Aqmar Hotel Nasr City

Why stay here

• Close to the airportThe hotel is in Nasr City, about 8 km from Cairo International Airport according to the listing. That is roughly half the distance from the airport to Downtown, and usually a much shorter ride, which matters after a night flight or before a dawn departure.
• High scores across the boardIt has 9.4 on Booking.com from 210 reviews (checked 12 Oct 2026). No sub-score is below 9.0: cleanliness is 9.5, staff 9.6, comfort 9.4 and value for money 9.3. Booking.com describes it as a 2-star hotel.
• A fair price for the scoresWhen we checked it was around €45 a night for two in mid-January 2027 (price tier 1 of 4), with free cancellation but without breakfast. Prices change, so check your own dates.
• Quiet, with practical extrasThe hotel lists soundproof rooms, balconies, a garden, free parking and accessible facilities, and some rooms come with a kitchenette. Free parking is useful if you are picking up or returning a hire car at the airport.

Good to know before you book

• Far from the sightsDowntown and the Egyptian Museum are about 14 to 15 km away, and the pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum are on the far side of Cairo, usually well over an hour by road. Spending a whole trip here means a long drive every day; see where to stay in Cairo for central and Giza bases.
• Breakfast not includedThe rate we checked did not include breakfast. Ask at the desk what is available, or plan to buy something nearby; Nasr City is a busy residential and commercial district with shops and cafés.
• No cots or extra bedsChildren of all ages are welcome, but there are no cots or extra beds. The deluxe double is sold for two adults and one child, and the quadruple for four, so choose the room by the number of people.
• Check the times for early flightsCheck-in starts at 14:30 and check-out is by 11:00. If you arrive in the morning or leave in the middle of the night, tell the hotel in advance; the front desk is open 24 hours.

Rooms

The cheapest option is the economy twin with balcony, with two single beds, which is all most travellers need for one night near the airport. Couples who prefer a double bed can book the deluxe double, which the hotel sells for two adults plus one child.

For families or groups of four there is a quadruple. Since there are no cots or extra beds, a family of three with a small child fits the deluxe double, and a family of four needs the quadruple. The hotel lists soundproof rooms, and some have a kitchenette, which helps since breakfast was not in the rate we checked.

Getting there and around

From Cairo International Airport

The airport is about 8 km away, according to the listing. A taxi or ride-hailing car usually takes roughly 20 to 30 minutes, longer at rush hour. Our guide to Cairo airport to your hotel explains the terminals, the visa and the safest ways to get a ride.

From Downtown and Ramses station

Downtown is about 14 to 15 km away, and Ramses railway station is in the same direction. Allow roughly 40 minutes to an hour by taxi or app, more in heavy traffic. Metro Line 3 serves the area around Heliopolis, but a car is simpler with luggage.

To the sights

For the Egyptian Museum and Islamic Cairo, plan on a taxi ride of around an hour each way in normal traffic. The pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum are on the western edge of the city and need most of a morning in transit there and back; a tour with a driver is the easiest way to do them from here.

How it compares

Aqmar against three budget options at a similar price, two in Downtown and one near the pyramids, to show what you trade for being near the airport. Weigh the location column above everything else.
