Ahmed, Ala and Sara did answered all our question. The property itself can do with updating but not desperately. One not so great thing was breakfast.

"If you are visiting Egypt, Zen Pyramids Luxury Villa is hands down the absolute best place to stay. I originally booked a 1-week stay on Expedia, but I loved it so much that I immediately extended for another 10 days! ​Here is why this property is unbeatable: ​World-Class Hospitality: The owners, managers, front desk, and housekeeping staff are incredible. Everyone is genuine, kind, and attentive. They go out of their way to take care of you and make you feel 100% at home. ​Atmosphere & Amenities: Beautiful, calm, and super relaxing. The property features a fantastic pool, convenient in-house laundry service, and a delicious daily breakfast. ​Prime Location: Super close to both the Pyramids and the museum, making sightseeing effortless. ​Seamless Tours & Transportation: The hotel runs its own travel and tour operations directly from the property with private cars. They can organize everything—ATV desert rides, Nile tours, scuba diving, camping, and spiritual retreats. The prices are extremely fair with no middleman commissions, third-party hassle, or drama. ​This was easily one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Zen Pyramids Luxury Villa is the only spot I will stay at whenever I visit Egypt!"
