"Staying at Desert Moon Hotel was an unforgettable experience! The breathtaking views of the ancient wonders combined with the warm hospitality and luxurious amenities made my visit truly remarkable. I was captivated by the stunning vistas of the Pyramids right from my room. The hotel's blend of modern comfort and Egyptian charm created a perfect oasis in the desert. The staff's hospitality was exemplary, ensuring every aspect of my stay was delightful. I highly recommend Desert Moon Hotel to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the shadow of the Pyramids. I can't wait to return and create more cherished memories at this exceptional hotel!.

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.

Avoid this hotel! Very disappointing stay. Inconvenient location, rooftop overlooks a noisy highway so it doesn’t feel relaxing. The worst part of my experience was my room - it wasn’t cleaned from the previous guest. I left the property about 2 hours after checking in.

Property is on a sand road. Very old building. The power come and goes and it takes hours. Only 1 person on duty. Very loud place and cleanliness was horrible. Dusty floors and mold on tires on the shower.

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.

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.

Room with a view and little else

The only redeeming feature is the roof where there is a great view of the pyramids. The roads around are unpaved and rough and i wouldn't walk out at night (or day). This meant a taxi and Mohammed organized everything at a price. It also meant eating at their restaurant on the roof. Food was poor and greatly overpriced. Surprizingly the breakfast was good. Room was clean but the shower struggled to work at times and the mattress was a thin foam attempt at a mattress which gave me backache. All in all not the best of places to stay.

Disappointing

My new wife and I booked to stay at Desert Moon months ago for our honeymoon. It was advertised to us as a great location for quiet as it is away from the city but soon realised it was safer to be in downtown Cairo where transport & services are easily accessible. Just before arriving we noticed the reviews on Google had deteriorated since we initially booked. As we got there, the scenery got progressively worse (pyramids however still in view). The location made us both feel unsafe. Following this there was nobody to welcome us upon arrival. Luckily we had a helpful driver with us who assisted us find someone to let us in but even so with a questionable elevator. We were eventually shown our room and sadly it had a horrible stench and cleanliness was below acceptable so we checked straight out. It’s a shame as the 2 young guys who worked at the hotel were lovely and trying their best to be accommodating.

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.

The staff of the properly are very nice and friendly. Because I don’t know Arabic it was hard to communicate but still they were very helpful. The hotel arranged me a very good private driver and tour guide. They were more like friends than just a tour guide. The tours are not cheap, I am from Canada so they were quite expensive, but I think it’s worth the money because they take good care of you taking you around. Otherwise for people who live in counties like Canada or America it might get very hard and overwhelming to navigate in Egypt because the culture and system is just sooo different. Overall I really enjoyed my time with my tour guide and the driver who made me feel very comfortable

No lo recomiendo

No existe un área del recepción de huéspedes (según por la pandemia), tuve que subir 5 pisos con la maleta por las escaleras porque solo los huéspedes pueden usar el elevador, no tiene indicaciones de dónde pu des hacer el check in. Además me hicieron pagar de nuevo en el lugar cuando yo ya había pagado directo con ustedes. No me sentía cómoda en el lugar
