About Renting a Car at Cairo Sheraton
Cairo's Sheraton area is located in the Dokki district near the western bank of the Nile, approximately 18 km west of Cairo International Airport. Three rental companies operate here, near the well-known Sheraton Cairo Hotel. The location is strategically positioned to easily reach both central Cairo and the western suburbs.
The area is close to Gezira Island and about 5 km from Tahrir Square via the Nile bridges. The Giza Pyramids are approximately 18 km to the south, roughly a 30-minute drive without traffic. Giza Zoo and Orman Botanical Garden are within 3 km, and the 26th July Corridor provides quick access to 6th October City about 30 km to the west.
The Sheraton area is a good starting point for driving toward Saqqara and Memphis – take the route south along Pyramids Road for a historic route. Book a car with automatic transmission if you're unfamiliar with heavy city traffic. Check whether the rental company offers delivery to the hotel reception.
