Bedouin Pyramids View is located in the Giza district of Cairo, 2.9 km from Great Sphinx, 4 km from Giza Pyramids and 13 km from Cairo Tower. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The guest house provides city views, a terrace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property.

This is probably the best hotel in Giza area, from what I read in reviews for other hotels. The room is really quiet, which is a rarity for Giza hotels, we were never disturbed by noise, even from mosques (and I am sensitive to noise) - we could hear the prayer but pretty quiet. I think it really helps that hotel is high up, on 13th floor of a residential building, to get away from the street noise, which never stops in Giza, in the room you don't hear anything. The bed was comfortable, and breakfast was really good. It's in Egyptian style, falafel and other delicious foods, Egyptian / Turkish style coffee (I'm not a big fan of it, but at least it's not Nescafe!), no meat though by default. There were no bad smells in the room. But the best part is hospitality of Yousef and his brother, the hotel owners. If they could do anything to help us, they did it. For example, we wanted breakfast earlier than they usually do it in order to have it before tour starts - just asked them, done. I wanted meat for breakfast - asked them, done, they bought some chicken and sausages for me. Need more water or for them to buy something from the market - easy. If you need anything, don't be shy, just ask them. Kitchen is outside the rooms, in common area, you can cook something yourself if you want. The hotel is in residential area with plenty of shops surrounding it, so for instance fruits market is 50 meters away, there are bread shops, shisha, coffee shops etc etc - very convenient, especially considering there is no noise from them in the room! Also it's close to the Pyramids and there is a great view of the Pyramids from terrace upstairs and from my room (not all rooms have it though). View of Cairo from 13th floor (one of tallest buildings in the area) is also fascinating. It's not beautiful, but fascinating.

À la carte and continental breakfast options with local specialities, fruits and juice are available daily at the guest house. At Pyramids top success result, the traditional restaurant is open for dinner, lunch and brunch and serves African cuisine.

The owner Mahmoud is a cosmopolitan optimistic and helpful man who speaks perfect English and knows everything you would ever need to know about Cairo and Egypt. Truly helpful and kind. The manager Esra, and other workers I met, Dua, Yusuf, Machmood, and Nusa are also incredibly helpful, easy-going and all around great people. Esra is also the very best guide to the pyramids that there is! Before booking with anyone else I recommend checking to see if she's available. I loved the beds, the room, the view, the cleanliness, comfort and style and they even have an incredibly affordable and delicious cafe right on the roof! I liked this hotel so much that I extended my stay beyond my original plans. If you're reading this and looking for a place within a two minute walk of the pyramids and in this price range, you're pretty lucky, because you won't need to continue searching. This is definitely the right place!

    The apartment is way more spacious than it looks in the photos, doc Amro is an amazing host and went above and beyond to make sure we had an excellent time. The compound has a nice restaurant and good swimming pool. It's a bit outside the city centre but uber is cheap so that balances out. Me and my family couldn't be happier with our experience in this accommodation.

    Great location for the pyramids - next to the ticket office for the sphinx entrance and fantastic views from the terrace - probably one of the nearest hotels to the site. Friendly and helpful staff - they helped me book a cheap taxi into town after Uber let me down so really appreciated. Hotel is clean and my room was pretty quiet.

    The guesthouse is not for those looking for luxury, but it offers comfortable accommodation. The area is quiet, which mattered the most to us. There is air conditioning in the room, but for us there was no need to turn it on. The view from the rooftop is extraordinary. The host was very attentive with us. He organized the pickup from the airport, prepared breakfast and dinner at the hours we wanted. The prepared meals were delicious.
