Although accessibility has not been a priority in Egypt, there are many options for wheelchair accessible hotel rooms in Cairo. Accessible guest rooms are much more likely to be found at the global hotel brands you would recognize – Hilton, Marriott, Starwood, etc.
With no clear accessible building standards in Egypt, it is important to ask the hotels for information on access before booking a room. Ask about everything—door width, thresholds, shower/tub set-up, bed height, grab bars, shower chair—to avoid a surprise when you arrive.
I’ve taken the time to compile a list of hotels in Cairo which advertise handicap accessible rooms (some with roll-in showers). This is not a complete list of accessible hotels in the city. Hotels listed in bold are properties I have stayed at myself – click the hotel name for my detailed review (with pictures).
