One of the other megahotels that have bricked up the Nile Corniche in the center of Cairo in the mass tourism era: the Intercontinental Semiramis, which replaced one of Cairo’s historic palace hotels on the same site. Built 1988, and also painted pink to apparently match the Egyptian Museum across Tahrir Square, and otherwise lighten the mood.
