Cairo sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Expedia. Cairo hotels mix tour-operator allotments, independent cultural travellers and conference business around New Cairo and the Nile corridor. On the Red Sea, all-inclusive contracts with European operators dominate, so the revenue opportunity sits in protecting rooms for direct and OTA demand in peak weeks. We review allotment release dates, set separate rate strategies for each source market, and keep a comp set split between city and coast.
Booking.com is the main OTA for both Cairo and the coast, Expedia brings North American cultural travellers, and Airbnb competes strongly for Zamalek flats and El Gouna villas. On the Red Sea, tour operators still shape European demand, so OTA pricing must sit sensibly against package rates without undercutting them.
The full service is described on our other hotel ota optimization page; this page covers how it applies in Cairo.
