Cairo boasts a plethora of accommodations, from opulent hotels on the Nile riverside, to very basic hostels. Besides 5-star options, you'll find plenty of large, business-oriented hotels scattered around town, offering modern but simple rooms and amenities. Budget-friendly lodgings can be found mostly in the downtown area, while Cairo's many suburbs offer more in terms of mid-range establishments.
