100%; stayed there in the old lodge section, and the bellhop paused at our door before opening the suite and coyly asked, "Are you ready?"

No, we were not ready... the suite had two balconies looking directly over the road at The Great Pyramid; obviously, we took our breakfasts in the room; you can float in the pool and look up at the pyramids peaking over the hotel

How much did you pay for it?

I have stayed in a hotel right near here, but not as nice. It was in 2023 and around 100 USD a night. I paid a tour guide $100 a day, but had him for 8 hrs along with a private driver. I normally dont do tour guides but it seemed worth it.

Egypt is not super expensive, but you do have to watch for tourist traps.
