MENA HOUSE WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! WE HAD AN AWESOME VIEW OF THE PYRAMIDS FROM OUR ROOM. IT WAS SO SURREAL TO WAKE UP AND LOOK OUT THE WINDOW AND SAY, "OH, THERE ARE THE PYRAMIDS!" SERVICE AND FOOD WAS EXCELLENT. WE ENJOYED EVERY MOMENT THERE.

We had to make our own arrangements to arrive in Cairo to meet our OAT group. That is an experience in itself. After a long, expensive cab ride we arrived. The desk staff was very friendly, knew we were expected and showed us to our room promptly. It was in the newer section, no pyramid view. Did I mention that our luggage did not arrive with ...
