Al-Khalifa Holidays

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

Right in the middle of downtown old Cairo. Authentic.

From the moment I booked via Expedia, service was flawless. Gamal, the hotel manager, contacted me immediately and stayed in touch throughout, helping us plan every detail from Sharm El Sheikh to Cairo. He made us feel safe and cared for before we even met him. The hotel is quaint and cosy, and the view of the Pyramids is unreal! You couldn’t get closer unless you stood on them. Clean room, comfy bed, good shower, solid breakfast, great coffee. Everything we needed. Gamal organised all our excursions exactly how we wanted, with total transparency, no hidden costs. He also arranged a surprise birthday cake for me during our Nile cruise, which was incredibly thoughtful. A huge thank you to Mohammad, our driver, who picked us up at the airport and stayed with us throughout. He was warm, funny, and gave us local insights that made every drive feel like time spent with a friend. And Sherif, our guide, was amazing, so knowledgeable, honest, and helpful. He kept us from falling into tourist traps and took incredible photos of us throughout the trip. Every day felt like we were exploring with a friend, not just a guide. If you’re going to Cairo, book with Gamal and his team. I was anxious about scams, but they made us feel completely safe and welcome. Genuinely the best choice in Cairo.

Happy to recommend;Excellent and can’t fault it in any way. Overwhelmingly helpful staff - especially appreciated being taken to the train by Youssef at 5.30 in the morning and, also, being provided with a full breakfast at that time. Nothing was too much trouble - good communications including Airport pick-up, free maps and a lovely welcome drink. Great value; great central location for Cairo - a few minutes from metro; booked my Alexandria rail tickets; very good and good-value restaurant recommended by them close by; Very nice breakfast.
