THE HOTEL
Elevated above the hustle and bustle of Cairo, the Semiramis InterContinental offers stunning views across the city and beyond.  Centrally located on the banks of the Nile, this hotel represents the ideal base from which to explore the historic city, as well as the great pyramids - and is a stylish oasis of cool and calm after a day of exploration.

The Semiramis is a modern hotel incorporating subtle touches of local décor and offering an abundance of facilities.  We particularly like the cool fusion of the Rithmo bar with its plush armchairs, low sofas scattered with Bedouin print cushions and specially-commissioned Bahgory originals.

We recommendThe Presidential suite is the outstanding accommodation at the Semiramis.  It's ideal if you're looking for space and style, whilst the view from this suite is simply stunning.
