Africa Cheap Vacations

The location is perfect for walking

We stayed at the Great Pyramids Inn for two nights and had a mixed experience. The biggest issue was the airport pickup. Even though we arranged it in advance, no one was waiting for us at the meeting point and the driver wasn’t holding a sign with our name. We had to search for him, and the car was parked far away, requiring a long walk with luggage and even going down stairs, which was frustrating after a long flight. The room itself was very clean, but the window advertised in the listing was misleading. The room we received had only a tiny bathroom-style window facing a wall less than a meter away, offering no natural light. The staff were respectful and helpful, and the breakfast served each morning was genuinely good. The highlight of the stay was the rooftop. The view of the pyramids is outstanding, and we enjoyed spending time there on both nights. We were welcomed with fresh orange juice on the first evening, which was a nice touch. We ordered Egyptian kebab and Om Ali for dinner; the food presentation was good, but the kebab arrived a bit cold, and the dessert wasn’t served in a traditional way. Despite the issues with pickup and the room, the rooftop view and the cleanliness of the hotel made our stay memorable. With improvements to transportation coordination and more accurate room descriptions, this hotel could offer a much better overall experience.
