Creator's Key Takeaways

But let us show you why staying in downtown Cairo was a better option on the banks of the river at the Kapinsky Nile Hotel.

I personally would say not to scrimp on the upgrade cuz after all, how many times will you say that you will stay on the river Nile?

And on reflection, after a hectic day of sightseeing, we definitely made the best decision to stay in downtown Cairo.

So, make sure you check out our previous video where we show you in depth our tour of Old Cairo, including this incredible rooftop restaurant at prayer time...

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Stay in downtown Cairo near the Nile for better access to evening activities and Old Cairo
βœ“Upgrade to a Nile view room for the experience
βœ“Book a private tour with driver and Egyptologist instead of cruise ship excursion
βœ“Visit the pyramids early morning to avoid crowds

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Missing pyramid views at night β€” The evening view of lights on the Nile is equally worth it and memorable
Distance to pyramids β€” Early morning transfer is short (30 minutes) with no traffic, and you still get to explore Old Cairo at night
Quality of Giza Plateau hotels β€” Hotels there vary hugely in standard; need thorough research; Marriott Mina House is the only luxury chain option
