8.6/10 Excellent! (236 reviews)
The room was clean, and the staff were very nice and friendly. The room wasn't quiet at all, and the mattress was very firm, which made it uncomfortable. Otherwise, the room was so nice, and everything was so clean.

Also, it was not peak season so many things were not fully operating, like the Aqua Park. The apartment we stayed ...

Be careful for many locals will attempt to rip you off. Use Uber or Careem - cheap and safe. Females dress modestly else may face harassment especially late evenings. Alexandria to Cairo use train - 1st class air conditioned carriage is 70 - 104 EGP.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

I have been many times and although it is not the same as it used to be - many old buildings are being demolished - it is always nice.
