Beautiful view of the Pyramids, with air conditioning, WiFi, and touristic guide
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (54)
"This was my first visit to Egypt. We were met at the airport and helped through customs. The view was fabulous. We arrived after dark and the walk from the car to the apartment was very dusty; although I was expecting sandy, the thick dust was unexpected. The apt manager was 5 Star great. She arranged wonderful transportation and was extremely friendly and helpful."

"The hotel staff take wonderful pride in the property and service. And the hotel is very attractive. Breakfast is excellent. However, it is difficult to evaluate the hotel because the government is building the meteo on Alharam- making it more challenging to walk to the pyramids, or any nearby business."
