Hotels in Zamalek, Cairo

Zamalek is Cairo's island neighbourhood on the northern end of Gezira Island in the Nile — a European-planned district of tree-lined avenues, art galleries, the Cairo Opera House complex and the best independent bookshop and café culture in the city. Quiet by Egyptian capital standards, it is where diplomats and the intellectual class live. The 27 July Bridge connects to the Corniche and downtown; the Cairo Tower (free on clear days: the Nile panorama is extraordinary) rises from the island. For a Cairo base with walking-scale safety, green space and good eating without the overwhelming density of the city centre, Zamalek is the obvious answer.
