Desert Moon

ARE YOU SERIOUS??? Is this REAL? I arrived late and was tired so I had to stay the night in this joke of a place. It was meant to be 2 nights but next morning, first thing (after free breakfast) I ran away!! Pros: Nice view from the roof. Homemade cakes n biscuits were nice. Friendly staff(more about staff in cons!!). Cons: Area is like a war zone: stray dogs, dirt roads with more potholes than all the roads in the world COMBINED!!! Feels unsafe Unprofessional staff: The guy met me in flip flops!!! And was eating pumpkin seeds or something...I mean...R U FOR REAL??? Rooms n place are NOT as you see in photos. Deceiving big time. The place needs a lick of paint and proper redecorating and cleaning. TV in main area(the roof) freezes every now and then, so watching a live champions league game was a nightmare. What is this place??? I didn't know wether to cry or laugh!! Never again.

Very nice hotel and staff was very nice I just didn't like where the hotel was located but I got a nice view to the Giza Pyramids

Mucho ruedo de circulation del traficote . A 10 métros de un autopista urbana

WiFi, clean accommodation and friendly staff.

The staff were excellent. Especially the woman serving breakfasts.

The owner and the staff were very kind, the food was delicious and the location which is close to the pirámides is a plus together with the view from the terrace . Recommended!

The owner is an incredibly kind man who will go out of his way to look after you if you get into any sort of situations in Egypt as a foreigner, which I found hugely reassuring. My only disappointment was the prices for amenities at the hotel. $275 NZD for a one hour massage for example. And the cost of food is very high; charging Fairmont prices while located in a nondescript location/very basic building. Also very difficult to obtain and sort of invoice for the charges. Other than this, I would absolutely recommend.

The staff were always pleasant and helpful, especiallyHani who went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable stay. The area around the hotel is very dirty with limited things to see or do. The restaurant at the hotel is way over-priced and the breakfast is mostly the same, limited selection. The value for what you are paying for, is just not in line with what you are getting unfortunately. You receive a beautiful view of the pyramids from the rooftop (or some bedrooms), with an amazing night ambiance. Overall, the place was comfortable and I would do another short stay again.

I encourage everyone to read my honest review: I've traveled to a few places around the world and I've been in many different hotels. If you come to Egypt expecting emaculate massive rooms with perfect streets and nightlife surrounding you, that is not the real Egypt. The reality is that Egypt is far from perfect. You must remember, this isn't the place that has all the luxuries that most of you likely have at home. But the people you meet and interact with and the things you see both tourist attractions and not is what makes you truly appreciate Egypt. With that, I'd like to bring my attention to Dr. Mohammed. He has a degree in Egyptology and is the owner of Desert Moon, along with his wife whom we unfortunately did not get to meet. From the moment we arrived at like 9a, he personally greeted us and apologized for the confusion around the cab driver. He immediately welcomed us to some breakfast and told me he wants to make our trip memorable. He is a very spiritual and loving man. He shared a wonderful story of love between him and his wife and explains how their goal is to share their love with each and every guest that arrives. He listened to everything we were interested in doing and made sure we hit every one of those points. He is very reasonable when it comes to prices and you can tell he wants you to truly experience the most of Egypt without feeling like you're spending far more than you need to.

Amazing property, they staff were super attentive, and made sure my birthday vacation went off w/o any hick-ups! :)
