'Pyramids Dream Come True'. A great location for both Golfing Enthusiasts and those seeking to take in the culture Cairo has to offer. The apartment is located just a 5 minute walk from the18 hole Mena House Golf Course, the oldest and best known course in Egypt. It is also just 10 minutes from the Great Pyramid, the last surviving Wonder of The Ancient World and 8 minutes walk from the new Great Egyptian Museum, due to open in 2010. This suburb of Cairo offers peaceful surroundings with beautiful viewsand is within very close proximity to major five star hotels such as the Movenpick and Sofitel where you can book in as a day guest and use the swimming pools if you fancy a dip!

The fully furnished, attractive apartment benefits from a spacious balcony to enjoy the magnificent views of the Pyramids and is large enough to dine on while watching the Pyramids Sound and Light show in the evenings. With one double and one twin bedroom, (both air conditioned) the apartment is ideal for couples, families,or friends. There is plenty in the surrounding areas to see and do.

The North Egypt / Cairo / Cairo region

The apartment is located in Giza, a suburb of Cairo. Giza is famous for the Pyramids and Sphinx but there are a multitude of other things to see and do in the wonderful city of Cairo such as visit the bustling Khan El-Khalili Market, the Citadel, Mosques such as the Mohammed Ali and Al Ahzar, and Coptic Cairo. El Azhar Park, which is a beautifully landscaped park,a favourite with tourists, is also nearby. You will literally be spoiled for choice!

Annual High / Low Daytime Temperatures in Cairo: 34°C / 18°C (93°F / 64°F)
Average Daily January Temperature in Cairo : 18ºC / 64ºF
Average Daily June Temperature in Cairo: 34ºC / 93ºF

The Giza / Pyramids at Giza area

You can relax in Giza yet still have easy access to the main attractions, such as the Pyramids and Sphinx. The Step Pyramids at Sakkara & Memphis are just a short car ride away. A driver is available for tours in a modern air conditioned car or, if you would prefer to experience the public transport system, there is both a Metro station, linking many other areas of this great city, and a mainline station to take you further afield. (http://www.johomaps.com/af/egypt/cairo/cairometro_bil.html),

You can visit the Egyptian Museum in Central Cairo where many Pharonic artefacts are on show. The new Cairo Museum, due to open in 2010, is within 8 minutes walking distance of the apartment. The Pharonic Village is a wonderful place to visit, especially for children. The Citadel, which housed Egyptian rulers for some 700 years is also a spectacular sight.

You cannot visit Cairo without a trip to the famous 14th century Khan El-Khalili Bazaar. Brush up on your haggling skills and get a real bargain or why not experience a trip on the River Nile in a felucca. So romantic!

If you plan to travel further afield, Fayoum Oasis, which is of great cultural interest being the area where the Mummy Paintings were first discovered, is within close proximity to Giza being just 40 minutes by car. Alexandria, an ancient and enigmatic city is a 3 hour drive or just over 2 hours by express train from nearby Giza Railway Station. Don't forget to sample the fish there!! There is so much to see and do in Cairo itself however, you may just not find the time!

The airlines I would recommend primarily for flights are British Airways or Egypt Air for direct flights and Dial a Flight for indirect flights.All offer reasonably priced flights, even during peak season and have special offers during off peak season which make the journey even more appealing.

The apartment is easily accessible from Cairo airport being only a 25 minute drive away. En route from the airport, you can see some of the beautiful sights Cairo has to offer and begin to soak in the atmosphere of this fabulous city.

Airport pick-up can be arranged, Arrangements can also be made for tours of the historical sites with a knowledgeable driver who speaks Arabic and is fluent in English and French. Charges are extremely reasonable and ensure maximum comfort for your travels around Cairo.

“Great Experience at the Pyramids Dream Come True Apartment” I thoroughly enjoyed Egypt and the flat! The flat is beautiful, and the views were incredible. Rochelle, the owner, made everything easy for me. I'm usually not so scatterbrained, but I was completely disorganized and flustered this trip. Thanks, though, to Rochelle and Mohmed, everything from internet to phones to sight-seeing and driver service was made effortless and painless. Hopefully, I'll be able to return soon and in a more organized fashion!

“To sit on the balcony and see the 3 pyramids is really a dream come true” The apartment is comfortable, cool and well equiped. Away from the madness of downtown Cairo this apartment is truly a treasure. For anyone concerned about self catering, the jewel in the crown is Mohammed who will see to your evey need. For those like me who prefer the privacy of an apartment I would say don't hesitate. This place is great.
