I liked everything about this villa, I wish that I was able to stay there longer and explore the friendly people who live in this village, who all came across as genuine and caring

Fantastic stay in this hidden hotel-villa, set in the village of Sakkara, about 35 minute drive south of El Monib Metro Station in South Cairo. The accommodation is situated close by to the desert and ancient tombs as well as the horse riding stables including Habibi Horse Club. The accommodation itself is remarkably impressive and a good detachment from the city hotels. Mohammed is a great host who makes a satisfying Egyptian breakfast. He showed me how to order food from the restaurants nearby who delivered the food to the villa when I wanted lunch and dinner. My room had AC and a walk-in shower. I will happily stay again!

Mohammed gave us warm welcome and hospitality. The hotel is well located with a panoramique view from terrace, Step Pyramid of Djoser and the pyramids of Abusir are nearby. Mohammed proposed us a sunset horse riding towards the pyramids of Abusir, it was just amazing !!! The room was clean and the dinner, breakfast were delicious ! We booked a trip with Mohammed, he was so kind and helpful, he helped us setting up an itinerary within Sakkara and Memphis and gave us many good suggestions. The following day, his driver picked us up at the hotel, he was so kind and very good at the photography and helped us taking a lot of good pictures and videos then drove us to the airport safely 👍👍🙏Please transfer my big thanks to him! Thanks a lot Mohammed for making it all possible in a short period. We felt very good and very welcome at your house !!!👍👍🙏

A beautiful yellow house with a rooftop with view on the pyramids of abusir and saqqarah. The breakfast prepared by Samar is delicious Mohammed is the best man in the world. He did everything for us to feel at home. He finds drivers and tours from locals and always keep in touch during the tour in case something goes wrong. He is an amazing guy and has become one of my friends.

Good location and wonderful view. Perfect host, nice talking too.

Mohammed’s place is ideally situated to visit the sites around Saqqara and Memphis. Mohammed organised a local driver at a competitive price and it was far better than a tour out of Giza or Cairo. Having breakfast with rooftop views of the Step and Abu Sir pyramids is not to be missed, as are evening meals watching the sun set over the desert. Mohammed is a perfect host who is always willing to go that extra mile to enable you to enjoy your stay away from the noise and bustle of Cairo. Thanks Mohammed for all your hospitality. David

We had a wonderful stay at Sakkara Inn. Mohammed is a truly outstanding host. He arranged everything for us, including very accurate help with our damaged car. Thank you Mohammed for making us feel so welcome!

Location to food yet second night realized you can get great food delivered.

Muhamed is very very helpful and goes the extra mile to make sure all is ok. This applies to inside and out the guesthouse. He followed up to make sure I was ok while walking to get food and while seeing Pyramids in the area He keeps the place spotless. The yard and patio area are very nice and relaxing. Room was very clean and nicely outfitted. I spent another night beyond this booking.

The location is very quiet, surrounded by stables at the edge of the desert, which gives a fabulous view, but there is no nearby cafe’s. If you want to enjoy the ancient sites like I did you will not mind, and dinners were available.

Amazing view from of several pyramids from the roof patio with comfortable furniture and sun shade. I saw both sunsets over the deserts and sunrise next to a mosque. Good breakfast, very friendly host. Arranged a car without a hitch to view the top Saqqara Pryamids, older than those that are from Giza.

Nothing. All was good.

The property is beautiful and spacious. We have spent a great time in our lovely room. At the roof, we have a great view of the desert and pyramids. Lovely breakfast. It has been an amazing experience with Mohamed, as he was very helpful and present with us. He is fair and honest on any deal, either trips and food delivery. We highly recommend Sakkara inn if you would like to spend some time at Sakkara and visit the wonderful sites near. The driver Abdu was also helpful and gives us great information about Sakkara. Mohamed will organise everything for you at a decent price. Supermarket is not far from the Inn if you wanted to do some shopping.

My stay at Sakkara Inn was just perfect. The hotel is like a quiet oasis at the fringe of busy Abu Seer. The roof top terrasse is a very fine place to have breakfast looking towards the pyramids of Saqqara and Abu Seer. My room was comfortable and very clean. Mohammad is an exceptional host; he organised not only diner but also my trips to the sites of Saqqara and Gizah bringing me into contact with the very reliable driver Abdu (you really feel safe going with him!) and the lokal guide Mahmoud. I loved staying there - and slept very well.

Finding the location was a bit challenging at first, but with GPS on our phones and a phone call, we eventually managed to locate it without any major issues. The internet was weaker on the upper floor, but it worked without any problems on the second floor.

Absolute satisfaction from my side. The accommodation was in standard condition, just as I expected. What I can highlight is the amazing view from the rooftop overlooking the pyramids and the superb breakfast included in the price. However, what I must praise the most is the absolute willingness and communicativeness of the landlord Mohammed, who is incredibly friendly, helpful, and willing to assist in any way. He helped with purchases items for the journey, safely exchanged money at a favorable rate, communicated with the car rental company on our behalf when we had an issue, and even provided recommendations for desert trips. From this perspective, considering the price, location, communication, and assistance, highly recommended!

It was a bit hard to get to using google maps. We went through the nearby village but it was the wrong way. Didn't take that long though so no problem really.

Mohammed is a wonderful host. The bed was the most comfortable, the towels the most soft, the room the most stylish of all my stops in the whole of Egypt. This place is the most wonderful value in a home of a Gentleman and his family. Wonderful view from the the rooftop of the nearby Abu sir and far away the Step Pyramid of Saqqara. Beautiful horses in the nearby stables. A perfect location to explore the other pyramids of Egypt. I was given a delicious Egyptian Pigeon for my supper and the breakfast was wonderful too.

I had two mornings without water in the bathroom. That needs a fixing. It is not a dislike but just general advice. The village is not very small and like a labyrinth. The sakkara inn is not easy to find since it is in a little side street. So never leave without a GPS or google map. There is an ATM but a bit of a distance from the hotel. The hotel does not take card so make sure to have enough egyptian pound and american dollar. There is also not a lot of places to eat but Mohammed and his family could make you dinner.

Mohammed and his family are great hosts. He is extremely friendly and helpfull. I enjoyed his hospitality. He owns a beautifull hotell. The hotell is very close to both Sakkara and Dahshur. Both places are worth a visit. Dashur ls the best.

Stayed in January 2024

The hotel does not have Wifi, I had data so it wasn't a huge issue for me but it seems a fairly basic thing to be missing in 2024 and the place is not particularly remote etc. The nearby Mosque is very loud.

Clean room, great view of Abu Sir pyramids. Very convenient for visiting Dashur and Saqqara.

there should be more places like this in Egypt!

This hostel was a faboulous discovery. So well placed in between the pyramids!! If you go on the balcony you'll get an impressive view. The rooms are spacious and neat. Our fair host Mohammed gave me the best reception, helping me to find everything i could need. He was as well interesting in his talks and advices.

Mohammed is a fine host and will take care of you. Saqqara is a village outside Cairo, but it is very safe and has much to offer. Pleasant sunset views from the rooftop, excellent breakfast, and lots of fascinating things to do. Highly recommended!

Mohamed was incredibly kind and hospitable. After Cairo we were looking for the quiet place to be able to sleep quietly and stay and it was the best choice. Great views from the terrace to the Sakkara pyramids, great breakfast. Mohamed organised for us horse riding in Sakkara and trip to the desert and oasis as well. And he invited us for the Egyptian wedding of his cousin which was unforgettable experience. Highly recommended to stay in this place.

The room could do with a lick of paint and a bit more furniture. Also beware of the 4:30am call to prayer. But these things didnt bother us much. Well worth the stay.

Lovely, quiet location, Mohamed is a very good host, has helped us get organised with all the sightseeing. We wanted to stay close to horse stables for riding and the hotel is close to nice stables co-managed by an english lady, where the horses are well cared for. Whilst there are no restaurants nearby, Mohamed arranged takeaway based on what we liked, for a very good price. There were fantastic views from the terrace, a great place to just chill out in the sun. We had a lovely stay.

Beautiful location. Close to less known piramids and Sakkhara piramid. An oasis in between a local community. Friendly owner with rayonating gentle energy. Thanks for hosting us!

The facilities are run down and basic, but considering the price I can't complain. Mohammed intends to upgrade the facilities, but that will take time and, of course, increase the room rates!

Mohammed was friendly and very helpful. He did all he could to make my stay as pleasant as possible. His friend, Abdul, who drove me around to the sites I wanted to visit was also very hospitable and helpful. They make a good team!

The beautiful garden and hotel was the first thing that caught our eyes attention. It really is a beautiful place to stay. The professional manner that the owner treats his guests ,the view from the roof top is amazing. We had breakfast and dinner each day and the food was delicious freshly cooked .He always made sure we had plenty of cold drinks and enough to eat . We seen a lot of ancient sites thanks to the owner organizing a tour for us. The tour guide we had for the day , good English and very knowledgeable and stopping for cool drinks without having to ask. The owner driving us to our new destination on zamalek Island.
