Ahmed, Ala and Sara did answered all our question. The property itself can do with updating but not desperately. One not so great thing was breakfast.

"The hotel, hotel room, and amenities are beautiful. The staff was friendly and helpful. We loved the couples massage that I had scheduled before our arrival. However, I had also reached out a month or two months in advance and asked them to decorate the room for our five-year anniversary, but they didn’t. Before spending a few nights in Cairo we stayed at the Hilton Resort and Spa in Luxor, and they set the bar high with swans made out of towels, hearts on the bed, and even gave us a heart-shaped cake for free. At Sofitel, we didn’t get anything and that was disappointing."
