A privileged location with an incomparable view

Strategically positioned just 500 metres from the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), Sofitel Legend Pyramids Giza will offer easy access to one of the world’s most anticipated cultural attractions. Just completed, GEM will house the world’s largest collection of Egyptian antiquities, including the complete collection of treasures from Tutankhamun’s tomb. GEM will not only highlight the richness of Egyptian history, but will also enhance the region’s tourist appeal, making Sofitel Legend Pyramids Giza an ideal base for cultural exploration. In addition, most of the hotel’s rooms will offer picturesque views of the pyramids.

“  We are very proud to enrich our Sofitel Legend portfolio with this magnificent property, our second Sofitel Legend in Egypt. This unique brand, combining French flair and legendary properties, was relaunched just one year ago. With this third Sofitel Legend signing this year, we see strong momentum for the brand across all continents, with many more projects to come. Our vision is to expand the Sofitel Legend network from six remarkable hotels today to a collection of 15 iconic gems within five years, and we are well on our way to achieving this ambitious goal. We look forward to working with ADTIC to meet the evolving expectations of luxury travelers in Egypt.”
