The Nile Ritz-Carlton, Cairo

$$$ · UpscaleLeashed only

A landmark five-star hotel on the Nile corner beside Tahrir Square, with a casino, spa, outdoor pool and restaurants including the alfresco Bab El-Sharq.

Why it made the list

It is one of very few Cairo properties that says yes to dogs in writing, in a location you can actually walk from.

Good to know before you go

The hotel's own page says pets are welcome for a USD 150 fee per stay, one pet per room, maximum 18 kg, with service animals exempt. Dogs must be leashed in public areas and kept out of restaurants and the pool deck; confirm the room allocation when booking. Source: ritzcarlton.com Cairo property page, checked October 2026.

Practical notes

  • Request a low floor for fast loo breaks
  • The Corniche outside is too traffic-heavy for off-leash

What is available on site

  • Dogs indoors
  • Overnight stays
  • Step-free access
