The best falafel in the entire world. Seriously. No joke. 
A small restaurant right when you pass through the gates to get in to the Coptic Museum/ Hanging Church streets. 
The owner will beckon you in. He will also give you directions and recommendations for the churches. When you are finished, stop at his restaurant. The tahini is also spectacular. 
Its likely that he will also give you free delicious Egyptian tea. He cooks the falafel fresh for you, and they are piping hot and fantastic. #Culture

It's an airport hotel that's premium. Very nicely designed property. The room was large and the bed comfy. It was just the right amount of rest and relaxation after our vacation and before our long trip back home.

Originally Beit El Kertlia, this historic home has so many grand rooms, ornate decor, beautiful courtyards, gardens and and my favorite part, the rooftop (you can see Ibn Tulum mosque from here). ⁣
