The owner, Mohammed, is very nice and helpful. When you get to Abu Sir, you can call him and he will come and find you and show you the way to the guest house. He also helped me find a restaurant to eat in the village in the evening. The view from the roof is very nice, and the bed was very comfortable. Great stay. Thank you, Mohammed.

If you come to Egypt, definitely go to Sakkara, it’s really worth it. The beauty of the place will enchant you! And if you go to Sakkara stay at Sakkara inn. Clean, quiet place in front of abu sir. The staff is really helpful and friendly. I highly recommend it!!!

Carlos Canada

Very clean place. Very nicely located in the area of Saqqara. The place has a nice quiet garden and a beautiful terrace from where you can see the village and the desert area around it. The breakfast is great and copious. The owner is very helpful and friendly; he helped us organize our trip to Abu Sir pyramids. We recommend this place to everyone.

Vlad Romania

Mr. mohamed the owner is very friendly, he had my full trust because he cares about everything.. a very joyful experience I’m really happy with it ♥️♥️

Mo'men Egypt

The host provided a great stay and a good breakfast. The accommodation, located very close to Abu Sir pyramids, is clean and very enjoyable, making possible to see a beautiful sunset in the desert right next to the said pyramids.

Adrian Romania

I had an excellent stay at Sakkara Inn. Mohamed went above and beyond to ensure I had a unique and memorable experience in Egypt. This is the place to stay for independent travelers with an interest in archaeology and Egyptian history. It’s right in between Saqqara and Giza, while you can view the Abusir pyramids from the rooftop. Furthermore, by staying here you can also get a glimpse of local village life.

Micah United States of America

We had a great stay at Sakkara Inn with Mohamed as our host. Beautiful local surroundings and from the roof a view overlooking several pyramids. The breakfast and dinner were home made and delicious. Mohamed went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was as comfortable as possible. Mohamed helped us plan a trip every day, and either him or his driver showed us the sights like Giza, Sakkara, Cairo city and Abu Sir pyramids. After we planned the week we agreed on a price and when we paid everything was as expected (a fair price for several dinners and driving). We would recommend this to everyone seeking a local and adventures experience who does not mind 1-2 hours of driving to see some of the sights.

We very much enjoyed our one night stay with Mohammad and his little nephew Karim. It is an excellent alternative to staying in the centre of Cairo! Easy to find with google maps. The Guesthouse has its own private garden to chill and drink tea in. Safe off road parking for a bicycle or motorbike. Our double room was very clean and comfortable with a hot shower and beautiful view onto horses stables. We enjoyed the rooftop watching the sunset and having our breakfast with a view of djoser pyramids. Mohammad and Karim went out of their way to ensure we had a comfortable stay - Karim even escorted us to buy some yummy kofta and to make sure we didn’t get lost! Thank you very much for such a nice stay, Emma & Eddie :)
