The Sinai seems like a scary place. There are lots of security checkpoints. There are rules on needing police escorts for certain parts. Travel advisories are up for large swaths of both the Northern and Southern Sinai. So let's avoid the Sinai right? Not so fast. Yes the Sinai has some weird rules and quirks in terms of getting around. However, the Sinai is an extremely unique area. Hiking, snorkeling, cultural activities, historical monuments, nightlife - you can expect to find all of these in the Sinai. It's a far cry from Cairo, Luxor, or Alexandria, maybe you could even say relaxing. And with a location adjacent to Eilat, Israel, and Aqaba, Jordan, it's a melange of Egyptian craziness with Levantine comfort. So how should you spend your time in the Sinai? Great question, and I'm here to answer that!

Egypt has an incredible amount of sites and experiences, but the excitement and joy of exploring the world’s oldest civilization and the greatest marvels created by man can sometimes be overshadowed by inconveniences. Simple issues, such as a hotel or Nile cruise not meeting the expected classification or standards, can detract from the overall experience. Although Egypt boasts many hotels, the categorization criteria are often loose and poorly defined, making it challenging for tourists to determine which accommodations best suit their needs. The 4 and 5-star global classifications and criteria are not always strictly adhered to here, leading to discrepancies between expectations and reality. This can result in less satisfactory experiences for travelers who anticipate a certain standard of comfort and service. Whether travelers are seeking budget, luxury, or ultra-luxury experiences, they may find their needs unmet due to these inconsistencies. I have often heard comments like, “Everything was great, but I did not realize there were different levels of 5-star hotels, and I could have stayed at a more luxurious one to enhance my experience.” This guide is designed to address these concerns by providing clear information on the classification of hotels and Nile cruises. It will help you navigate Egypt’s diverse offerings by listing accommodations according to their correct classifications, ensuring a more enjoyable and tailored experience. The guide categorizes hotels and Nile cruises into five distinct groups, offering clarity and ease of choice. I have excluded any hotels below 4 stars from this guide and focus specifically on the official 5-star categories, dividing them into four types: standard, luxury, deluxe, and ultra-luxury. This way, you can make informed decisions and have a more fulfilling stay in Egypt, aligned with your expectations and desires.
