Hilton Pyramids Golf Resort Cairo

6th of October City - Cairo - Egypt

Away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Cairo, the 6th of October City is a new residential area on the south-western outskirts of the capital and in close proximity to the Giza Pyramids, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. In this hassle free environment, Hilton Pyramids Golf Resort and Dreamland Golf & Sports Club offer the perfect golf retreat in the Egyptian capital, combining five star hospitality and championship golf with a view of the Pyramids.

Accommodation comprises over two hundred spacious rooms and suites with large bay windows overlooking the golf course or the landscaped pool. All rooms are fitted to the highest standards and fully air conditioned, while equipped with satellite TV and high-speed internet.

The hotel's main restaurant, The Fairway, displays a wide array of buffets with an international selection of cuisine, while The Jasmine serves à la carte European and Asian fare in a Mediterranean atmosphere overlooking the 18th green. These are complemented by two bars and the Eagle's nest all day dining terrace, with view over the golf course and the Pyramids.

Featuring its own landscaped swimming pool, Hilton Pyramids Golf Resort and Dreamland Golf & Sports Club combine to provide full recreational facilities including a complete tennis centre with academy, swimming pool, fitness centre, amusement park and golf.

The golf course at Dreamland combine year round sunshine, a spectacular view of the Pyramids and quality design for a unique golfing experience. Designed by renowned American architect Karl Liten, this world class layout's narrow serpentine fairways wind around grassy mounds and lakes, contrasting against the golden desert sand. The course is played off five sets of tees, providing an appropriate challenge for golfers of all levels. Buggies are available and there are two halfway houses to quench your thirst till reaching the 19th hole and the large clubhouse. A Golf Academy with PGA Pros and floodlit driving range complete the facilities.

An unlikely golf destination at first sight, Cairo nevertheless boasts four modern championship courses, all designed by international golf architects and part of large residential resorts. Yet a not to be missed experience is a round at Cairo's two vintages courses, built at the end of the 19th century. On an island of the Nile in downtown Cairo, Gezirah was the first 18 hole course in the country but it was brought down to 9 holes in the 1950's to make room to other facilities at Gezirah Sporting Club. The other gem is the Mena Oberoi, a green oasis literally in the shadow of the famous Pyramids of Giza !
