Peace House - Sakkara resort

The staff are outstanding. Very little English knowledge for which they make up with their kindness and attention. The whole place has 10 rooms maximum, with a large shared courtyard. Stunning views from the top terrace. Facilities are very basic, but kept clean. Comfy beds and cozy rooms. For the rates you pay, I'd say its a gem. The hosts will make sure you have a great stay. Our experience: we arrived around 2 am and they've stayed up to let us in and made sure we have everything we needed. One of our rooms was booked for check-in the following day, but was made available to us early in the morning. Everyday we were served lovely Egyptian breakfast at a time convenient to us (literally any time, we just had to let them know half an hour in advance). Breakfast served in the courtyard, traditional sitting. If luxury is your non-negotiable, then this place isnt for you. If you appreciate culture and authenticity at a very reasonable place, then this is your spot. Overall, I truly enjoyed my stay and am happy with choice of accommodation for the trip. P.s. I would not rely on wifi, but had no issues getting an Uber from and to the premises using my data.

Such a peaceful place! I loved the quiet atmosphere and how hospitable the staff were. The hotel was super clean, the traditional Egyptian breakfast was delicious, and the Turkish coffee was lovely. A perfect place to relax and unwind!

TRAVELER MUST! This space was a blessing after having very hectic and noisy experiences in Cairo. I enjoy being a short distance from the city and in more ancient, rural space. Large expensive villas surround this area as well. This space was calming and I loved the view and closeness of the Sun Temple and being a short drive from Saqqara. Sun bathing on the roof and tea in the evenings is essential! As a digital nomad, I also had over a dozen seating areas to work with excellent wifi. The room itself was simple, had everything I needed and lots of hot water. Imad, the staff during my stay, was a lovely and kind man bringing me tea at any moments notice. I would love to be back here as a solo traveler and also will bring friends here for an excellent experience on my next trip!

Travelers: Mosquitos/gnats can be a challenge in Egypt, so regardless of where you stay, I recommend a mosquito candle or spray that makes any day more comfortable. Of course, this is not a fault of the host or the property, but rather I am sharing some advice.
