I have never had a more wonderful travel experience!
The entire staff was very friendly, genuine and welcoming.
The hotel is located on the western most street in Giza. The view is unparalleled and astonishing; all 3 major pyramids, their satellite pyramids and the Sphinx are all on stunning display from the very spacious roof (and your room if you choose, you should!).
My alarm clock was the 1st call to prayer around 5:20. It was magical and added to an already elemental experience. The street below behind bustling with camels, singly or in great lines, horse drawn carriages, donkey/mule drawn carts, cars, some buses around 7. The neighborhood dog, Willie, keeps an eye on it all. He tolerates all the Action from 7-7, am-pm, then he starts enforcing no Action hours hahaha 😁
My greatest gratitude, appreciation, affection and respect to many.
My main guy (can’t use names) was the best! He arranged the things I wanted to do, got my stay arrangements handled easily and spent much time just talking about the Giza plateau and other sites. He went above and beyond my expectations for any host. We got to be friends and I hope to remain so.
The other staff, the chefs (delicious food there!), were just the greatest.
Another special shout-out to my main driver, the World Heavyweight Champion of driving the treacherous (really!) ways of Cairo, Saqarra and beyond! He’s my brother. He showed me places tourists don’t go. These people feel like my new family. Best trip
