Our Family Experience at Fairmont Towers Cairo

Our first ever experience staying at Fairmont Towers Hotel, Cairo. I have heard about this hotel a year ago, but due to its location, which is relatively far from our office at Maadi, I was quite hesitating staying here. However, during this 5 days Eidul Adha holiday, we decided to stay a night to experience the contemporary luxury features and all it has to offer.

After our Eid Adha Open-house visiting, we went directly to this hotel, which is located after the exclusive Roxy district, Cairo about 2 kilometers before the Cairo International airport. Almost every 5 – 10 minutes, one could see and hear the roaring sound of jet engines from the airplanes flying low and slow over the area, completing its landing process. Sometimes it is very annoying! Well, this is a fact of life you cannot grab and have everything in yourself, even if you are a multi billionaire.

We arrived at the hotel reception, around 16:15 hours. It was an awesome first impression. The friendly concierge and Security personnel greeted us with their warmth welcome and gleefully ushered us to the hotels’ splendid lobby and unique reception. I must say, this is the first hotel in Egypt that I have been and seen designed and fitted with a very modern cotemporary look. It took me merely 7 minutes registering my two double-rooms booking at the island-type reception counter….relatively amazing. The half-board two double rooms’ package is a prize that I received from my company for winning first prize during our first photography competition 2009 recently. Two out of my 14 photos that I have submitted had impressed panel of six judges. Honestly, there is nothing to be proud of though, but infinite thanks and praise be only for the almighty Allah swt. Alhamdullillah. The prize is for my kids and charming beloved wife – Nana.
