Amazing location and Individual Attention
Words can not describe the experience we had at Kafrat al Jabal. From the minute we arrived to the minute we left, we were taken care of as if we were family. Mohamed helped out in anyway possible. He arranged a dinner boat tour, tours of the pyramids and other locations, and even got us to the Souk and other historical sites in Cairo. The tours and his location is all family run and treats you as if you were family when staying.
Two of the evenings we were exhausted and didn't want to head out to get food, so Mohamed ordered food one night and took me to pick up food the other night from locations with wonderful food.
Each night we sat on the rooftop to watch the pyramid light show and our young daughter would play with some of his family's children.
If you are looking for a location for family or a get away next to the pyramids, this is the location. We would go back in a heart beat (and will).
