Where to sleep in Cairo — the neighborhoods and the picks, siesta side to fiesta side.
Giza plateau edge — pyramid-view rooms
Sunrise over the last Wonder from your balcony — worth one splurge night.
Downtown & Tahrir — the belle-époque grid
Faded grandeur, the old museum and koshary counters.
Zamalek — the island calm
Nile-ringed embassy district with galleries and Deck bars.
Islamic Cairo edge — minaret country
Near Khan el-Khalili and the Muizz street museum-mile.
