This was truly one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. From the hallways to the rooms, every detail was impeccably designed. The staff was outstanding. Welcoming, attentive, and always willing to go above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. A special thank you to MD, Bota, and Ehab for their remarkable hospitality. Without a doubt, this will be my first choice of hotel on my next visit to Egypt.
