    That place is gorgeous. We ate lunch there when we were in Egypt back in February 2023. We went there for lunch after visiting the pyramids. We were actually staying at the Four Seasons in Cairo. Had a beautiful room over looking the Nile which was an amazing sight at night.

    I stayed in this hotel 3 years ago when I visited Egypt and LOVED it! The BEST views of the Pyramids from our Hotel Balcony - almost exactly where you stayed. It's an incomparable experience! The old, original part of the Hotel in under renovation and will make the new wings even better when they are all united. I want to visit again.

    My neck of the woods. I live by the golf course (which you didn't show) and have the same view of the Great Pyramid from my bedroom balcony. When there's a sandstorm, or it's foggy in the morning, one can't see the pyramids at all, even this close.
    Yes, it was 42C last week - we usually have a heatwave before summer - not the weather for your energetic day.

    I know some are saying it's overpriced, but I think it is worth the money. If you consider the size of your 2 rooms, the free food and drinks if you want it (you could as you said not have to pay for food and drink at all with access to that lounge) that alone would save you money. Also, the service is good, that was kind of the waiter in the lounge to bring you that big fruit platter. It's a once in a lifetime experience to stay somewhere where you can see the pyramids and also walk to it, thus saving on transport there, all in all, good value for money in my opinion.

    The pyramids are lit up sometimes. Like on the weekends when they do the Giza Pyramids Sound and Light Show. The show is a 50-minute multimedia show that takes place in front of the Great Pyramid. The show features Egyptian pharaohs narrating their stories, laser image projections, music, and spotlights on the pyramids and Sphinx. The show is available in 10 languages, including English, Arabic, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Japanese, and Polish. Headsets are available to translate the story into your preferred language.

    I visited the pyramids over a decade ago, but it was summertime. My god, the heat was unreal. I took a couple of steps inside the pyramid, felt like I was being cremated, and I turned around and walked right back out. The sweat was appearing through the outside of my baseball cap. Pyramids size was amazing, though, and to think they're nearly 5000 years old.

    Thing is that in peak season this second room (now furnished as a living room) can be easily converted into a totally seperate room. They simply close the interconnecting door, throw out the dining room set, move the couch over there, and get a bed in this space. That is also why that "suite" came with two identical bathrooms (and two minibars!).

    • @perolden
      @perolden 6 месяцев назад +3

      NO, that room does not have a hotel room number, so if they do, they will have to change all the emergency exit maps, so I doubt it.

    @user-mp5ww2bt7q 6 месяцев назад +3

    Hi Tim.
    The reason the bed and living room are identical because they originally were 2 connecting rooms, where they simply changed the furniture in one room, to make it a living room.
    Hence the 2 separate balconies, 2 safes and near identical bathrooms.
    Superior rooms and suites, always have access to the executive lounge.
    Memberships is normally a point earning system, giving u options for free nights and a membership once “high” enough can mean free upgrades depending on availability.
    Suites made to be a suite has normally a powder room, one entrance, one safe and one big balcony, but either way, the extra space is always nice to have and you deserve it!
    Thanks for yet another great video!

    I lived in Cairo for a while. My sister went there and never came back for fifteen years and married an Egyptian who became very rich. I was lucky to stay in most posh hotels and houses. At one point he had the whole of the pyramid site cleared and closed so me and my sister could have a "private viewing". He did this Cairo Museum as well! I was lucky enough to see many things that no one ever saw including artifacts from King Tut and a visit to the presidential palace where we met Anwar El Sadat!
    One funny story was that in those days you could just clamber up a pyramid to which my sister did and promptly got stuck right at the top of one. In the end the Egyptian Army had to be called out with helicopter to rescue her. It cost my brother-in-Law a small fortune and a fine. Cairo is a fantastic city, even more so if you get off the touristy bits. Also Egyptians are all friendly and welcoming.

    Tim, you are such a fortunate man to be able to travel the world and see sights that others have longed to see. (The pyramids, one of my bucket list places to see), but also, you get to come home to a really cool wife, who happens to be a self sufficient, on-top-of-things person. I don’t know if you always appreciate her enough.
    She is organised and efficient, yet doesn’t try to boss you about, even when she knows it could be done better!
