5 It was great experience in the african -- really nice people there
We have booked three nights in a double room en-suite with a cheap price for these kinds of en-suite rooms and our room was really big and nice decoration. We had a nice day tour to pyramids and saqqara with 20 euro (very cheap) in a private car with a/c and the driver was perfect english speaking. we had really nice time in african.
