Paradise Pool — Misr Insurance Club

125 pounds for the day: a sports-club pool, not a hotel annexe.

Budget

Paradise Pool is the pool of the Misr lil-Ta'min club — Misr Insurance — at 6th of October, behind Mall of Arabia. It is a real sports club and not a hotel annexe: basins for adults, one for children, water heated in winter, so not a summer-only address. The day ticket is sold to the public without membership, 125 pounds for an adult on weekdays and 175 on Fridays and public holidays, with a children's rate under ten. The price has a catch, and it is the timetable: it changes with the day, opening is early, and the afternoon switches to a families-only slot.

The extra bit

Ring the day before to have the timetable confirmed for the day you want: it is the one detail that shifts from day to day, and it decides what time you have to be there.

Know before you go

Mixing: the pool is mixed, but in slots, and that is worth reading before you set off. The morning is an open period; the afternoon is families only — Thursday to Saturday 2pm to 7pm, Friday and public holidays 3pm to 9pm. No women-only slot is advertised. Access: a day ticket sold to the public without membership — 125 EGP for an adult (10 and over) and 60 EGP for a child (3 to 10) on weekdays, 175 and 75 EGP on Fridays and public holidays, free under 3 with an adult. These prices come from a coupon valid until 30 September 2026 and do not apply during official holidays: have the rate confirmed by phone before making the drive.
