"Pros: Umarfaha made the best falafel in Egypt, a truly amazing breakfast. It was a banquet of deliciousness that we ate whilst gazing at the lake views visible from the breakfast area. There are lots of birds, we enjoyed this. The pool is lovely, very clean, and is set in a really pretty garden. The shower was good. The room had kettle/coffee/lots of teas. The bed was comfy, we had a private balcony with unobstructed lake view. The stone built building felt like a small castle, cool inside, and really beautiful rooms. Mohamed spoke really good english. He gave us lots of great information about the places we were visiting, was really attentive, and sorted out everything we asked him to. An exceptionally helpful and lovely guy. He organised a couple of tours for us, and the 4x4 day trip to Wadi El Hitan / Wadi El Rayan / magic lake / sandboarding day was one of the highlights of our trip and we highly recommend it. Our driver Basar was great, good english, fun, good driver. It is a lovely place, and we were well looked after in many ways. The building work should be finished soon so maybe it will be perfect for future guests. I'd highly recommend the coffee wagon called "Nostalgia". It is run by a genuinely lovely Guy. He does the best ice cream (italian), and the best coffee. ( located along the road with pottery shops, past Com El Dikka) Cons: The building work that was going on throughout all of our stay wasn't great and caused minor hiccups. These were rectified quickly and with much apology, but the hammering of bricks at 6:45 am on our last day was inconsiderate." ~Tracy
