The North Egypt / Cairo / Cairo region

Cairo and Egypt are renowned for their rich history particularly the Pyramids. Cairo has been central to Egypt's history for over 5,000 years.

Cairo is one of the world's largest urban areas and offers many sites to see. It is the administrative capital of Egypt and renowned for its Pyramids of Giza. however there are also many more pyramids near to the City as well as ancient temples, tombs, Christian churches, magnificent Muslim monuments, and of course, the Egyptian Antiquities Museum housing the world famous treasures of Tutankhamen.

Cairo is an amazing city full of life and movement, and it is that way almost 24 hours every day, with the noisy honking of car horns, children playing in the streets and merchants selling their wares and services. The City provides great culture, including art galleries and music halls, such as the Cairo Opera House. Cairo also offers an incredible selection of shopping, leisure and nightlife activities. Shopping ranges from the famous Khan el-Khalili souk, largely unchanged since the 14th century, to modern air-conditioned shopping centres.

Particularly good buys are spices, perfumes, gold, silver, carpets, brass and copperware, leatherwork, glass, ceramics and mashrabiya. Try some of the famous street markets, like Wekala al-Balaq, for fabrics, including Egyptian cotton, the Tentmakers Bazaar for appliqué-work, Mohammed Ali Street for musical instruments and, although you probably won't want to buy, the Camel Market makes a fascinating trip.

The Cairo City / Heliopolis area

The Ministry area is part of the larger area of Sheraton Heliopolis and is a quiet upmarket residential area. Close to the Fairmont Towers Hotel and conference centre and local shops and amenities.

There is both a Mosque and Church in the area. The hugely popular City Stars shopping centre is around 10 minutes away and contains a Hotel and Cinema complex, restaurants as well as 100's of shops both Western (eg Virgin, Timberland etc) and Egyptian plus a large hyper market and newly arrived M & S! A new shopping complex hasalso recently opened locally containing a Carrefour.

Downtown (for Museums, Khan el Khaliki etc) is easily accessible as are the Pyramids, the Nile and the Egyptian Museum.

The area is an ideal base for visits to Cairo - far enough away from the noise and dust of downtown Cairo but close enough to enable easy access.

“A lovely flat in a good Cairo neighbourhood” We stayed here (5 of us) for one week just before Christmas, and despite some initial misgivings of staying in private accommodation, we very much enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend. It is... more

Guestbook for Sheraton

Absolutely fantastic - excellent value for such a luxury flat. Will definitely use again, as soon as we can.' Khalid & Family (Egypt/Saudi Arabia)

A stunning place to stay - like a five star hotel!! Excellent service from Hatem who was on hand to help throughout. Thank you. Mrs & Mrs Pickering - UK

Beautiful, comfortable, quiet - loved it. (Anon - September 08)

This is simply THE BEST PLACE to stay in Cairo. I have stayed in this apartment twice now, and both times I have been more than impressed with the quality, value and convenince it offers. The photos of this apartment do not do it justice, and the luxury is honestly comparible to many 5* hotels I have stayed in in downtoiwn Cairo.

I would not stay anywhere else! Clean, comfortable and charming!
Thankyou Jackie and Walid, we will defintely be back!
Mr and Mrs A.R, London, Jan 2009

As a veteran of apartment rentals (Not a hotel fan) I was cynical that this was the usual overstated ‘5 star Egypt standard’ barely matching up to European 3 star. What a pleasant surprise to find the apartment measured up all round to 5 star European expectations. From a fully and professionally equipped kitchen, excellent storage in bedrooms, with comfortable full size beds and excellent soft furnishings throughout. Bathrooms so inviting you could wallow for hours (The wet room’s fabulous) A lounge and dining area to chill out in or entertain, all glassware, crockery and cutlery available, even nice touches like candle holders (candles too) and napkins. This backed up by multi level lighting for mood and ambience. I wish I had known enough people to throw a dinner party. Big bonus for us was the negative ion filter air conditioning, not mentioned in the profile but keeps the chest clear after those dusty days in Cairo traffic. No the pictures do not do it justice, but just book and enjoy the pleasant surprise that there are no surprises. Not just another rental, it’s a beautiful welcoming home from home. Truly an oasis in the madness that is Cairo, and if you need that madness it’s a short taxi ride away. Highly recommended, I know I will stay no where else in Cairo and be happy to arrange my plans around its availability.

Mark, Olena and Raphael too.

WOW!! Thius place is something else! Absolutely stunning. Can't wait to return.
Frank & Doreen

It was a wonderful time and the apartment was 5 stars with every single thing we need. I definitely will recommend it to my friends. Mr. Yaser was a very polite and helpful person.
Ibrahim & Family


I spent 7 days at the Sheraton Apartment the week I got married in Cairo (June 2009). One of the best parts of the trip was the apartment. Jackie was absolutely wonderful during the entire process. Not only was she helpful with our accommodations in Cairo, but he was very helpful with lodging suggestions for our honeymoon in Alexandria. The apartment itself is so charming and well appointed that there were a couple of days where we just stayed there playing cards, listening to music and watching movies all day. I think one of my favourite touches is the window boxes off the master bedroom and the dining room. The master has mint growing there and the dining room has jasmine growing so when you open the windows the breeze is scented...that was wonderful. We fully intend to call upon Jackie for the apartment whenever we return to Cairo to visit my husband's family as it is our new home away from home.

Thanks, Renita G.

I had a wonderful time. We went somewhere everyday and I met a lot of wonderful people. I absolutely love it there. I will be going back I think around March so I hopefully will stay with you again. The apartment was so wonderful and I felt so safe and was completely at home there.
Kim. September 2009


I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for the lovely flowers on arrival at the apartment. The apartment was fantastic.....mum and dad loved it too. Khalid and driver were great on the trip we took to the pyramids......very informative. Walid was great at keeping in touch with any questions we had.
Once again Jackie thanks a million for enabeling us to have a wonderful holiday. I would reccommend your flat to anyone if visiting Cairo.
Lorna & Family - November 2009

Thank you. We have had an amazing time in Cairo and hope to return someday soon. The flat was wonderful and the tours were great - your advice was top notch. Thanks for making our trip unforgettable. Andrea, Amy, Alison, Bonnie. March 2010

We had a lovely time in Cairo and enjoyed the space and comfort provided by your flat. Walid was extremely helpful and accommodated the ever changing wishes of our rather large party.
The wedding was wonderful and everyone had a fabulous time.
Truly memorable.
Helen and Ian

My home in Cairo! Like visiting a luxurious old friend.

Gets better with every visit - nice to see the recent upgrades adding a little bit extra!

A small drop of calm in a sea of Cairo madness. This is the ideal spot to retreat to after a mad day out in the City. Ideal to experience Cairo residents in their natural habitat and to mix with the friendly locals. Fabulous coffee shop nearby and the Fairmont is great for a drink (albeit a bit pricey but the atmosphere is super).

Recommended by a previous vsitor we were happy to find this lovely flat in a quiet and safe area of Cairo. Beautifully finished and spotlessly clean, nothing was too much trouble for Walid. Fantastic tours organised for us and we were looked after throughout by our knowledgeable tour guide and our driver. Can't rate this place enough.
