Accommodation Recommendations

For FISTS 2026, we recommend staying in New Cairo (5th Settlement), a modern and vibrant area that offers convenient access to the conference venue at the German University in Cairo (GUC). New Cairo features a wide range of hotels, shopping malls, restaurants, cafés, and nightlife options, and is well connected to major tourist attractions. Ride-hailing services such as Uber are widely available, reliable, and affordable in Cairo, making transportation easy for conference participants.
