Our diverse activities and huge infrastructure
allow Sultana Tours to seamlessly coordinate
conferences long before arrival until the last
departure, whether it is a large conference
requiring accommodation and transportation for
several hundred, or an informal conference
requiring facilities that are more personal. The
Cairo International Conference Center is incentive
enough to choose Egypt. |

Fifty-eight thousand meters of conference
facilities, 13,000 meters of exhibition space,
seating for 4,000 people, all on spacious
landscaped grounds. State-of-the-art audio-visual equipment and additional
facilities accommodate any function from a small
sales seminar to a large voting congress, a
computer expo, or even an international ballet
performance. Sultana Tours’ experience and
leverage, plus the world-class CICC
facility, against the backdrop of Egypt's unique
ambiance and atmosphere and sunny climate, is
certainly what it takes to organize a successful
–and memorable- event.

For many visitors,
Egypt, with its particular blend of Western
sophistication and oriental magic, is one of the
world's most exciting countries. In fact, Egypt is
a remarkable place. It always has been. But while
everybody knows that it left an indelible
impression on Herodotus 2500 years ago, not
everybody is aware that it tends to have much the
same effect now. More than any other place,
perhaps, Egypt is an experience, rather than
simply a place, never simply a stopover.
Telecommunication efficiency has been honed down
to perfection, telex and facsimile facilities are
at your fingertips, as are direct satellite
communications enabling teleconferencing. And with
the new Cairo International Conference Centre, you
can be assured of receiving services offered in
any city in the world. It is not for nothing that,
for so many, Egypt is the ultimate blend of the
sophisticated glitter of the West and ancient
charm of the East. There are over one thousand
restaurants in Cairo alone, serving every cuisine
ever introduced to a kitchen. After dinner, there
are exciting nightclubs and discotheques. You may
play the night away at the Tables or if you
prefer, there is the Opera, housing plays,
ballets, music concerts and modern dance.
Why The
CICC?
Egypt has
long been the focal centre of Africa and the
Middle East, but while the capabilities of the
facilities available were never in doubt, the
proper facilities to conduct the larger
conferences had not been available. Preparation
began five years ago to ensure that this
situation was remedied as soon as possible.
The Cairo International Conference Centre (CICC)
is the result of those years of tireless
planning and careful execution. It is the only
comprehensive conference centre in the country,
over 30 hectares of it. Of these, 58,000 sq.m.
have been given over to conference facilities
that are nothing less than state of the art. The
Centre is the very latest in conference
facilities to ensure that while everything is
carried with the greatest possible efficiency,
your comfort and convenience have been seen to.
To start with, the Centre is a mere ten minute
drive from Cairo International Airport, a short
drive from any one of several five star hotels
and a five minute walk from the Cairo Stadium
and the Cairo International Exhibition Grounds.
Once you arrive, you might be pleased to know
that there is parking space available for 1,200
cars. The Centre itself is of some note. As you
stroll along its immaculately kept interiors you
will be able to appreciate so much more than the
magnificent architecture. The Centre hired
expert artists and art buyers to lovingly
collect millions of pounds worth of art, now on
display at the Centre. Not all the art displayed
at the Centre is Egyptian origin however, there
is a substantial amount of art on display that
is the gift of Chinese artists, among them a
breathtakingly beautiful hand carved wall mural
that took over three years to complete, and a
magnificent wall painting depicting marriage in
Egypt down the ages, that took up one and a half
years of the lives of a husband and wife team of
artists. The art is not the only thing you can
view in the Italian marble corridors. Discreetly
placed along the walls are large Closed Circuit
Television Monitors, linking you to every one of
the five halls, to ensure that you are up to
date wherever you are at all times.
The Centre is assured that efficiency rests on
every possible level. There are fully equipped
kitchens and cafeterias ensuring a gourmand's
paradise, and your every wish in this field may
be accommodated. We are, however, aware that man
does not live by bread alone. We have seen to it
that the your safety and security have been
ensured by installing state of the art fire
detection and prevention systems and seeing to
it that the most sophisticated and thorough
security systems to be found are available.
Security is handled on a two sided basis; the
In-house Security assures your safety, and the
government special branch is always on hand to
provide that comforting, specialized extra
protection. Egypt's weather generally invites
you to step outside, however, and in this case
it is well worth it.
The
exquisite Chinese Garden must be one of outmost
cherished facilities. An Oasis of peace and
harmony, this beautiful garden is set in the
midst of 28 lush acres of land. It is a peaceful
haven, a place to slip away to from the stress
of business. The winding paths will take you to
a beautiful Chinese Pagoda, and if you decide to
stroll down the hill, you will come upon the
lovely man made lake, home of the two Chinese
pavilions, the winter one walled in and the
summer one a lovely courtyard. It is a beautiful
spot to simply relax, enjoy some light
refreshment while watching the colorful
woodpeckers and simply relax.
The
Catering is something to be savoured. In order
to serve you to the utmost of our ability, we
entrusted the catering of the Centre to one of
the world's foremost catering companies. And to
help them to do their best, we took care that
the massive fully equipped kitchen the Centre
holds is the very latest in the field, and
contains everything needed to provide anything
for a banquet fit for a king, to the simplest
refreshments you might need to carry you through
a breakfast meeting.
Naturally, all this technology would not be of
much use without a highly qualified, dedicated
group of people to see to it that things run
smoothly. And that is exactly what we do have
here. The beautiful Administration Building is a
fitting showcase for the talents of our
administrative staff. The buildings room offices
and tasteful corridors hold some of the
brightest and most competent people in the
business.
This part of the Centre is to be found quietly,
humming with activity, the purpose of which is
to ensure that everything is running smoothly.
In fact the Centre, in every way, and in every
department, has been designed to look wonderful,
and to function even better.
Special
Facilities:
We do realize that conferences of all types
entail more than just meetings. They are a
time when a great deal of work has to be
completed, sometimes in a very short time
span. And we also know that you will almost
certainly have more on your plate than you can
handle. To make sure that you complete your
workload with as little fuss as possible, we
have provided a quietly efficient and
competent secretarial pool. There is no need
for you to leave your office behind just
because you're thousands of miles away from
home. The Centre also has mobile in-terpretation
units and three large rooms or boardrooms each
with a capacity of 50 persons for the smaller
meetings or receptions or even just for a
display area.
