Beware of rudeness and hostility towards outsiders coming specially Egyptians. The moment we stepped into the hotel, We were welcomed by a security personnel who drove us to the reception where we were asked to pay in advance or leave. After we paid they forced us to sit in a certain spot outside the main shaded terrace. I noticed that foreign tourists were not asked to pay in advance.

Our stay was spectacular. It was our first time here and in Egypt and I would definitely return as the hotel and staff surpassed our expectations. From the service at breakfast from Alaa, the incredible reception where Martina made every effort to make our stay unforgettable, even the 4pm tour of the hotel with the brilliant and knowledgeable Shaza. Would highly recommend this hotel for anyone wanting a rich understanding of the culture and history of such a remarkable place.
