Downtown Cairo, Bab Al Louq: albergues

My stay here was very short but enjoyable. Muhammed picked me up from the airport for a small fee, which made coming to Cairo for the first time a lot less stressful! He was so kind and hospitable, even offered me to join him on a day trip to Alexandria, which I, unfortunately, did not have time for. His staff was also very helpful and assisted me in ordering food 24/7. The place is in a good location close to the Egyptian Museum. It can be a little hard to find if you don't know what you are looking for, so I suggest being picked up by Muhammed or another staff member if possible. There is a big red sign outside, so if you come back at night you should be able to find it that way. The neighborhood also feels safe to walk around at night. Thank you Muhammed and others!

I recommend this place very, very highly. It's about as peaceful as it gets in the area, as Giza is a noisy city and here is on the edge of the desert and a nice village. It's a comfortable room with a nice balcony. There are views of the pyramids from the sunny roof. I had my best breakfasts and dinner in my two months in Egypt here. But the most important thing is that Mohammad really, really went out of his way to meet my needs, which are many. He knows a great deal about the sites and I felt really comfortable with him. He lived in Holland for 10 years and is very smart and easy going. But most uniquely, he has local relationships that allow him to take you to places that are not open to the public. Absolutely incredible horse ride in the desert. A real highlight of my trip. Just note that if you, like me, are used to being independent, you need to know that here you will be quite dependent on him for everything. There are not many shops or restaurants around and it's not easy to find the place on your own. But Mohammad is willing and able to get you everything you need. Just needs some mosquito spray for the room but I"m sure he can deal with that. Awesome place!

Great spot! Absolutely worth the stay!

A great and delightful place to discover Cairo in the best way.

The apartment is more a part of a little hotel managed by Said. It is taken care of everything necessary. Breakfast is also included. I really recommend this place.

Amazing value for money and also extremely helpful with any inquiries you have. Extremely kind to us and an amazing spot right in the middle of a main shopping strip. Ahmad and mostafa are extremely helpful and are the kindest people at sufi house! :)

Lovely place, great for exploring Cairo

Sentí que no era la habitación que había reservado por no coincidir con la dirección que me proporcionó airbnb, y tuve que esperar demasiado para la entrega de la habitación y a pesar de que estaba todo limpio las sábanas estaban bastante húmedas aún en la entrega tuve que ponerlas a secar en el baño.

Enjoyed the place. Was very clean and the staff was very kind and helpful. Would stay here again.
