Back at the hotel you’ll find the action revolves around the main outdoor pool, which is ringed with plenty of sun loungers for days spent kicking back and relaxing. For little ones there’s a separate pool just for them, as well as a couple of water slides to help them make a splash. On top of that there’s a kids’ club and a daily and nightly programme of entertainment that the whole family can enjoy. Inside you’ll find a well-equipped gym, and a spa with a Turkish Hammam and sauna, so get ready to relax.
If you’re the sporty type, you’ll do well here. As the name would suggest, this place is packed out with more sports than you can shake a stick at. Tennis and badminton are on the agenda, along with plenty of others, so you definitely won’t be short on activities during your stay.
Dine at the on-site buffet restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and you can expect a plentiful array of international and local delicacies. The poolside snack bar will tide you over between meals with its selection of light bites and refreshing drinks, while the main bar is on hand come evening for a nightcap

Unlike the ancient pyramids and bustling medieval markets that define much of Cairo, Heliopolis is a unique blend of early 20th-century elegance and modern urban living. Founded in 1905 by the Belgian entrepreneur Baron Empain, the district has a distinct architectural style that merges European Art Nouveau with traditional Arabic details. Here, you’ll find lush green avenues lined with grand villas and some of Cairo’s most exclusive five-star hotels.
The district is known for its upscale shopping areas, diverse culinary scene, and lively cafes, offering a more relaxed and refined atmosphere compared to the hustle and bustle of downtown Cairo. Notable landmarks include the quirky Baron Empain Palace – a mansion with architecture inspired by Hindu temples – and the Basilique Church, a striking Roman Catholic church inspired by Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia.
Heliopolis was the first district to host Cairo Design Week so, if art is your thing, you’ll love the neighbourhood’s galleries and cultural centres, where Egypt’s contemporary artists come to display their work.
