A fit for guests who want a staffed pool with Nile views, since a lifeguard is on duty. It is small at 26 square meters, and neither the floor nor the access rules are published.
The pool
The outdoor free-form pool sits on the hotel's roof on the Nile Corniche, with Nile views from the water. It measures 26 square meters. The floor isn't stated, and the Semiramis Spa and Fitness Centre overlooks it.
Our take
This is the smallest pool on our list with a stated size, so it is a place to cool off rather than swim laps. The Kempinski's pool is 10 m by 5 m and also guests-only in what it states. Here, the rules aren't stated at all.
The lifeguard and poolside menu of light snacks and drinks are the draw. Access is the catch: no day pass, no hours and no floor are published, so ask before you count on it.
