This was a welcome oasis after a long journey from the West coast of the U.S. Upon advanced request the hotel arranged round trip airport-hotel ground transportation. We were met at the airport and guided through seamlessly and effortlessly through security check points and customs. There was no waiting in line at all, and we were escorted to our waiting car. I should have requested the same service upon our return to the U.S., where we fended on our own at the airport (very chaotic, and a near miss of our return flight). There is an abundance of hotel staff who are professional, and most helpful. We were greeted with a cool welcoming drink and a staff member who checked us in, explained everything, and escorted us to our rooms. The room was quiet, with climate control, and conducive to rest; it had a view of the city. There was no desk area to use a laptop and if you plan to do serious work, forget it. There is a short runway up to the main entrance of the hotel which is always busy and crowded with over-parked cars. There are restaurants at the hotel. We included breakfast in our hotel stay. There were many nutritious food choices to appeal to an international clientele. For us, having a good breakfast lasted us the whole day through while we took in various tours of the city. Ground transportation is readily available. There is an unremarkable mall connected to the hotel. We should like to return to Egypt and will likely stay here again.
