The historic Cecil Hotel is one of my favorite small hotels in Alexandria. My overall recommendation is to definitely stay at this hotel while in Alexandria if your preference is a boutique historic hotel, as it’s the best option in central Alexandria for its category when weighing its pros and cons.

Egypt Hotel Reviews
The InterContinental Citystars Cairo
With Egypt being arguably the number one bucket-list tourism destination in the world, there are literally thousands of hotels in the country to choose from when booking a stay there.

The Steigenberger Hotel El Tahrir
The #2 property on the Best Hotels of Egypt for 2019 is the Steigenberger Hotel El Tahrir. This is a wonderful new hotel property that makes a very solid option for visitors looking for a very central base to explore bustling downtown Cairo but also escape into a calm upscale retreat at the end of […]
The Hilton Luxor Resort & Spa

The Sheraton Miramar in El Gouna
There aren’t many hotel options in the quaint Red Sea-side town of El Gouna, but that’s definitely a net plus for this destination. The more popular place to go around here is about 20 kilometers south to Hurghada, where the cheap holiday package tourists from Europe and elsewhere crowd into the myriad mediocre resorts there. […]
