Cairo is one of the most populated cities on earth, but no one will have booked a Cairo serviced apartment to have a quiet holiday! There is so much to see in the city that any visitor has no choice but to dive into the mass of people hurrying through the streets, to make sure that there is enough time to at least skim the surface of this amazing place whilst enjoying a Cairo holiday let.

Like so many modern cities built alongside the old, Cairo’s high rise buildings, mostly along the waterfront of the Nile, only tell part of the story. One of the many memories brought back by tourists who have stayed in a Cairo city centre (center) apartment is that the pyramids are so close to the town. The Old Kingdom of the Pharaohs is never very far away wherever you go in the city and while you are renting a Cairo holiday apartment you really must put aside some time to visit the Egyptian Museum which, despite recent looting, has an amazing collection from the whole of the history of the country which is not matched anywhere else in the world.

For those who enjoy the juxtaposition of different cultures, a trip to Old Cairo is a must. Your stay in a Cairo aparthotel would not be complete without a visit here, where you can see Coptic churches, mosques and synagogues rubbing shoulders, most of them built on the ruins and foundations of Roman and pre-Roman buildings. The bones of the city show here and if you time your trip here from your Cairo serviced flat to occur after your visit to the museum, you will be able to put your new knowledge to use on every corner.

One thing to remember when staying in your Cairo short stay apartment is that although this is a bustling international city with nearly seven million inhabitants, it is the capital of the Arab world and when visiting the various mosques and places of worship, you will be expected to dress and behave in a respectful manner. When packing for your holiday in a Cairo apartment rental, make sure that you include clothes which will cover arms and legs, whilst bearing in mind that summer temperatures can reach the mid-nineties Fahrenheit as an average, with occasional peaks of more. Refreshing cups of thick, sweet coffee and bites of delicious pastries will keep you going, but keeping cool is the trick to enjoying Cairo.

Serviced and self-catered apartments, flats, aparthotels and holiday lets can be up to 30% cheaper than most equivalent hotel rooms and are becoming increasingly popular due to the freedom they offer. Whether it’s a short stay apartment you are looking for or a long term apartment, our holiday apartments combine all the amenities and comforts of home.  With plenty of room why stay in a cramped hotel room when you can stay in spacious surroundings in and around Cairo city center.
