Rental unit in Zamalek
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 134 reviewsSpacious & luminous 2-bedroom apartment in Zamalek
This was the best place we stayed at in Cairo, located in Zamalek, which is so much better than downtown Cairo. There are plenty of amazing shops to explore and a wide variety of great restaurants nearby. The house itself has a lot of character, and our check-in with Omar was seamless. He has curated a unique collection of vintage pieces that give the space a distinctive charm. The apartment is spacious, and the amenities are all top-notch.

Condo in First 6th of October
5 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviewsAeon Luxe 2BR+Pool: Zayed Comfort
I recently stayed at this apartment near Mall of Arabia, next to Gate 22, and it was a fantastic experience. The location is incredibly convenient, just 10 minutes from Sheikh Zayed and 15 minutes from Mall of Egypt, making it perfect for shopping and dining. The apartment itself was spotless and featured new furniture, which added to the overall comfort. I felt very secure during my stay, thanks to the high security measures in place. Check-in was easy and quick, which I really appreciated. The host was always quick to reply to my questions, usually within minutes. I highly recommend this apartment for anyone looking for a clean and comfy place near to mall of Arabia.
Rental unit in Nazlet El-Semman
4.83 out of 5 average rating, 86 reviewsGiza Oasis Studio3 with Jacuzzi
We enjoyed our stay. The hot tub was great and the view is amazing! The tour guide that our host provided was amazing and very reasonably priced. We enjoyed both tour days we had with them. Everyone was so helpful with food choices, massage places, etc. I would definitely recommend staying there. Check out the rooftop!

Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Tiny home in El cairo
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 46 reviewsBoutique cozy studio in Heliopolis
Rahim's place was perfect! If you like to get out and walk there are tons of shops and restaurants near by you can easily get around too. The house itself was very nice and clean. Do keep in mind you are next door to a all girls school, so they can be loud around 730am-8am but aside from that I have no issues! I will certainly book again!
Rental unit in Zamalek
5 out of 5 average rating, 24 reviewsPecan Apt - Heart of Zamalek, Cairo - 3 Bdr
Very, very beautiful apartment, exactly the same pictures. Very excellent. Brother Omar was very cooperative. Thank you for your interest and hospitality.
Rental unit in El Haram
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 34 reviewsLegacy of Egypt- 2 BR Rooftop w. private jacuzzi
This apartment has one of the best views of the Pyramids. While there are plenty of hotels offering a pyramid view (usually from the front), this one gives a unique back view. The place was clean with all basic amenities. The entry to the building along with our first ride in the lift was a little underwhelming as it didn’t look well maintained. However, once you open the door to the terrace on the 6th floor, the property will take you into a different world. We liked the fact that it was quite secure as you could only open the main door to the building and operate the lift using a key fob. While you might hear the vehicles moving on the highway when you sit on the terrace, it’s peaceful inside. There was some road work going on around the place too and the peak hours can get busy, but supermarkets and shops are at a walkable distance. I’d recommend this place to anyone who wishes for a lovely view of the pyramids and a cosy stay.
