Our Guests

Casa Cairo is a workspace/retreat with a private master bedroom, it is...
❌  Not a hotel/hostel
❌  Not a vacation rental
❌  Not a tourist attraction

Casa Cairo is designed for writers, artists, entrepreneurs, and creatives seeking more than a short stay, it’s a month-long sanctuary/retreat for deep work, clarity, and inspiration. This is a place to settle in, unplug from the noise, and bring your vision to life. Whether you’re finishing a novel, building a startup, developing a script, or simply craving time to think, this space offers the rhythm and focus you need to create something meaningful. A retreat as no other...

It's Not Suited for

❌  Families with children

❌  Group events or celebrations

❌  Tourists on sightseeing tours

❌  People seeking entertainment, instead of reflection

❌  Pets (sorry!)

❌  Indoor smoking (we do have two balconies!)

Casa Cairo is for:

🚀 Entrepreneurs on the brink of a breakthrough

🌿 People stepping out of routine, into inspiration — your semi- sabbatical

✍️ Writers racing against tight deadlines

🌐 Digital nomads seeking a focused base

🎬 Filmmakers fine-tuning their scripts

🧠 Students needing calm and concentration

🎨 Artists chasing new inspiration

🧳 Creatives escaping the mundane for authenticity

What You’ll Find in casa cairo

🌟 One private master bedroom — for a solo guest or married couple only

🧑‍💻 Spacious private coworking space with a maximum of 12 working  (no overnight stay) guests

🧘‍♂️ Two creative rooms for thinking, writing, filming and creating

🌆 The ambiance of Old Cairo just outside your door

The Neighborhood: Old Cairo

Step outside Casa Cairo and you won’t find designer stores or glitzy restaurants. Instead, you’ll walk into something more valuable: El Daher, the real Cairo.  People say here, this is not Egypt, but this is Masr. Come and see for yourself. You are invited.

What You’ll Find outside

🥙 Street food that’s humble, delicious, and full of heart

🍲 Simple local eateries where the ingredients are fresh, traditional, and proudly Egyptian

☕ Tiny cafes with strong coffee and stronger character

👵 Vendors who’ve been serving the same beloved dishes for generations

What You Won’t Find

❌  Luxury shops or curated concept stores

❌  No Starbucks on the corner. Just tiny cafés where the coffee is strong, the cups are chipped, and the stories are older than the walls.

❌  Fine dining or wine bars.

❌  Trendy brunch spots with imported menus. We are not in New Cairo;)

❌  Anything polished, staged, or Instagram-perfect

✅ Casa Cairo doesn’t offer luxury. It offers honesty and cleaningness. It’s not trying to impress you. It’s just being. And that’s what makes it unforgettable.

A Place Out of Time

🕰️ Feels like Cairo in the 1960s—life unfolding at street level

🧺 Laundry lines above you, fresh bread carts beside you

🎶 Echoes of radios, call to prayer, and everyday conversation

🧓 Neighbors who greet you like you've always been there

🌅 Wake up, create, wander, return.
🧘‍♀️ A space for self-reflection and serious progress.

🪄 Think of it as an artist’s residency—without the paperwork

Who Will Love It Here

💻 Digital Nomads in search of focus, not flash. The ultimate retreat.

🌍 Remote workers who trade noise for nuance

🎨 Creatives looking for authentic textures and lived-in beauty
