What to pack & wear

– Responsible travel

How we travel here

The hotel operates standard diesel and petrol vehicles for its airport shuttle and staff transport; we do not run electric shuttle services at this hotel. We work with the hotel team on waste separation in back-of-house areas and encourage guests to reuse towels and linens through the property housekeeping scheme. Food and beverage sourcing highlights local suppliers for bakery and produce where possible, and the hotel employs local staff from 6th of October City and nearby Cairo districts. We favour suppliers with documented labour practices, and we ask guests to book spa and transfer services through us so we can track supplier capacity and fair work standards. If you want further sustainability details, we will request current supplier reports from the hotel and share them on request.

Asked & answered

Frequent questions

1. 01How far is Novotel 6 October from the Pyramids?

   Novotel 6 October is in 6th of October City, west of central Cairo. Travel to the Giza Plateau requires a private car; journey times are longer than from hotels in Giza. We can arrange pickups for Giza visits, but expect earlier departures to avoid peak traffic. We rarely recommend 6th of October hotels for first-time Cairo visitors because travel times to central sites are longer; we normally suggest central Cairo if you prioritise short transfers.
2. 02Do you provide airport transfers to Novotel 6 October?

   We can arrange private transfers between Cairo International Airport and Novotel 6 October. As a licensed Egyptian tour operator, we supply a driver who meets you at arrivals and handles luggage at the hotel. Please send flight numbers and arrival times so we can adjust for delays or early arrivals. Transfer cost and vehicle size are confirmed at booking.
3. 03Is breakfast included in the room rate at Novotel 6 October?

   Breakfast inclusion depends on the rate or board basis you choose. We confirm the board code at booking and can add breakfast to your reservation if it is not included. If you have dietary needs–vegetarian, gluten-free, allergies–tell us in advance and we will request appropriate options from the hotel. Any local supplement for breakfast will be shown on your booking confirmation.
4. 04What are the hotel's check-in and check-out times?

   Check-in and check-out times are set by the hotel and can differ by rate and room type. We will confirm the precise times on your booking confirmation. If you need early check-in or late check-out we can request this, but it is subject to availability and the hotel's policy; charges may apply. For guaranteed early arrival we usually book the room for the previous night.
5. 05Does Novotel 6 October have a pool and fitness centre?

   Hotel leisure facilities vary; we will confirm pool and gym availability and opening hours when you book. Seasonal closures, maintenance or local rules can affect access, so we check current status before arrival. If a pool or gym is essential for your holiday, tell us at enquiry and we will prioritise a hotel that guarantees those facilities. Pool towels, lifeguard presence and child rules differ by hotel.
6. 06Is Novotel 6 October suitable for families with young children?

   Family suitability depends on room allocation and services you require. Tell us children's ages and we will request cots, extra beds or interconnecting rooms where available, and confirm child-meal options. Note that staying in 6th of October City means longer transfers to major sites compared with central Cairo hotels, which can matter with small children. We will outline trade-offs and recommend the best option for your party.
7. 07Can you collect me from Novotel 6 October for private tours?

   Yes – we can pick you up from Novotel 6 October for private tours across Cairo and Upper Egypt. Pickup is usually from the hotel lobby; we confirm a specific driver and vehicle on your booking voucher. Expect pickups to be scheduled earlier than from central hotels to allow for traffic; please be ready at the agreed time. We provide licensed drivers and guide meet-ups when required, and we handle parking permissions where necessary.
