"Such a great experience! There are 8 tents, so it’s a very small group of guests. We all arrived to snacks and tea and were brought to our rooms. The dinner was very delecious followed by a show! It was fun to have the small group of guests dance together by the fire to the music. The rooms looked like actual hotel rooms. The bathroom had a shower with hot running water and was very clean. Everything is solar powered. The staff were all very friendly and charming. They help you book camel rides...

"The best thing about this property is the location. The view from the roof terrace is directly to the Pyramids. And our room was overlooking the Pyramids The staff was very helpful. Ahmed, Ala and Sara did answered all our question. The property itself can do with updating but not desperately. One not so great thing was breakfast. Pretty basic So if you are not looking for 5* hotel this Inn is good deal"

8/10 Good
"The hotel, hotel room, and amenities are beautiful. The staff was friendly and helpful. We loved the couples massage that I had scheduled before our arrival. However, I had also reached out a month or two months in advance and asked them to decorate the room for our five-year anniversary, but they didn’t. Before spending a few nights in Cairo we stayed at the Hilton Resort and Spa in Luxor, and they set the bar high with swans made out of towels, hearts on the bed, and even gave us a heart-shaped cake for free. At Sofitel, we didn’t get anything and that was disappointing."
