Nassimah Lodge — Hotel in Giza

A hidden gem in Cairo in a distant place; away from the hustle and bustle.

Nassimah lodge is named after the grandmother of the owner . The owner makes the entire stay of the guests personal and wonderful; makes it feel like home, from the moment you step through that beautiful turquoise door.

The place has like 5 lodges, all furnished in an authentic taste and the magical mattress puts you to sleep effortlessly. Opening the balcony to the wonderful view of greenery and the sounds of our furry friends 🐶 filling the place. The place offeres amazing food! You must try! Their grilled chicken is WOW! And the rice and molo5eya as well. The freshest gargeer I have ever had is from their mini-farm which you can check out yourself.

Enjoy the simple life and the calming energy that this place brings to your soul.

Highly recommended for relaxation, retreats or even if you are looking for a place to stay in Sakkara near the Djoser pyramid, red pyramid and black pyramid.

Additional tip: it might be tricky to reach the place, but the owner sends you a a pin and when you get closer you have to ask for (el me3adeya), like a small bridge that takes you to...

Off the beaten path..

A place where time stands still, and speaks of authenticity..

Of past times and the waves of nostalgia that came along upon entering the main gate.

Natural living, country-side feel..

Ideal break from concrete jungles and metropolitan overwhelm, without the far-away distance making it ideal for weekends..

Thoughtful gestures of hospitality; an eye for art, beauty and simplicity; a well-travelled local as a go-to guess..

Perfect spot for: Wellness: retreats, yoga, meditation, healing, and contemplation.

Team building events and activities; think I should give HR a phonecall..

Family and friends gatherings and private hangouts for quality time away from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind in a tech-jungle.

Personal favorite: Sitting under the palm trees in the garden, listening to the chirping sounds of crickets as the stresses of the day melt away.

Bonus point: Exquisitely delicious homemade Egyptian local dishes.

Careful with those fingertips!!

Almost...

Home away from home. Expect a place that gives you a natural high and simultaneously grounding you. Nadia's taste in everything and her friendliness and make this visit a unique experience. She goes out of her way to help her guests both with comfort and joy within her space and also to arrange tours and transportation for them. She speaks Arabic, English and French which I noticed makes guests' life much easier! Not my first visit and definitely not my last.

Oh, and her pets, how...
