Excellent hotel. The room was nice and clean. Mahmoud, the hotel owner, was very kind. He bought me a sim card and helped me get a better deal for the Bahariya desert tour(i could save 20 dollars. 110-90). He also drove me to ATM when I needed to withdraw egyptian pounds. Free luggage storage and late check in was generous. Overall, I am very satisfied with the hotel, and recommend going here. Below are some things that I wish other tourists know.
(1) airport cab He calls a cab to the airport on request. It's 10 USD. You can, of course, get a cab with Uber or in drive with only 5 dollars. But wifi doesn't work in the airport, and the sim card needs some time to activate. You might have to pay 25 dollars if you try to negotiate. Other hotels offer a ride in 20 dollars(absurd). His deals are usually better.
(2) room I booked a single room and the bed was big enough for 2 people. The room was clean. The AC is working well. Free laundry machine and kitchen were awesome. Bathroom is shared. No shampoo. One drawback is indoor smoking. There was a smoking place right in front of my room and the smoke would come into my room. The electricity sometimes gets out, but it's not the problem of the hotel. I heard that the government shuts down electricity for like an hour a day for some reason.
(3) booking tour I booked two tours through the hotel. One, Bahariya desert tour. It was perfect. His offer was cheaper than any other. I had a brilliant experience. Second, private Giza Sakarra Memphis tour. It cost 40 USD per car. It was so-so. The bright side was that I could go to papyrus or carpet places and have new experience besides seeing the pyramids. The downside was that you cannot expect getting egpytian price staying with the driver and you cannot believe him. The driver took some commission fee. On giza pyramids, he said 15 dollars is a very good egyptian price for a camal ride. I was asked to give the money to the shop owner, who is his friend, not the camal owner or anyone. The next day I was helping my friend get a camal and I could do that in 9 dollars, which should be still overpriced. I don't believe that a beteran driver like him wouldn't know the real price. I asked the driver if he could help me buy a cheap hat. He took me to a shop with a 700 pounds hat. I said I want a super cheap one, even second-hand is okay, and we went to another shop with 500 pounds hat. He said that this is the best deal he can make. I bought that but the next day I saw the same hat sold in markets in only 50 pounds. Plus, he is just a driver, not a tour guide. You can hire a driver for a day with 25 dollars if you transact directly. Other hotels ask 60 dollars(with a tourguide-not...
Read moreMy Unforgettable Stay at Louay Pyramids View – A Hidden Gem Near the Pyramids
As a frequent traveler and someone who’s always chasing authentic experiences, I can honestly say that Louay Pyramids View offered something truly special—something far beyond just a place to sleep.
From the very first moment I arrived, it was clear that this wasn’t your average stay. Yes, the view of the Great Pyramids was absolutely breathtaking (and worth every second), but what really made this place unforgettable was the genuine hospitality and warmth I received from the staff—especially Mr. Mahmoud.
Mahmoud welcomed me with a kind smile and calm energy that instantly put me at ease. He handled the check-in with a level of professionalism and sincerity that you rarely see. Every step was clear, smooth, and respectful. What stood out most was his honesty, grace, and attention to detail—it wasn’t just service; it was care.
My room? Impeccably clean. Everything was in place, fresh, and thoughtfully arranged. The space felt peaceful, safe, and surprisingly stylish—minimal yet elegant, perfectly reflecting the spirit of the location.
What really moved me, though, was the sense of belonging I felt. At no point did I feel like a “guest.” I felt like family. It’s the small things—like the way Mahmoud remembered details, offered help without being intrusive, and made sure I had everything I needed—that truly left an impression.
For anyone visiting Cairo and wanting more than just a hotel—something warm, human, and real—I can’t recommend Louay Pyramids View enough. Whether you’re here for the sights or just a peaceful retreat, this is the kind of place that reminds you why travel matters.
Thank you from the heart. I’ll...
Read moreThe place to stay in Giza!
In every way, this place excels. The rooms are comfortable and cozy, and the view of the Pyramids is unbeatable — every morning I woke up, opened my window, and stared in awe. (Check my photos — they’re real)
The location is perfect — less than a 10-minute walk to the Sphinx and Great Pyramids, so you can be among the first inside before the crowds.
The breakfasts are delicious, and there’s a fantastic, authentic, affordable restaurant just nearby too El Gizawy restaurant - Nazlet El Seman.
But what truly makes this place magical is the staff. Manal and Mahmoud are genuine, kind, welcoming, and always eager to help. One evening, I even spent time chatting on the terrace with Manal’s husband it felt just like being with good friends.
Truly the best place to...
