping is 5 star they made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable. My husband and I had a couples massage and it was one of our best spa massages. We had the pleasure of having dinner at BABEL SHARO, Lobby Lounge & Vivo and each meal was delicious and the servers were very friendly. I shopped in one of the shops inside the hotel and purchased a dress and the sales associate was very attentive and helpful (I purchased a YMZ Cairo Dress). Each day everyone in the hotel was so friendly. The bellmen were so helpful with making sure we were safe and getting in the correct cars when we left for tours in the morning. I love the Ritz Carlton Hotels, but the Nile Ritz Carlton is top tier and 5 star . I would recommend the Nile Ritz Carlton to all of my friends and family."
