Where to stay in New Cairo: a guide for families and business travellers
New Cairo — the Fifth Settlement and Katameya — is where many families and business travellers now choose to stay in Cairo: quieter, greener residential streets, compounds with gardens and pools, the American University in Cairo, and malls such as Point 90 and Downtown Katameya close by. This guide explains the areas and how to choose where to stay.
The areas, briefly
Most visitors stay in one of three parts of New Cairo. Each suits a different kind of trip.
- The Fifth Settlement: residential streets close to cafés, restaurants and shopping — the most convenient base for most trips.
- Katameya and One Kattameya: compound living with landscaped gardens, pools and a gym — the choice for families who want resort-style space.
- Around the American University in Cairo: quiet, leafy residential pockets suited to students, faculty and families visiting campus.
A hotel or a serviced apartment?
For one night on your own, a hotel room is simple. For a family, or for a stay of several nights or more, a serviced apartment usually fits better: separate bedrooms, a living room to spend time together, and a full kitchen, with hotel-style housekeeping and support still there.
Serviced apartments also suit business stays: a quiet place to work, fast Wi-Fi, and the option of weekly or monthly stays.
