A MUST visit! This is an absolutely magical place where you can see all of Cairo. Absolutely wonderful. The tickets are expensive though and could get really pricey if you have a DSLR or a mirrorless camera. But Cell phones are of course free of charge.

The ticket is 200 EGP, and they convince you to get another ticket for 100 EGP that would get you there faster and it would go towards drinks from the coffee shop. Do not under any circumstance buy the 10 EGP telescope access, it is not worth it as they are old and not working properly (also not sanitized)

They offer services which we keep refusing, one of them was photography, but when I looked at the photography portfolio of photographer Yahiya I thought they were promising and asked him to take pictures of me and my husband. The pictures were 50 EGP per picture and an additional 10EGP for a digital copy. We collected them at the end of our visit and they were really phenomenal. As a professional photographer, I can attest to the quality of these pictures and nice edits. Beware that they print their logo on the pictures which is an absolute shame given the fact that we paid for them, but we have the originals (which were shot in JPEG not RAW) and I can work with these although it is not really great since they were not RAW.

I am taking a star off for the coffee service, we waited for 20 minutes and no waiter came to see us. We then ordered some pastries to go and that was slow too.

Another star off because of the crowding in elevator (especially during COVID)- They take about 8 people in the elevator, really small space you are brushing up against everyone else. We were a company of three and with the elevator person it was 4 and that should have been enough to take us up but they had to wait until the elevator was full with three additional people on the way up and 4 additional people on the way down. This was uncomfortable.

Not everyone in the elevator was wearing a mask although they were asked to wear one. I would really ask management to consider their elevator policy during COVID and the recent Omicron surge. Or to ask people to provide proof of vaccination before they go up to the elevator.
