You’ll get the best view of the Pyramids from this place. It’s literally right across the street. Excellent stone work inside. Also has an upper deck for eating & observation which is really great. The mattresses are extra firm. Not my preference but the room a/c will freeze you out. Breakfast is included. Not your average western omelette but it’s filling. You Love the view.

Unbelievable View and Staff! Review of Sahara Pyramids Inn Pending review The rooms themselves are just fine (I recommend the double deluxe), but not much different than other places. Where this place really excels is with their staff and views. The staff are incredibly friendly and they have 2 rooftop areas with the most incredible views of the Pyramids and Sphinx, with excellent food and atmosphere! A big shout out to Moka, Basha and Islam M!! Do not hesitate to stay here and spend the evenings staring at the amazing views! We will be back for sure!

Staff was super friendly and accommodating. My room was clean and no funky smells. Bottled water was provided. The bed was a futon style pad on a raised box. I had plenty of hot water. The food at the hotel was great. No security box in the room. The hotel has a commanding view of the pyramids is about 30 meters from the entrance to the pyramids park. It’s a great hotel that gives you a feel of old Cairo with all the camels and horse drawn buggies running back and forth. The nightly light show at the pyramids is visible from the balcony. The Spinx is slightly obscured by a tree, but otherwise the view is perfect. The hotel is more of a spartan style hotel for urban explorers that want to stay close to the pyramids. I loved it and would recommend it to a friend. The area has a heavy police presence because of the park and is safe to walk around at all hours. An ATM is just down the road by the entrance to the park. The street vendors can be a nuisance. They stopped bothering me by the end of the second day.

Catfished by room photos

It’s hard to write this, because the staff were very helpful and welcoming and they are what makes this inn a success. We just feel catfished by the photos of the rooms. We booked a deluxe twin room and all the photos showed that it had both a window AND a view of the pyramids. We had no windows in the room at all. The floor space is so small that going to the toilet at night was dangerous. The en-suite was so small, you can’t get up from the toilet properly without bashing the sink. The shower was hot which was good but nowhere to put the towel and water just went everywhere. Someone was right when they said it’s a transit location. We’d booked 2 nights and I wish we hadn’t. The food is good enough to not need to go out. The breakfast isn’t great. But after all of this, the staff were incredible. I can’t fault them at all. It’s the facility itself. It’s our fault, you get what you pay for and we went cheap.

The staff is awesome. They are respectful, pleasant, hardworking and willing. The property is a death trap, a fire hazard. There are hardly any windows, small tight passageways/corridors, lots of stairs to rooftop restaurant, exposed electrical wiring, even in the shower. No fire extinguishers or sprinkler system in sight. Most rooms have no windows. Our room has a small, tight smelly bathroom, a broken bed, nonstop running water in toilet, no way to turn off a few lights...either sleep with all lights on or in total darkness in a room with no windows. Beware of tour guides, even some hotel staff. Big scams, total shake down for all your money once you decide to hire one of them. Hawkers of all ages, grown men, women and young boys would not leave your side if you walk around the neighbourhood...they are like flies. I would not recommend anyone to stay in this property. On the positive side, it's the proximity to the pyramids and the staff at this property is hardworking, respectful and extremely pleasant.
