The highest restaurant in the Middle East... and it revolves!

The Grand Hyatt Cairo is a luxury landmark hotel situated on Roda Island; a peaceful haven with all of its stunning rooms overlooking the River Nile. The hotel enjoys a perfect location in the centre of the business and commercial district of the city, and yet it is also very close to Cairo’s many cultural and tourist attractions, including the Pyramids of Giza, Cairo Tower and the Cairo Museum. Of its nine top-class restaurants, the magnificent Revolving Restaurant is the highest restaurant in the Middle East. It has unprecedented views of Cairo and is 30 metres in diameter whilst rotating 360 degrees in 75 minutes, bringing the Pyramids, the River Nile and the entire city of Cairo all into view.
How absolutely gorgeous! If I’d have known about the traffic noise in Midan Talaat I’d definitely have opted for the Hyatt on Roda Island instead.
It’s so difficult to get a good nights sleep anywhere in the centre of Cairo, even with double-glazed windows, because the traffic and horn-beeping just doesn’t stop.
Will make a mental note for next time I’m there!
