Cairo Marriott Hotel Casino

The Cairo Marriott Hotel Casino operates within one of Egypt's most historically significant hotels — the Cairo Marriott, which incorporates the Gezira Palace, constructed by Khedive Ismail in 1869 to house Empress Eugénie of France during the ceremonies marking the opening of the Suez Canal. The palace's two wings were subsequently transformed into a hotel and casino complex, creating one of the most atmospheric gaming venues on the African continent.

The casino is open exclusively to foreign passport holders under Egyptian law and features a selection of table games (roulette, blackjack, baccarat, and poker) and slot machines set against a backdrop of chandeliers, ornate plasterwork, and the splendid garden courtyard that has made the hotel a gathering point for Cairo's international community since the colonial era.

The Gezira Island location — in the Nile between central Cairo and Giza — gives the hotel and casino a peaceful separation from the city's noise, and the grounds include one of Cairo's most beautiful garden terraces. For international visitors, the casino is one of the most convenient and sophisticated gaming options in North Africa.
