The Verdict
💡 Salem Says:
First, clarify: This is a residential complex, not a hotel. There is no reception desk where you check in like a Hilton. You rent specific apartments from owners (usually via Booking.com or Airbnb).
It is extremely popular with Europeans who stay for 2-3 months. It has two huge pools, it is clean, guarded 24/7, and it is located just off the Mamsha. It is quiet, safe, and friendly.

✅ The Good
- Space: Full studio or 1-bedroom flat with kitchen.
- Location: 5 mins walk to Mamsha promenade.
- Price: Very cheap for long stays (often €20/night).
- Pools: Excellent maintenance and never too crowded.
❌ The Bad
- No Service: You buy your own toilet paper and water.
- Decor: Totally depends on the owner (some are IKEA, some are grandma style).
- No Beach: You have to walk or taxi to a public beach.
🏘️ The Community
If you sit by the pool, you will hear English, German, and Dutch. It is a very social place. It's easy to make friends here, which makes it great for solo travelers who are afraid of being lonely in an apartment.
❓ Common Questions
Do I need to pay for electricity?
Usually, yes. In private rentals in Egypt, electricity is charged by the meter. It's cheap (maybe €10-15 a month), but ask the owner before booking.
Is it mixed couples friendly?
Yes, but like all of Egypt, if one partner is Egyptian, you need an Orfi or marriage contract. Two foreigners? No questions asked.
