Breathtaking View, Comfort, and Central Location – Your Prime Accommodation in Cairo Welcome to this elegant apartment on the 9th floor, offering a stunning panoramic view of the historic Saladin Citadel and the majestic Mosque of Muhammad Ali.

My name is Ain El Hayat – “the Eye of Life” – a name I inherited from my Egyptian grandmother. I was born and raised in Berlin, Germany, and since 2018 I’ve been living between two cultures. This unique blend also shapes my personality: with an Egyptian father from Damietta (where I spent many summers) and a German mother from Berlin, I combine the warm, easygoing spirit of Egypt (el damm el khafef - the light blood) with the direct and humorous charm of Berlin (Berliner Schnauze). I love welcoming guests and creating unforgettable experiences – whether through meaningful conversations or by offering authentic insights into Egyptian culture. I’m also happy to help organize trips to the pyramids or other historical landmarks. If you’re looking for a unique and personal experience in Egypt, I’m always here to help.
Perfect Location in the Heart of Cairo The Egyptian Museum and the famous Tahrir Square are just a 10-minute walk away. The historic district of Islamic Cairo is also within easy reach—around 30 minutes on foot—along the way, you’ll encounter highlights such as the enchanting Museum of Islamic Art and the bustling Attaba Market. The Nile island of Zamalek is also quickly accessible, along with the Cairo Tower (Bourg El Qahira)—a great spot to enjoy a coffee while taking in panoramic views of the vibrant city. If traffic is light, the world-famous legendary Pyramids of Giza can be reached by taxi in about 30 minutes. Downtown Cairo is a cultural hub, offering a wide range of galleries for art lovers, including the Townhouse Gallery, Mashrabia Gallery, and Zahwa Gallery. Theater enthusiasts can enjoy performances at venues such as Rawabet Theater and the AUC Falaki Theater. The alternative cinema Zawya screens thought-provoking Arab and international films with subtitles and regularly hosts exciting short film festivals. During the summer months, the AUC Garden often offers free cultural events. Cairo also hosts numerous festivals, such as Cairo Photo Week, the D-CAF Festival, and Art d’Égypte—just to name a few cultural highlights. Fans of flea markets shouldn’t miss a stroll at the well-known Wikala Market in Bulaq Abu Aila or the charming Saturday Market near the old Windsor Hotel. Just around the corner, you’ll also find one of Cairo’s most iconic café-style bar—the legendary Hurreya Bar, where you can enjoy a cold Stella. A liquor store is also conveniently located nearby. The neighborhood has plenty to offer food lovers: whether at the cozy little “Fish & Chips” restaurant lovingly run by two remarkable women, the traditional Greek Club, the legendary Groppi, or a hidden gem inside the Bab El Louk Market—there’s something here for every taste. At each corner you will find a shop to get a fresh juice in many flavors for a small money.
