  • I say Survival Compound, good price, great location because I was ripped off upon arrival. I had been charged $82 a night when I booked the room for 2 in the us. We picked up a third traveler before arrival. For a roll away bed I was charged $53!!!!!!!! a night!!!!!!!!!! for a roll away!!!!!!!!!!!!
    So, be sure of things before you invite anyone into your room.
    As for the actual hotel, it was pretty good and in a great location. It was one of the only places I felt safe the entire trip. It was like a compound with a 9ft. wall around the property like most hotels in Giza and several security guards. The hotel had three restaurants and small bar. We hired a driver for $35 a day to take us wherever we wanted to go. It was necessary for us because we were the only people at the hotel not with a tour group (yes I felt crazy lame). But bottom line Cairo is not safe and if I had it to do over I would have done almost the same thing including staying at a hotel like Oasis.

     As an expatriate who has lived here 14 years, I can only say that if you felt Cairo was "not safe", then you really need to get out more often....!?! Perhaps you SHOULD have found a group to travel around with, complete with guide...??
