Riads in Sahara Desert

"The hotel is a great value, and best of all is the view and restaurant/ bar on the rooftop. "

"This property was exactly what I was looking for, a place to rest for a few days because of traveling a great distance and jet lag. The breakfast was fine, and I enjoyed eating dinner next door where they had vegetarian food and waiter service. I chose a room with a balcony and view of the pyramids—I couldn’t have gotten any closer! The $25 ride to the airport was efficient and direct, but be advised it costs about $7 with Uber. The road is extremely noisy at night, but thankfully I travel with airbuds. This is an ideal place to stay for visiting the Pyramids on foot, entering at the Sphinx entrance (a short walk away). You’ll need to buy your ticket online since there is no ticket booth at this east entrance. "

"I was very surprised on how modern and clean the room was. The breakfast was also very pleasing and had a variety of options. Even the staff were smiling the whole time and were super nice. If I came to Cairo again, Novotel would be my go to."

"Staff are helpful and service oriented! Hotel is very clean, bed is extremely comfortable, food good"

"Excellent property right on the airport grounds "

"Close to airport Excellent customer service Rooms pretty clean and spacious They held our luggage til the rooms were ready They gave us connnecting rooms for my family"

"Fantastic. Egyptian museum is outside the back door. Wonderful pool, great breakfast buffet"

"Great hotel in front of nile river. The reception was amazing and helpful. Very high security protection which makes you feel safe. Room and bed were very comfortable. Good value for the money. The only downside is that the majority of the customers are from Arab gulf countries which - in my opinion- have some behavioural issues which can makes someone uncomfortable next to them. Other than that, it’s a lovely place and will definitely recommend it "

"I had an amazing experience at this hotel! From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the cleanliness of the entire property—everything was spotless and well-maintained. I also felt very safe throughout my stay, which gave me great peace of mind, especially as a traveler. One of the absolute highlights was the incredible view of the pyramids—truly breathtaking and something I’ll never forget. The rooftop area was perfect for relaxing, with delicious food, attentive service, and a panoramic view that made every meal feel special. Breakfast was also exceptional, with a generous and flavorful spread that kept me going for the day. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate any requests I had—they were always friendly, helpful, and genuinely cared about making my stay enjoyable. Considering all these perks, I found the price to be more than fair for such a memorable and comfortable experience. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Cairo who wants a clean, safe, and welcoming place with unbeatable views of the pyramids!"
