Mamlouk Pyramids Hotel

Why stay here

• One of the closest to the SphinxThe hotel is on the street that leads to the Sphinx in Nazlet el-Samman, about 450 m from the monument. Location scores 9.4. It has 8.6 on Booking.com from 792 reviews (checked 12 Oct 2026).
• A pool by the pyramidsIt has an outdoor pool, which none of the small inns of Nazlet el-Samman in this guide list. After a hot morning on the plateau, that can matter, especially with children.
• Pyramid views from the suitesTwo suite types come with a balcony and a panoramic view of the pyramids, and the superior double has a partial view. There is also a terrace, a restaurant and a buffet breakfast.
• Easier for families with small childrenCots are free for children up to 3, and extra beds are available: US$15 a night for ages 6 to 11 and US$25 from 12 when we checked. Many small hotels nearby have neither. Staff speak Arabic, English, German and Spanish, according to the listing.

Good to know before you book

• Wi-Fi scores 6.3Free Wi-Fi scores 6.3, the lowest Wi-Fi score of the Cairo and Giza hotels we compared. Plan on a local SIM or an eSIM if you need to work or make calls.
• Lower scores for a higher priceAt around €84 a night for two in mid-January 2027 when we checked, on a pay-at-the-hotel rate with breakfast and free cancellation, it costs nearly twice as much as Life Pyramids Inn (9.4) or Sidi Hamad (9.3). Value for money scores 8.5 and facilities 8.4. Prices change, so check your own dates.
• Cash, and an adult must check inPayment at the property is listed as cash. The person who checks in must be at least 18. Children from 12 pay as adults. Pets are not allowed.
• Book the view by nameThe cheapest double faces the city, not the pyramids. If the view is the reason for staying here, book the superior double or one of the suites with a pyramids view.

Rooms

The economy double with city view is the budget choice if you only need a bed between sightseeing days. The superior double with balcony and partial pyramids view is the middle option for couples. For the full view, book the standard suite or the deluxe suite, both with a balcony and a panoramic view of the pyramids; there is also a plain suite without a view promised.

For three, the economy triple is the simplest answer. Families with younger children can add a free cot (up to 3) or a paid extra bed, which gives this hotel more flexibility than most of its neighbours. Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00.

Getting there and around

From Cairo International Airport

The airport is on the far side of the city, roughly 40 km away. By car, plan on about 45 minutes off-peak and 90 minutes or more at rush hour. The hotel lists a paid airport transfer, and has free private parking. See Cairo airport to your hotel.

From Sphinx International Airport

Sphinx airport is on the desert road west of Giza, usually a shorter drive than Cairo International. Arrange a transfer or check that a ride app shows cars before you land.

To the sights

The Sphinx is about 450 m away, and the sound and light show is in front of it. For plateau tickets and the buses, the main entrance is the visitor centre on the Cairo–Fayoum road, a short taxi ride. The Grand Egyptian Museum is about 2 km from the pyramids. See visiting the Pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum.

How it compares

Mamlouk against the best-rated budget inn near the Sphinx and two mid-range hotels at a similar price. The pool and the cots are what set it apart; the Wi-Fi and value scores are where it falls behind.

Price for 2 adults, 12–15 January 2027, as shown on Booking.com on 12 Oct 2026.
