Fodor's Expert Review El Gezira Garden Hotel

Relaxed and welcoming, Gezira Garden Hotel is a little oasis on the West Bank, and all rooms come with balconies to soak up the flower-filled, tree-shaded scene. The two-bedroom apartments with full kitchens are popular with families, and the property has three restaurants, including a spot for Thai and a rooftop Egyptian restaurant. Yoga, dance, and painting classes take place here, and the pool is heated for a post-temple swim.
