                <description><![CDATA[I was in Cairo for a couple of weeks earlier this year. I stayed in the Hilton WTC (World Trade Centre) Residence, which is like a serviced apartment on the Nile. My children, aged 14, 10 and 3, all loved it. They liked the chaos of jumping into cabs and negotiating the fare, almost all of the food and we all liked Khan el-Khalili market. My older kids enjoyed the spectacle of me haggling for stuff and pointing out how badly I was doing. There are a surprising amount of fast food places if you need them and you can get the supermarkets to deliver food and booze to you for a nominal charge. We also had a great time going to the historical sites.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Situated in a boring and slightly scruffy building, this place is a real find. The three-star Longchamps Hotel is on one of the upper floors and, with two large terraces, is one of the most relaxing places in Cairo. Its decor could be described as a mix of elegant, Bohemian and ethnic. But what most people find surprising is the food. Menus are simple but dishes are invariably delicious to the point of being memorable. If you are looking for somewhere inexpensive, quiet, clean and pleasant to stay in Cairo, this is it.]]></description>

The atmosphere is brilliant, the international dishes are all cooked perfectly and the decor just finishes the experience off. It is a bit difficult to find but don't give up - it is well worth it.]]></description>
