The vacation was very pleasant and we can Egypt as destination only recommend. We were 2007 already once there, you can even small changes notice.

We decided to go to Egypt again after 10 years. Last time my son, now 14 years old got very sick from foodpoisoning and was treated in a hospital so we have therefor not gone back to Egypt since. This time it was a fantastic experience with a very valuable hotel. The food was great as well as the service. We will absolutely go back to this wellrun hotel again. Read more
