El Gezira Hotel

Very nice location near the Nile with a nice Nile view from the restaurant on the top. The hotel is located at the western side of the Nile and therefore we had to pay a lot for a taxi driver. It would have been much easier and cheaper to take the ferryboat for only about 2 Egyptian pounds or a boat for about 40 pounds. The staff are very nice and the breakfast was quite rich. The size of the room is about right. The hotel has a nice restaurant. The hotel arranged for us a taxi for a full day to visit the king’s valley and the driver was very reliable. Please don’t expect a 5 star hotel but rather a family atmosphere which we liked very much. Many thanks to hotel staff specially Mr. Rakan, the manager.
