Great place to stay in Giza

Very good place to stay for a few nights in Giza. Location is very good, you can walk to the pyramids and the Great Egyptian Museum is not very far by tuk-tuk or Uber. The views from the terrace are simply unbeatable and the street is very quiet by Cairo standards. Also, the optional breakfast is good value.

Gohar Guest House

The location overlooking the pyramids is fantastic and a short 10 minute walk to the entrance. The breakfast was excellent and a lovely taste of Egypt. Our host was very helpful and we could leave our luggage there on our final day to collect in the evening. The room and bathroom were clean and good and the kettle was well supplied with a variety of teas.

We stayed for 3 nights to see the pyramids and Cairo. Great place near pyramids with a great view, simple nice breakfast, clean, bottled water provided, AC and option of direct booking of transport with the owner from airport to the guesthouse. The owner was friendly and helped us with communication with our taxi driver to Hurghada

The hotel is clean and well-equipped, and offers free iced mineral water. The view from the top floor is quite good, and you can comfortably watch the pyramids at night, as well as enjoy the sunrise and the gorgeous light show. It is very comfortable to have breakfast during the day, and the owner is very friendly. It is a highly recommended hotel!

We highly recommend Gohar Guest House where we felt very much welcomed and looked after like family members. Rooms are spotless, beds are comfortable, breakfast is homemade and delicious. We enjoyed the simplicity of the place and most of all the heartfelt owner, Halim, whom we thank again for his hospitality. Last but not least the location, so close to the pyramids yet located in a secondary road so no noise at all at night! And that amazing view from the terrace where we took our daily breakfast.

This is a wonderful destination to stay in Cairo. The owner welcomes us at the airport. At his place he leads us to the top floor of his building, where we have two rooms, a dining room and a small kitchen and a big terrace with view of the Pyramids of Giza. This is also the place where breakfast is served every morning The owner is a very friendly and helpful man, well versed in English. He drives us to every place we wanted to see and also goes shopping with us. His house is within walking distance to the Pyramids. This quarter of Giza is very quiet and shops and other facilities are within walking distance. We recommend it in any case for travellers who do not want to stay in a luxury hotel and want to have private contacts.

Exceptional Stay at Gohar Guest House: Comfortable, Warm Hospitality and Stunning Pyramid Views! 🤩

I had an amazing stay at Gohar Guest House, Giza! From the moment I arrived, the Mr. Halim Gohar (Owner) was very welcoming and attentive, making the check-in process smooth and easy. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated with all the amenities I needed, including comfortable beds, AC and a well-equipped bathroom. I was also impressed with the hotel’s facilities which have free access to Wi-Fi , Tea Maker, Washing Machine, Iron and a Fridge filled with drinking water bottles for free. The location is perfect. From Roof top you can have breakfast and tea/coffee watching the Pyramids. Pyramid Visitor centre is just 600-700 metres walking distance from the hotel. The breakfast buffet offered a variety of local Egyptian delicious options. Mr. Halim Gohar personally takes care of everything. During your stay, you will encounter with Mr. Halim's nauthy daughter........the CAT 🐈 😅😅 Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I’ll definitely be staying here again on my next visit. Highly recommended to all!

Great Accommodation near Giza Pyramids

I spent New Year's Eve at Gohar Guesthouse with a nice view over the fireworks at the Pyramids. The guesthouse has a great terrace with direct view over the Pyramids. It is really great to sit there and just stare at them. You can enjoy breakfast every morning with the fantastic view over the Pyramids, Just amazing. Since the guesthouse is located in Giza, it is also very calm, and you can get a good night's rest. The rooms are spacious and clean. The beds are comfortable. For me, the right degree of hardness. Some of the rooms even have a view over the Pyramids. There is coffee and tea (black, mint, green, hibiscus) on every floor for you to enjoy. In the „kitchen area“, there is also a refrigerator. Halim, the owner, is really helpful and ensures that you feel at home. In a nutshell, it is a real great Egyptian guesthouse, run by a local host, with great value for money. Additional information: To Cairo (Egyptian Museum), it is 150 LE (50 LE = 1 Euro as of Dec 2024) with Uber. Which is really easy. You can spend the day in Cairo and profit from the calm nights at Giza. The Grand Egyptian Museum is just a few kilometers away, and an Uber costs ~50 LE: To the Pyramids, you can walk from the Guesthouse. There are also nice restaurants nearby.

Exactly as described and expected

The view is worth the rental on its own. Sitting on the balcony, sipping a drink, hearing the call to prayer and watching the sunset over the Great Pyramid is a one off

Top host. The location may be your only push-back

The host is so nice and friendly. The breakfast was delicious and buffet-like. There was unlimited water provided to us. Amenities were just fine. The view from the rooftop is amazing.

The apartment was clean and tidy, the breakfast was good with some local and oriental food by two really kind and always smiling girls. Halim was great host, he helped and guided us like a caring father. We went with him Dahsur-Sakkara full day trip and Great Pyramid full day trip for a resonable price. We are really appeiciated. Thank you very much for everything Halim! The Der family. An advice: If anybody wants a hassle free holiday "use" Halim.

Pyramids dream

Very good situated with a lovely view of the pyramid. Gohar, the owner, he was super kind and helpful all our stayed; he even drove us to know Saqara desert for a fair price. Breakfast was pretty nice and room very comfortable. We rent two extra nights with him! Thanks so much!
