Warraq al Arab Vacation Packages

The location is perfect There is easy access within a two min walk to the pyramids entrance and many restaurants with rooftop views of the grounds The pool is too cold for kids in the winter seasons The breakfast is so big and full of options that if you don’t like one thing you will like another The women and younger gentleman that work at the hotel are wonderful The older guy ( might be the owner) is a liar Don’t trust him when he quotes you how much things will cost All tours cheaper online He told us he could get us a ride to the museum for 40$ US when in reality a cab or tuk tuk is 2-6$ on the street depending on traffic

Clean rooms, amazing breakfast and wonderful staff.

Al Farida Boutique Hotel offers a decent stay near the pyramids in a historic, rundown part of Cairo. The hotel is small but well maintained, with kind staff and a rooftop restaurant offering great pyramid views. Our city view room was spacious and had comfortable beds, but the noise level was unbearable—despite assurances from staff, it felt like sleeping on the street. Cheaper rooms were quieter, making the upsell misleading. Room service was lacking, even after multiple requests, and basic amenities like toothpaste weren’t provided. While the hotel is close to the pyramids, walking isn’t allowed due to government restrictions, so a car is needed. Cairo is full of scams, making trustworthy guides essential. We highly recommend Muhammad El Khawaga, arranged by the hotel—he was honest, knowledgeable, and protected us from scams. Other tours booked through the hotel were disappointing or unsafe. The quad bike tour was mostly on chaotic streets, not the desert, with poor equipment and no helmets. Another guide even helped scammers at the pyramids. Be cautious with hotel-arranged tours and taxis—only book with Muhammad El Khawaga. Also note: the hotel adds a 3% surcharge for card payments.

Awesome customer service + perfect location at good price. Highly recommend it!!

Difficult for front desk to understand or communicate in English and there was only one staff member who was English speaking. Water was not supplied in room, nor was coffee or tea. Otherwise the room was large with nice sitting area
