Cairo: best areas to stay

Zamalek: Cairo's most desirable island neighbourhood. Quiet, leafy, excellent restaurants and art galleries.
Maadi: southern Cairo expat suburb, green and organised, great for longer stays.
New Cairo / Fifth Settlement: modern new-build apartments, good value, further from historic sites.
Downtown Cairo: closest to the Egyptian Museum, Tahrir Square and Khan el-Khalili, but noisier.
Heliopolis: near Cairo International Airport, ideal for transit stays.
