Hotels in Egypt vary from 5 star to 1 star. The international standard of rating hotels can be open for interpretation in Egypt. What you may perceive as a 4 star hotel, could be in reality, a 3 star hotel.
However, Egypt does have some of the most luxurious 5 star accommodation in the world. In the last few years there has been an explosion in the hotel building in Cairo. In every major town you will find a variety of hotels. The main hotels are usually fully booked and reservations must be made well in advance.
This is especially true in the summer time, when most of the Arab tourists visit the country. If you are here in summer and it is peace and quite you are seeking, then the larger hotels of Cairo, filled with holiday makers are best avoided.

Listed below is a small selection of hotels ranging from 5 to 3 stars. The ratings are based on previous travelers feedback. If you have any questions about any hotel that we have not mentioned here, please feel free to ask us for our opinion If you require more information about any hotel on list below, drop me an email, and I will provide you with all the necessary information.
