Venue district
Cairo Water Week convenes at Triumph Luxury Hotel in the Fifth Settlement, a purpose-built New Cairo district, so most of the week is spent inside a modern hotel-and-conference environment rather than the historic centre.
Dress and conduct
Business attire works for sessions; for evening visits to central Cairo or mosques, modest dress covering shoulders and knees is the safer standard.
Getting around
New Cairo is a car-oriented district about 18 km from Cairo International Airport; hotels in the cluster advertise airport shuttles and free parking, and ride-hailing covers the last stretch to the venue.
