AlgeriaThe beautiful view of the Nile. Room service left the room nicely cleaned.
United States of AmericaThe location was great, away from the crazy city but close enough to access, 30 mins from the pyramids. Two beautiful restaurants on site; the pool area and jacuzzi was really lovely! Rooms overlooking the Nile- lovely view. We celebrated our anniversary whilst we were there, the hotel did us a cake free of charge which was a nice touch.
