Arabian Nights Hotel

Arabian Nights Hotel is a simple budget hotel in the heart of Islamic Cairo, a few minutes’ walk from the El Hussein district and Al-Azhar Mosque. It suits travellers on a limited budget who want to stay amid the historic atmosphere and old markets rather than in the modern districts.

Who it suits

The hotel is rated one star and its services are basic. Its real advantage is the location: from the door you can walk to Khan El Khalili, Al-Azhar Mosque and Al-Muizz Street. It is not for those looking for full hotel services or complete quiet.

Before you book

• The area is crowded and noisy until late, especially during Ramadan and festive seasons.
• Some of the surrounding streets are narrow and hard to reach by car, so agree a nearby drop-off point with your driver.
• Check the latest guest reviews on cleanliness and rooms on booking platforms before confirming.

• View location on Google Maps
