Hotel Le Meridien Pyramids

Many things were already said about this hotel (most of the match Sunday .), so we summary: per :-a very nice and new pool area with two large freshwater pools (1 pool brand after reconstruction, in the spring of 2011 only finished!). Also a kids pool area.-you always got a beach chair and an umbrella by the pool (all free).-quiet and very nice ambience throughout the property. Only a few guests.-view from the pool and partly the rooms directly to the Giza pyramids! We had a room on the top floor of the new cultivation with a pyramid view from the balcony-it was great!The dinner and breakfast was very good. No hint... very friendly service (front desk, concierge, etc.). location to visit the pyramids very good! The pyramids are within walking distance.-new or converted part building. Now completely ready. cons :-location is a bit off for other attractions in Cairo, that is always needed a taxi (but very cheap). Tip: taxis not order at the reception, but either even at the roundabout in front of the hotel one stop (be careful, drivers may not always English!) or directly by the hotel-congierge of order (the concierge give a tip...). It was cheaper and better than at the reception!-The air conditioner in the entire area fell partly from. And the August... Puhh!-Was a noisy street in front of the hotel hear it (only by the pool, not in the rooms). Tips/comments :-top trip to the pyramids from the hotel with a taxi: Taxi as described above to organise (including where appropriate a day before booking). Pyramids-trip should be no more than 150.-le cost (about 3-4 hours duration). The taxi driver drove a ticket to the fair (only tickets possible, no reservations possible). After the ticket he drove with the taxi to the (very large!) pyramids area to anywhere you want to go, for example to Giza-pyramids, the sphinx, the lookout for all three pyramids, to the pyramids, etc.! it where you want and wait for one to one, for example, the Giza-pyramids inside besichtgt. It works to 100% and is a very pleasant/comfortable way the pyramids (especially in the heat) to visit-a kind of private trip! The cab driver should be paid only after the trip (maximum 50% before only when it wants to! before).-for the Cheops-Pyramid are just 300 per day tickets for the inside visit issued! So in the morning at 09:00 A.M. hurry! The pyramid mittlgroße (= Chefren) has no ticket for inside. The survey included all pyramids Sphinx is always possible.-If you want to use the taxi longer, so combinations are possible (for example, there is still drive to downtown Cairo or back to the airport). So it cost, for example, a taxi for the day with good bargain. 300-350 about.-(per taxi) le. As I said, the hotel concierge willing to help with the taxi for baksheesh (= tip) and good!Location-within walking distance to the pyramids is not recommended! See the following point...-the pyramid schemes and on the way there are very many cameleer and kids on the way all baksheesh want or what to sell (guides, tourist stuff, camel rides, etc.) .very annoying! but always nicely cool and say ' no!-evenings at the pyramids also light-shows. If you like it...--in the holy month of fasting Ramadan all attractions about 1-2 hours earlier!-we had for. 350-le a comprehensive taxi trip made as follows: pyramids and Sphinx/second first back to the hotel (shower, check-out, etc.)/ third/fourth Citadel Egyptian Museum and mosque Mohammed Ali/Khan El-khalili bazaar for the fifth or sixth back to Cairo-Airport. A very great but good solid taxi trip! on the side next to the hotel (with the noisy Street) was a small supermarket where you can buy cheap drinks, etc.. But be careful, some annoying guy who wants a of the streets in his shop tow...-total is for such an individual Cairo trip (with taxi, private domestic flight, etc.) may be a little adventurousness necessary. But if you book this with a very impressive dares, quite cheap and a little comfortable Cairo-experience (as private taxi) to the rewards you will remember for a long time and well.
