Hotels in Egypt, even ones that label themselves as “five-star,” are notorious for going to great lengths to produce flattering photos and social media content to attract foreign guests to book with them. However, the “instagram vs. reality” difference in a developing country like Egypt can be quite vast, even in properties boasting “five stars” or big international chain and brand labels.
If only you could do a personal walk-through with your own eyes of the hotels you’re considering in Egypt before you commit. Well, if you haven’t heard yet, you can… or at least the next best thing.
The new “Hotels of Egypt” series on The Egypt Travel Channel has a growing list of hotel properties all over Egypt that we have meticulously filmed while staying at each property as anonymous paying guests.
The “Hotels of Egypt” video tour series shows Egypt’s major tourist hotels as they really are on a daily basis, not just in PR photos or staged social media videos. You’ll see not only the real exteriors and interior common areas, but multiple room and bed types, room bathrooms, fitness and spa facilities if available, their restaurants and bars, and more – way more than a hotel would dare show you on its own.
Also, in each video description – in addition to detailed info about each hotel’s location, unique features, and number of rooms, restaurants, and bars – is the property’s ranking on the “Best Hotels of Egypt” list, which assigns a one-to-five diamond rating expertly assessed annually by Middle East Travel & Tourism magazine.
So before you book a hotel stay anywhere in Egypt, make sure you know what you’re getting – and getting into – by checking out its real walk-through tour on the “Hotels of Egypt” series on The Egypt Travel Channel.
