"Negative first, because I would have given a 5star rating if this didn’t happen. Before going to Egypt we read all about the Locals swindling tourists and decided to play it safe and speak to the sky taxi/tour service on offer by the hotel. This was a mistake. The man at the desk spoke all about how he wanted to offer us the best service lie lie lie. He offered a driver who could take us to the pyramids for $13 US. We thought that was a good deal and expected to simply pay entrance fees and a fee to ride a camel if we so desired. We were told that our driver would stay with us all day, but he ended up taking us to some terrible backstreets to meet with some man we weren’t told about, who offered us a horse and carriage ride to the pyramids. We told the driver we didn’t want this, but the man became angry, making it seem like we didn’t have a choice. Being jet lagged and in a very dodgy looking area we really didn’t feel we had a choice. He offered a price of 900 Pounds each and no possibility to barter and we were sent on our way. Our driver was very unhelpful. To make matters worse, the carriage driver stopped us after the pyramids tour asking us for money and refusing to take us back to our driver without a tip. If you want to see the pyramids take an Uber and pay the entrance fee and then choose for yourself whether you want a carriage or camel. That is our advice. Remainder of the staff were friendly and helpful. Hotel was dated but clean. Overall good value for money.…""Negative first, because I would have given a 5star rating if this didn’t happen.

"I love love loved the show they provided after the buffet. This should not be missed. I also think the fact you are right on the Nile watching every day life is so fun. The families fishing right out your sliding glass doors a great photo opportunity. Breakfast is served in your room is ok for down time. The roof terrace restaurant is a nice place especially to smoke a hookah.…""I love love loved the show they provided after the buffet. This should not be missed.
