La terrasse au coucher du soleil.
Coupure d’électricité dans la nuit et donc arrêt des ventillos... Et un peu bruyant. Prix à négocier... pas de restau autour.
The location
great rooftop, very welcoming people, nice breakfast
a bit hard to find for ubers/taxis, but then conveniently located close to Saqqara
الفطور جيد والمكان معزول و هادئ السعر ممتاز
لا يوجد طرق مريحه للموقع الناموس كثير المطاعم والخدمات بعيده
It is directly in front of the sun temples of AbuSir that are closed to the public. Great value, excellent food, comfortable beds and rooms, but most of all beautiful souls who work there!
Nice, comfortable room with very beautiful view to the pyramids of Abusir (I changed the booked room to one with pyramids view, what I recommend very much). Staff and owner are very friendly, take very good care. Also the dinner was very delicious.
Il posto era molto bello, personale disponibile, pulito, colazione ottima e ottima vista sul tetto
Il servizio offerto per andare a visitare le piramidi vecchie è stato troppo costoso rispetto ai prezzi del Cairo. Anche la cena è costata più di quello che ci aspettavamo.
L'emplacement est idéal, très CALME, aux portes du désert. La vue de la terrasse est sublime. Idéalement situé entre Saqqarah et Dachour et Gizeh, avec un taxi. Le personnel est aux petits soins, le petit déjeuner excellent. Il peut vous faire un très bon dîner, pour un prix un peu élevé, mais vu l'excellent rapport qualité prix de la chambre/petit déjeuner, c'est ok. Idéal pour sortir du bruit et de l'excitation du Caire !!!
Prévoyez un anti-moustique.
It's a good guesthouse with a beautiful view from the roof. The rooms are simple but comfortable.
The Wi-Fi was weak, but that's a common problem in Egypt.
Really nice chilled atmosphere, owner is a great guy and is always ready to help. Rooftop has a fantastic view on old pyramids. It's quiet and I enjoyed that very much. Location is perfect to visit Saqqara and if you want to stay away from crazy Cairo I also recommend because it's only a short drive away. I will miss that place.
Could clean the bathroom a little bit better and blanket as well.
Excellents petit déjeuner et dîner.
Very good starting point for the pyramids of Saqqara and Dahshur. Great accommodation, I definitely recommend it. The host is helpful, breakfast and dinner are plentiful and delicious. You can eat whatever you want, you won't have stomach problems, which is a big advantage. Great view of the sun temple and old collapsed pyramids. The accommodation is very safe, even if you are traveling alone you will not have any problems. Gábor Bodor
Quiet, peaceful and overlooking a closed pyramid site on the outskirts of Giza and a small Bedouin village. Outwardly, the guest house has a nice looking appearance The room was a good size. The bed was large comfortable and clean. The owner and his uncle were very friendly and helpful. Especially when I had a small medical emergency. He drove me to a few different local clinics to see a doctor. Thank you so much. The food was very tasty for breakfast and dinner. The rooftop terrace is spacious with 360 degree views.
It is challenging to get an Uber/In Drive or taxi there to get to Giza or Saqqara unless you ask them to hire you a car and driver for the day. The room I was I felt unfinished. There were no plastic covers on the light switches and electrical outlets. The desk had come off the wall and though promised to be fixed had not been before I left. There was no AC/heater in my room so I needed a couple of blankets to stay warm at night. The water pressure was extremely low and it was challenging to get enough hot water for even a short shower. Sometimes the service means well but isn't quite consistent unless you keep asking them. For example, a horse ride through the abandoned pyramid site didn't quite happen because I wasn't insistent enough. Also, because I didn't first ask how much dinner was I was surprised to find out that it was the same price of the room for the night.
The location is beautiful and the hospitality is second to none. A truly wonderful stay. The staff go out of their way to help and make you feel comfortable......and the breakfast was delicious. Home away from home ♥️
The staff were very helpful and friendly
I have been staying here on my Egyptian trips for many years now and return time after time because the hospitality is second to none. The guest house has the best view anywhere in Abusir of the pyramid complex, the food is second to none and the host Esam can arrange anything you need from day trips to in house comfort. I always look forward to my next stay and Inshallah 2026 will be my next.
Longer stay
This guesthouse you visti for its location, just in front of the abusir pyramids and the temple of the sun. The amazing roof top terrace, and if you are able to sense energy. This place is an absolute hot spot to connect with the energies of Ancient Egypt. If you like you can visit the temples with a beautiful Arabian horse, A must do!
There was a wedding very near, so it was noisy! Just Bad luck. The food is good, but the presentation and service really need an upgrade!
Ich hatte einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt im Gästehaus bei Esam und seiner Familie. Ich wurde sehr liebevoll umsorgt, das Essen war sehr gut und es hat mir an nichts gefehlt. Höhepunkt ist die schöne Dachterrasse mit Blick auf die Pyramiden von Abu Sir. Dies ist wirklich ein sehr magischer Kraftort und ich komme sehr gerne wieder.
The breakfast was ok. The views are very nice. The hotel is very spacious. and rooms are clean. There is a nice area on the roof although you need to protect against mosquitoes.
he location was pleasant although the nearby village is extremely dirty with the waterway completely choked with rubbish. Disappointing. Quite a long walk to get food or otherwise from this particular village and walk was horrible. If you don't like cats and mosquitoes well think again. No meal options for lunch and dinner and cost more than normal.
An Oasis in Cairo ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After spending a week navigating the chaos of Cairo, I stumbled upon Serror Guest House—and within a single day, everything changed. This place is a genuine oasis. Away from the relentless hustle of the streets, Serror offers something rare: a chance to experience real Egyptian life. No scammers, no pressure—just warmth, hospitality, and peace. The location is perfect for pyramid exploration, but honestly, the real magic happens in the kitchen. Chef Mahmoud (apologies if I've butchered the spelling!) works absolute wonders. The food alone is worth the stay. I came to see the pyramids but left having fallen completely in love with Egypt—and that's largely thanks to being so well looked after here. If you're looking for an authentic, peaceful base in Cairo, this is it.
Мне в этом отеле было комфортно и приятно. Очень доброжелательный персонал. Хозяин отеля Исам помогает во всем. Организация любых поездок возможна за умеренную плату. Махмут готовит вкусный ужин, подходящий для европейцев. Что важно отметить - все очень чисто, что редкость для этих мест. Воду бутилированную всегда дают в любом количестве. И главное тишина и чистый воздух. Всем, кто хочет посмотреть Гизу, Саккару там остановится (вместо грязной, шумной Гизы)
Не смотря на мою 10, минусы есть, и они относятся к моей комнате. Тот, кто возьмет комнату подороже, думаю, их не будет. У меня не было кондиционера. Зимой это не проблема, но летом будет ужасно. Ну и душевая организована так, что вода заливает весь пол. Однако кровати очень удобные с чистым бельем. И берите фумигатор. Ребята дают какую-то штуку от Комаров, но ее не достаточно.
Nous avons eu un très bel accueil. Nos hôtes étaient disponibles : il manquait un drap qu'ils nous ont fourni et nous ont proposé un service de taxi pour la journée (Saqqara, Dahshur) à bon prix. L'emplacement est loin de ces deux pyramides mais propose une très belle vue sur des pyramides plus anciennes, dans un cadre paisible, bucolique et familial. Nous recommandons.
We had a wonderful stay at Seror guest house : we were welcomed very warmly and shown around the place, then we were able to go for a horse riding tour on their horses with the very friendly Ziad who took us to the Abussir pyramids; then we enjoyed a nice meal with a wonderful view, and same for breakfast. Mahmoud was really helpful and always happy to cater for everything we asked ! The room was clean and tidy, with AC and a comfortable bed. It was a very convenient location to visit Saqqarah, and very easy to find. Thank you !!!
المكان مميز
Everything and everyone. It felt like home.
I loved it all.
Fantastic room with good aircon. Room veiw of pyramids. Fantastic home cooked meals. Host organised a driver for me every day. Host was very caring and thoughtful when I wasn't feeling well. 10/10.
Un personnel très accueillant, aux petits soins, des repas de qualités et un logement plus que convenable.
服务人员很热情,除了半夜村子里停了一小时电被热醒外,非常完美
Ну в первую очередь это персонал. Великолепный сервис, дружеская атмосфера. Я чувствовал себя как дома. Мне помогли посетить все места, что я хотел: Саккару, Дахшур и Мейдум, возили по городу и организовали конную прогулку на закате около пирамид 5 династии. В номере безопасно оставлять свои вещи, что для меня было важно. Сам номер комфортный, кровать удобная, из окна вид на пирамиды. Вокруг тишина, для меня это тоже важно. В общем всем советую посетить это место!
Были некоторые мелочи, которые никак не повлияли на качество отдыха, например слабый напор воды и плохо работающий слив в душе. Но повторюсь, это все мелочи.
The renovation is really changing this place and making it more welcoming and clean!! The rooftop was a gorgeous view. The people working at the Guest House are very professional and friendly. The food was very very good!! The photos are accurate! Mohammed is definitely a professional, who speaks very good English, and will arrange everything for you (including amazing feteer for breakfast!) !!!
Setting in a quiet, nice spot overlooking Abusir
They don’t seem to get many guests - so they sadly take advantage of the location and dependance on transport. Ridiculous how they deceive, decided to leave straight away.
Unpretentious but absolutely caring at heart and with hindsight a highlight of two months away as not only did we experience real Egypt but they were also able to set us up for a local pyramid experience we will never forget.
Very good egyptian breakfast. Relax & helpful owner and his wife. Quiet place with good tuktuk connection to Saqgara. Nice view from room and the rooftop and Abusirs pyramids which were sadly closed.
Very Family friendly and they were very hospitable! I felt very at home and excited about the food! The comfortability of the atmosphere was amazing! Very kind people and the food was great! Home cooked meals and lovely presentation! We had parties on the rooftop over looking the pyramids and watched the view at night which was spectacular!
No complaints!
Great dinner, great breakfast, a lovey host and family who arranged a driver and activities for us to make the stay tailored and really relaxing. To note: Abu Sir is not open for visiting without a special permit. You can take a horse trek around it however I would only recommend this for experienced riders - as the horse tours are not setup for beginners. However the view of Abu Sir from the rooftop is spectacular and worth visiting by itself.
Rooftop breakfast with view of a pyramid... :) We had food poisoned from India for our stay and Tlthe owner was very worried and caring bringing his special tea and even making breakfast at 630 with special food for our stomachs. The property is a bit remote but don't be put off. It's aquiet and beautiful location.
Facilities slightly dated but still very good for the region. We are from Germany so standards are different ;)
First day amazing dinner and breakfast second day very reduced, but we had to pay the same price for dinner Nice view from the roof terrace
Room need renovation Internet did not work, although we asked ( i only ask once, not my responsibilty to ask again and again)
Such a lovely Family. Very nice location and view from the terrace. The breakfast was insanely well done!
The host is really nice and welcoming
The bathroom can easily be better, and overall could be a bit clearer
The rooms are very comfortable and from the rooftop terrace you have a great view of the Abusir pyramids. I felt very welcome and really enjoyed my stay. Breakfast is delicious!
Ragab is extremely friendly and helped us arrange a great dinner for a good price. Nothing luxuous but all the necessary things are here, the room was clean and comfortable. You can even park your car safely inside his property.
I wish I could have stayed longer.
Amazing food
Ragab and his wife are very nice people, we felt very welcome. The food was delicious and abound and they really want you to feel at home. The very best thing is the big, big roof garden from where you can enjoy the view to the little pyramids nearby. When it's cold, you can heat easyly with a little stove which works well.
We missed some hook for clothes to hang , there's no chair in the room and the bathroom is quite old.
The space has potential but the staff is horrendous
They are rude intrusive pushy and horrible people to deal with especially the wife
Beautiful location in family orientated guest house. Beautiful family who make you feel comfortable and as a woman travelling alone I was protected and safe. All trips arranged to Giza Pyramids and I was shown the real Egyptian culture. Ragab is a wonderful host and speaks perfect English, his wife Abeer is a lovely lady and wonderful cook. The location has great views of Abu Sir Pyramids. Its quiet and peaceful. I will definitely return again.
Everything was wonderful.
Without doubt the best guesthouse in the entire area. Located right on the edge of the desert, under the shadows of the Abusir pyramids , the location is second to none. Ragab will treat you like a king and can arrange any excursion you require, he uses only the best drivers. The home cooked meals are fresh and plentiful. I have been to Seror multiple times and have never been disappointed. I absolutely endorse and recommend this hidden gem wholeheartedly.
This was our second time here. The wife of the owner is a gem. Ze makes such a good Egpytian breakfast that I haven't had in the rest of my roundtrip in Egypt. She also makes delicisious fish and chicken dinners. We ate it on the rooftop which overlooks pyramids of Sakkara. U get that view also from some of the rooms. It doesn't get any better. The hotel lies in a silent part of Sakkara. It has a lovely green garden with loads of easy chairs to sit on. We drove in no time to Giza Pyramids.
The owner is very lovely and help his guest as much as he can which is great The rooftop of the guesthouse was amazing with the view
The bathroom was a bit old and run down
Meals prepared by the lady. The warm welcome
A extractor floor for the bedrooms would be Handy.
The location was great for visiting Saqqara pyramids and environs. The Guest House itself, a family operation, is very comfortable with an informal hostel-like vibe. Tea immediately offered which was served on a rooftop patio overlooking smaller pyramids. Mr Seror, who speaks excellent English, is very friendly, and set us up with a horse ride through the neighboring pyramids.
The place is nice and cozy, it was good regarding the money value also. The owner is so nice and friendly and always offers help.
The location is very beautiful, it is characterized by pleasant calm, and a very good identity with stunning views of the ancient Egyptian civilization. The reception of the staff is above excellent, especially the speed of meeting the needs of the guests.
They're sleep early The don't play a music Don't have a swimming pool
The breakfast (and lunch if you order some) was absolutely exceptional. True home-made local food, very tasty and fairly healthy as far as I'm concerned. The host went out of his way to accommodate for my late arrival and even have some food ready.
* The area around isn't very inviting to free roam. Any stranger will draw a lot of attention and in general the village is dirty and no much to see there. * Bathroom facilities leave a lot to be desired. * The blanket provided was very thick and too warm. It was too hot to sleep at night under the blanket and too cold without.
The Seror guest is the perfect and safe place to stay to view the Pyramids, discover Egypt, relax, heal, etc... The host and staff are welcoming and very helpful with anything you may need during your stay, they arranged my transportation to and from airport, which made it much fast & easy. It's not far from the Cairo airport. Next to Giza Pyramids with direct, breathtaking views of the Saqqara Pyramids. I will be back to stay longer.. soon! :) From my heart and soul...Thank you to all at the Seror guesthouse for being so welcoming, helpful and for all the delicious meals, ~ Laurie
I felt very welcomed and taken care of since the begining of my stay. I wanted to drop by for 2 days and finally I stayed 10days. The food was made with love, and I could get all the answers regarding pyramids and good places around. Very convenient location. The view from the balcony was amazing. I could catch both the sunset and Sunrise. I totally recommend the owner and people who run the place.
Mosquitoes and insects were quite annoying during evenings especially. So it's good to prepare for that.
Friendly, helpful, interesting owner of guesthouse.
Historical place. Not far from Giza.
the location was a plus because it was a quiet location away from an extremely busy Cairo’s traffic. the breakfast (included) was super good and so was the paid dinner. the host family are hospitable and kind. I slept very well as it was nice and quiet during the night.
it’s quite distant from both the city of Cairo as well as Giza pyramids, and therefore will cost a fortune in taxis each time you wish to visit city centre or Giza pyramids
Cordial attitude of the host
Unprecedented power failure for long and very meagre water flow
The solitude of the desert, calmness of village, interaction with pyramids from room window. Also the fact every individual there feels like a member of a big international family. I liked the cats, the dogs, the owner’s daughters, the birds chipping in morning, the horses around, the rooftop and magical garden.
The Bathroom needs some renovation, heavy smell from tubes, very typical in Egypt.
At a beautiful location with supreme view of old Abusir pyramids, quiet, spacious, wonderful large rooftop with varied seating options, yet close to Cairo, Giza and Saqqarah, with superkind staff, and creative atmosphere, a place to stay and stay!
Beautiful location. Peaceful. Quiet. Great hospitality. Happy to help with whatever needed. Delicious home cooked food. Would stay again!
Ragab and his family are so welcoming and friendly, it is clear that they foster a beautiful community at the guest house which is very special to be a part of. He has repeated guests and friends from all over the world which shows how much he invests in people. The food was incredible and such large portions!! The guest house is relaxed and has many different common areas to hang out, and even a pool table you can use for free! Amazing views from the rooftop, reliable wifi, and very comfortable bed.
There was an issue with the water whilst we were staying and it would turn off in the evening unexpectedly. The location is lovely and quiet but due to this it can be difficult to get around.
Absolutely amazing location with great views and landscape , breakfast was good if you are vegan (not for me) but it's still good . Bed is comfortable and warm blanket.. Had a new Aircon.
Extremely dirty bathroom and broken fixtures Finishing touches is bad. Dogs barking at night . Even for Egypt this place can do better. I would not recommend this place to stay felt a little unwelcome aswell .
The hotel locates in Abusir village near Saqqara Necropolis. My room and the terrace for breakfast had a good vew to Abusir pyramides. The room had some of basic amentities, including AC, the bed was comfortable, the bath had shower cabin with fixed shower. The place was quiet. The breakfast was good. The staff was helpful. Special gratitude to the driver Sherif who provided for me visiting some mastabas in Saqqara Necropolis.
No deposit luggage. No TV set.
My name is Mirka and I am working as a tourist guide all over the world, after a 2 weeks business trip in Egypt I decided to spend a few days relaxing in Seror guest house. This place absolutely met my expectations, the atmosphere is very pleasant, calm, family-like. Peaceful environment and excellent location near the Abu Sir pyramids. I got a room with a view straight to the pyramids. The owner's wife, Abira, cooked fantastic local food for us every day, which she prepares from the local market. In the guesthouse, I met a lot of interesting and pleasant people from all over the world. The hostel terrace is a pleasant place to rest and relax, watching the sunset over the pyramids. I felt like home in Seror Guest House and I definitely plan to come back :) Thank you dear Ragab, all his family and friends.. This couple of days i spent there stays always in my mind and in my heart :)
Il posto si trova in un luogo appartato e silenzioso, l'ideale per chi cerca a un po di calma, e i pasti sono fatti in casa ed eccellenti
La vista ed il silenzio sono impagabili, meraviglioso... l'unica cosa portare appresso un buon repellente anti-zanzare per le notti, sono voracissime !
By far the most authentic stay I had during my two weeks in Egypt, and some of the best vegan breakfasts I ever had in my life. The people, the dog and the house/garden were lovely, and so was the dog. I truly enjoyed my stay and I was sorry to leave. If you look for a warm and authentic experience where you can meet kind and interesting people, this is the place to go.
The bathtub needs bleaching! Definitely not a fan of plastic casing under the sheet and pillow cover. Being dropped at the "perfume institute/ travel agency" (i.e.tourist trap) was not at all enjoyable.
If you love the nature, the rustic places, the simple things... This is the perfect accommodation. The family hosting is amazing, they are doing for u everything u want, starting with food, or they can organise ur trip to piramids, they can provide taxi wherever u want, even they can help u with everything in Sharm el Sheikh.. Accommodation, turist guide.. And the mango fresh juice, made in home.. Is amazing.. 😘😘😘
For me everything was perfect.. I m not the tipe of 5 stars hotel.. I like rustic places, were u can prepare ur shisha.. And smoke relax in the nature.. Drinking a hot cup of tee..
