This is a seriously charming little boutique hotel, which forms the perfect escape from the capital. Within the village of Maadi, Villa Belle Époque is nestled between palms, fruit trees, and flowers. A sanctuary to call home away from the busy city life; unwind by the pool and spend the afternoon basking in the sun.

The largest Egyptian pyramid and the last remaining of the original seven world wonders, chances are you've heard about the Pyramids of Giza. And, for good reason. They are as spectacular as one could imagine. Avoid the crowds and go on a horse carriage to the rear of the pyramids for the best views!

It's elegant, and it's charming: the Marriott Mena House is decorated in a bygone era style, ever so luxurious, and almost too easy to make yourself at home in. With a view of the pyramids in the background, it doesn't get much better than this.  

Khufu’s restaurant which sits at the foot of the Pyramids is the place to go for the best views and food in Cairo. It sits right at the foot of the Pyramids; the food is exceptional and presented like a work of art. Order the beauteous Koshari salad made of lentils, tomatoes, fried onions, chickpeas and quail eggs or Middle Eastern staple Babaganoush, a dip made with eggplants and tahini, drizzled with pomegranate or chicken livers and date molasses.
