Pharaoh's Palace

“I found the environment cool with the open air lounge, but i thought the people who worked there were way too pushy. They started knocking on my door several times a day in order to try and sell me a trip. Then called me an A__hole for not buying one through them, even though I got the same trip for less down the street.

“A pretty nice hostel in the centre of Cairo. The place looked party refurbished. It's got everything you could expect from a hostel. Good pricing, nice and very friendly stuff. Don't expect your breakfast to be ready for the time you ordered it as some of the staff stay there overnight so they need some rest but once you wake someone up which they don't mind at all the breakfast is served. It is in a good location with easy access to the main train station and close to the Nile. We really liked the taxi driver who works for them. He knows a lot about history of Egypt and is more than happy to share that knowledge. He took us for a nice trip to Sakkara and then to Giza where to our surprise we ended up in one of many stables you can find there and got ourself a good price for a horse and camel trip around the pyramids. Don't forget to leave tips :) they really try their best and deserve them.
