Sheraton Cairo Hotel & Casino

10/10 Excellent

"Staying at the Sheraton Cairo Hotel & Casino was the highlight of my Cairo trip. Excellent and accommodating check-in, exceptionally clean room, great views of the Nile River, and hospitable staff. Ismail (desk manager) and Ramy (receptionist) provided 5-Star service, ensuring I had an easy and seamless stay. I felt very safe as this hotel provided 24/7 high-end security, and I also enjoyed breakfast and quick in-room dining. I will absolutely stay at the Sheraton Cairo Hotel & Casino again, and cannot thank Ismail, Ramy, and staff enough for ensuring I had an amazing first stay in Cairo."

The Palace Pyramids inn

10/10 Excellent

"Our experience at this hotel has been truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived in Egypt, we felt welcomed, cared for, and at home. Traveling to a new country can sometimes feel overwhelming, but this experience made everything so much more special and comfortable for us. I especially want to give Ahmed the recognition he deserves, because he played such a big part in making our stay memorable. His kindness, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality went above and beyond our expectations. He made sure we were comfortable, helped everything run smoothly, and made us feel like more than just guests. It is rare to meet someone who puts so much heart into what they do, and Ahmed truly made a difference in our experience. Thank you to the entire team, and especially to Ahmed, for making our time here feel so special. People like him are what make a place unforgettable. We came as guests, but we are leaving with grateful hearts and wonderful memories."

"The was very clean and looked beautiful. Everything in the bathroom worked fine and looked well maintained/renovated. The woodworking throughout the corridors was visibility old and in need for attention though. My experience at Afandina restaurant was great! Chef Mohammed provided excellent service, so personal, so kind, stylish; it was excellent in all ways."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Al-Waili?

The best time to visit Al-Waili and Cairo is during the cooler months, generally from October to April, when the weather is most pleasant for exploring.

During this period, daily temperatures are typically mild, ranging from around 20-25°C, making it ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities without the intense heat of summer. You'll find it comfortable to visit historical sites like the Citadel of Salah al-Din and the Egyptian Museum, both of which are easily accessible from Al-Waili.

For travellers who prefer to avoid larger crowds and potentially find better value on flights and accommodation, the shoulder months of October, November, March, and April are particularly good. The weather is still excellent, but it's often a bit less busy than the peak winter months of December and January.

Conversely, it's best to avoid visiting between May and September.
