  • This hotel was a welcome getaway from the manic city outside. It serves good food and has a rooftop bar with amazing views over the city. The rooms are clean and the cleaning staff excellent (except when they hint for tips). If you can, get a Nile view room for great views and good people watching at night. The location is excellent with the Egyptian museum just out the back door and the Nile in front. It is showing its age but I believe Ritz Carlton is taking over and redeveloping the site at the end of 2008.
    Be aware the road out front is very busy and also security is very heavy on entering the hotel.

     Thanks for the advice on what to avoid as well as what to see. as bad as some paint Egypt, it is still a must see place in my book and we will go there. good photos well illustrate what you say .

     Great tips.I'd like to visit Egypt too but some things are putting me off,like what you wrote on warnings and dangers.I read a lot more bad experiences but still Egypt is one in my wishlist.There's only 1 Egypt in the world;)
