Four Seasons Cairo at Nile Plaza
Fit for a pharaoh, the Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza is on the one hand richly steeped in ancient Egyptian culture, while on the other hand it offers all of the modern amenities and is situated at the center of Cairo's cosmopolitan urban center.
In a city where the magnificent past often exists just around the corner from the bustling present-day experience, you can enjoy a wide variety of attractions. The most famous attraction would have to be the great Sphinx, which has captured the imaginations of visitors for centuries. Similarly, the Pyramids of Giza, including the world-renowned Great Pyramid, are mysterious architectural masterpieces that loom on the not-so-distant horizon.
Just a few minutes away from the Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza is the Egyptian Museum which is widely, considered one of the most prominent museums in the world. It boasts 107 halls divided into seven sections, each devoted to a different period of Egypt's fascinating history. The most significant of the artifacts here is the famous Tutankhamun Collection featuring the belongings and tomb of King Tut. Then there's the Pharaonic Village, perhaps the most precise living recreation of the ancient past. Here, hundreds of actors and actresses mill about in the painstakingly restored village to reenact daily life in the time of the pharaohs. If you still hungry for more history, explore the myriad of mosques that Cairo has to offer, like the Aqsunqur Mosque, built in 1347 and lavishly decorated with blue and turquoise mosaic, or Ibn Tulun, which was built in 876 and is thus the oldest mosque in all of Cairo.
Those looking for some more present-day excitement won't be disappointed either. There's the 590 foot tall Cairo Tower, which features a rotating restaurant at the top as well as breathtaking views of the whole city and the surrounding pyramids. There are also numerous cruises that you can take down the Nile River, The Dreamland Golf and Tennis Resort, which features a night-lit turf driving range with six target greens and three practice greens along with eight night-lit tennis courts and a beautiful swimming pool. Also of note for golf and tennis enthusiasts are the Katameya Heights Golf and Tennis Resort, and the courts and courses at the Gezira Sporting Clubs. Additionally, you can hone your horseback riding skills at the Gezira Sporting Clubs, and subsequently rent a horse from one of the stables near the pyramids so that you can go for an unforgettable horseback ride amidst the iconic Giza Pyramids. And of course, Cairo features upscale shopping, dining, theatres, and art galleries.
Reflecting the vibrancy of modern Cairo, the airy rooms feature natural wood finishes, stylishly comfortable furnishings, triple-glazed windows to ensure rooms remain cool and quiet, and even private outdoor terraces. Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza also contains the largest spa in Cairo, which has 15 treatment rooms including a couple's treatment room, sauna, steam room, whirl pool, and cold plunge. Furthermore, guests enjoy access to a serene indoor swimming pool.
