Crowne Plaza Alexandria Mirage by IHG
The nicest hotel I’ve stayed in Egypt. I’ve been to Egypt many times but this is the best :) The staff are so kind and helpful - especially Rewan, Menna, Shrouk, Monir and Osama. Would definitely recommend!!

The Grand Plaza Hotel Smouha
Overall a great stay. Comfortable rooms and friendly staff. The only downside was some noise due to sports teams staying at the hotel, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience.
