KING HOTEL — Hotel in Giza

I used their free airport shuttle upon arrival very safe and reliable (only offered one way). Close to a metro station (tho i choose to use ubers like cad $2-5 wherever u need to go in downtown since the hotel is in dokki, giza). Looks like some floors are going thru renovations.

I suppose rooftop cocktails and Cairo don't necessarily go hand-in-hand, but I would expect the basics!

The staff, however, were very kind and genuine.
