What lingers

• 01Bed & Breakfast rate includes daily buffet breakfast at the hotel restaurant; some rooms have Pyramid views.
• 02Located in Giza; unlike central Cairo hotels, we arrange private transfers to Giza Plateau (10–15 minute drive).
• 03Rooftop terrace and restaurant provide direct Pyramid sightlines ideal for early-morning photography before crowds arrive.
• 04Outdoor pool and shaded garden offer midday respite after visiting Khufu and Khafre on the Giza Plateau.
• 05Common choice for overnight before or after Nile cruises; we recommend early check-out for morning departures.
• 06We don't bundle Khufu Pyramid interior tickets; we arrange them separately so your timing avoids peak queues.

Worth knowing

How this compares

Many Giza-area stays are described by their proximity to the pyramid plateau; this hotel is approximately 4.3 km away on Alexandria Road. Unlike a stay on the plateau, it places guests on a main road corridor, where traffic can affect journeys to central Cairo.

The fine print

What's included – and what isn't

1. 01

   Allow extra time for journeys to central Cairo, as traffic on the road corridor can change travel times.

2. 02

   Request a garden-view or pool-view balcony when booking if that outlook matters to you.

3. 03

   Confirm any city or tourism tax at booking, as local authorities may levy additional charges.

4. 04

   Ask the hotel to confirm halal or kosher dining arrangements for your dates before arrival.

Plan around price

All requests handled by your dedicated specialist before booking.

Accessibility

Who can join this

The hotel has level public areas in the lobby and restaurant, and lifts serve the upper floors. Some ground-floor rooms have short ramp access to the garden and pool, while some balcony rooms may require using a flight of stairs. Garden paths have uneven paving, and there are steps at some pool edges and standard-height kerbs in the parking area. These features may make independent movement difficult for guests using a wheelchair or mobility aid. The hotel does not provide specialist wheelchairs or mobility scooters. Tell us about access needs before booking so we can request a suitable room, although step-free access cannot be guaranteed without confirmation from the hotel.

– Responsible travel

How we travel here

The hotel has a linen and towel reuse programme and encourages guests to refill bottles at filtered-water stations to reduce single-use plastic. It uses municipal water supplied in Cairo, so this is treated urban water rather than a locally sourced supply. The hotel kitchen employs local chefs and obtains produce through Cairo wholesalers; we cannot verify the proportion of ingredients sourced locally. If you ask us to arrange a transfer, it is usually by air-conditioned sedan or minivan. Vehicle availability and fuel type vary, and we cannot promise a lower-emission option for every journey. Local craft purchases or community visits can be discussed with our Cairo team, but are not included in a room booking.

·In summary

Asked & answered

Frequent questions

1. 01Is breakfast included at Steigenberger Cairo Pyramids Hotel (Bed & Breakfast)?

   Yes – the bed and breakfast rate includes the hotel's morning breakfast. The exact breakfast format (buffet or plated) is set by the hotel and can vary seasonally. Please tell us about dietary requirements at booking so we can inform the hotel. Unless your confirmation states otherwise, breakfast is included in the room rate.
2. 02How close is Steigenberger Cairo Pyramids Hotel to the Giza Pyramids?

   The hotel is located near the Giza Pyramids; expect a short drive to the Giza Plateau. Cairo traffic can lengthen the journey, especially during peak hours. We recommend morning visits to avoid heat and traffic, and we can schedule pickups to match your pyramid entry time.
3. 03Do rooms at the hotel have views of the Pyramids?

   Some rooms at the hotel offer views of the Giza Pyramids; availability depends on category and orientation. Pyramid-view rooms are limited and are frequently allocated to higher categories or suites. Request a view when you book and we will confirm whether a supplement or room upgrade is required.
4. 04Can you arrange airport transfer from Cairo International Airport?

   Yes – we can arrange private transfers between Cairo International Airport and the hotel. We monitor flight times for delays and provide meet-and-greet and luggage assistance on request. We typically organise private cars rather than shared shuttles to ensure punctuality and door-to-door service.
5. 05Can Discovery Tours Egypt book this hotel for me?

   Yes – we can reserve the Steigenberger Cairo Pyramids Hotel on your behalf. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and confirm rooms directly with the hotel. Unlike many online aggregators, we check room view allocation, can add private transfers, and handle timed pyramid-entry tickets before you travel.
6. 06Are family rooms or connecting rooms available at Steigenberger Cairo Pyramids Hotel?

   The hotel offers family and connecting rooms, subject to availability and the room category. We can request specific bedding, extra cots or interconnecting rooms and will advise on capacity limits and any supplement. For school holidays and busy periods, book early so we can secure your preferred configuration.
