The 3 days I spent at this hotel were a terrible experience.
The first morning during breakfast a women appeared at my table. She was very friendly, wanting to plan my trips. Well, she offered me 3 day trips for the price of $150/day. I refused several times, but she was still insisting, telling me that if I would go on my own I would be in danger, that I can trust nobody out there.
Later that day I asked at the reception to call me a taxi, but the boss of the hotel came and offered me a free ride with his driver. He insisted to take this gift "as a friend" and sent me to visit a couple of shops. It appeared that he was also friend with the owner of these shops... Also, in return he asked me to give his hotel a 5 star review. At that moment, he was 'helping' a woman in the lobby to write her 'independent review'.
The next day I went to the reception to call a taxi, but again, they told me that they have a "good" driver. This driver asked me to pay $45 (about 800 LE) for a day trip. Later, I found out that for that 100 km (50 km one way) I would have to pay about 250 LE. This driver asked me explicitly to recommend him to the boss of the hotel.
On the third day I have found some taxi's on the Internet, but the first taxi that came to the hotel was sent away by the staff. Another taxi that arrived explicitly told us that we could only drive with him via the hotel. By waiting outside for yet another taxi, we could finally get it.
