Swimming Pools
Swimming pools take on an extra allure in Cairo, whose only "public" pool is the spa at Ain Helwan (daily 8am-3pm; GBPE2). The Heliolido (tel 258-0070) off Midan Roxi is open to members only, but offers monthly memberships for GBPE250 (open July-Sept). The nearby Heliopolis Sporting Club (tel 417-0010) on Sharia Merghani has a larger pool and admits foreigners over the summer (bring your passport), but the entrance fee (GBPE20) doesn't include use of the other facilities. The Olympic-size pool at the Ahli Club by the Opera House on Sharia Om Kalthoum is for more serious swimmers and also has women-only sessions - monthly membership costs US$50. Hotel pools are more accessible, the best being the Semiramis InterContinental (GBPE84), Cairo Marriott (GBPE63) and Atlas Zamalek (GBPE28.50). The rooftop pool of the Fontana Hotel, off Midan Ramses, is cheaper for dipping (GBPE10) but hardly big enough for a swim.
