2026-October
Our reservation included free pickup from the airport. Our flight arrived at 11:45 PM. We got through immigration fast but it took a while to get our luggage. Our host, Abdul, contacted me through WhatsApp to let me know where he was and which gate. When I told him our luggage was taking longer, he said no problem. He even took a picture of the gate and sent it to me through WhatsApp. When he saw us, he gave me a bouquet of flowers... that was sooo thoughtful. He helped us with our luggage and picked us up in an air-conditioned van. While driving, he was pointing out sights along the road and conversed in English well.
We arrived at the Diamond Pyramids Inn (DPI) in about 30 minutes. Another person welcomed us and helped us with our luggage, and Abdul gave us some welcome fruit drinks. It was delicious. DPI is located along a frontage road, on the 4th floor of a building. There is a small elevator that can only be accessed with a key, and DPI occupies the whole 4th floor.
The room is a decent size, with a small deck with 3 chairs and a small dining table. We saw the pyramids from our deck even at that hour. Our room had 1 queen and 1 twin bed. There's another small table with 2 chairs inside the room, and also a makeup corner. The room is very well lit. The AC responds very well with the remote control. A small TV is wall mounted above the mini fridge, which was well stocked with bottled water. There were some chips, snacks, a hot water electric pot, and coffee.
