Le Méridien Cairo Airport

Le Méridien Cairo Airport

10/10 Excellent
"The fact that Le Meridien exists right down a corridor from the Cairo Airport is a blessing and a relief for those with a plane to catch tomorrow. The fact that it's clean, modern, efficient, and has several good on site restaurants made it the perfect spot for my wife and I to check in, work out, eat a nice meal, and sleep a few hours before catching our crazy-early morning flight outta town."
