Forgot to add the price .. anyone interested it cost around ÂŁ640 for 1 night!
đź
Thats a bit overpriced đ
Whoa!
I am SHOCKED! đź
For a minute I thought you were too shocked to talk about it...
Wow,inside the pyramid looks like the stuff panic attacks are made of đ
Especially as the contents are in a museum In London!đ€Šđ»ââïžâčïž
@@phill.p Probably safer there though...
@@phill.pthere are lots of Middle East there do they should be fine with that, and itâs free entry which wonât eat into their benefits
Biblical đ
My claustrophobia would never allow me inside a Pyramid.But that's ok. I live vicariously through those who do go in it.
Tim's managed to find the most reasonably priced mini-bar(s) in the world! :)
You could be right â ïž
Thank you for showing the inside of the pyramid! Now I know that if I ever somehow make it there that I donât need to go inside
Ditto đ
Enjoy these âexperiencesâ since I donât really feel up to traveling. Thanks for âtakingâ me with you. â€
Yes me too, it's a great way to travel whilst sat in our loungeđ
One of the best reviews I have ever seen on CZcams. The flow of the video is excellent. And what a beautiful hotel in an amazing location. A big thumbs up from me.
Wow, thanks!
I agree
Tim, your videos never dissappoint, this one was fantastic. I am an armchair viewer & I have to commend you on the quality of your videos. They are informative & entertaining. I'm so enjoying travelling around the globe with you leading the way.
Could not have put it any better đ
Same here, love his videos, so professional and definitely entertaining đđđ
Thank you. I have posted separately but I couldnât put it better!
Thank you for taking the claustrophobic Pyramid climb for us, I would have passed out. The hotel view and amenities were worth the $$$.
I watched this video and i was SHOCKED
As he promised
Wow...that steepness and claustrophobia would have made me have a panic attack and probably pass out. It was absolutely fascinating watching you so smoothly navigate through all that while filming. The hotel is really something as well-very nice. The grand beauty of these sites is incredible. Great video, Tim!
Got left behind by the guide under the Great Pyramid so played hide and seek with my kids for hours
My neck of the woods. I live by the golf course (which you didn't show) and have the same view of the Great Pyramid from my bedroom balcony. When there's a sandstorm, or it's foggy in the morning, one can't see the pyramids at all, even this close.
Yes, it was 42C last week - we usually have a heatwave before summer - not the weather for your energetic day.
Hope you enjoyed your stay.
Beautiful room and view. I went to Cairo in 1990 and have to say I was very disappointed, got fed up with beggers and people cramming to sell you scrap.
Thing is that in peak season this second room (now furnished as a living room) can be easily converted into a totally seperate room. They simply close the interconnecting door, throw out the dining room set, move the couch over there, and get a bed in this space. That is also why that "suite" came with two identical bathrooms (and two minibars!).
NO, that room does not have a hotel room number, so if they do, they will have to change all the emergency exit maps, so I doubt it.
Yes, almost everything was duplicated... 2 doors, 2 bathrooms, 2 identical wardrobes, 2 minibars, 2 balconies. Surely they were originally 2 rooms that were merged into that suite.
@@perolden I would expect them to have copies of new emergency exit maps when they convert the rooms. Not difficult to do and worth the time and effort given how much they can make with extra paying guests. They could turn 1301 into 1301A & 1301B.
It would be used as a "Hospitality room/suite". Meetings, bridal parties, small corporate event space in the living room space. I've stayed in many like it. The rooms can be booked individually or together as a suite of rooms as needed.
Ah, that's why there are two bathrooms. Although in Dubai he was in hotels with also two bathrooms. One for guests.đ
I stayed there on honeymoon several years ago! That's the 2nd video in 2 days of hotels I've stayed in lol. I didn't have a suite though but I did receive a basket of fruit, flowers and a bottle of champagne. I love Egypt it's so special.
Me too. The museum in Cairo is awesome too.
Love watching Tim and binge watching when i feel low â€
You'll be thankful for that second bathroom when you go back, in a few years, with your family! What a fantastic place. Wow.
lol at first I thought you meant because of the Indian food
Wow, your room looked very nice and I expected more than 640 a night especially with the complimentary lounge and all those cakes. Trip of a liftime to see the Pyramids, thank you for the fantastic footage inside and out đ
Expensive!
The room was very classy compared to the hotels in Dubai which I didnât like much.
was going to joke about the SHOCKED thing but that view is genuinely stunning.
I only put it when I am ...
@@WalkWithMeTim Most of the time lol.
When you first arrived at the pyramid it was amazing to see the scale! I am from New York and I have always loved Marriott hotels, I never imagined I would get to see one in Egypt! Thanks for the awesome video!
I travelled from Kairo to Abu Simbel and the Red Sea and visited many historical sites in Egypt, but I refused to go inside the Great Pyramid in Gizeh because my sister told me what it's like. đShe was going through the experience before đ It's helpful for your viewers that you filmed it, in case they are planning to visit Egypt. Good job.
Loved the cheeky UFO and face-plantings đ
Did I use cheeky correctly? I'm American âșïžđ
I bet he was shocked when he reviewed the footage. đ
â@@soulspinyou did, yes!
You mean the UFO was not real? Lol đ
Really liked this hotel especially the hotel grounds and not a bad view from your room đș
Yeah, the view was okay I suppose. Lol đą
Living the dream!
Thank you Tim for reviewing this beautiful hotel. Egypt is somewhere I have dreamed of visiting and my husband watches hours of history TV on the pyramids; as a retired builder he has a real passion for their construction. I have mobility issues now I'm older so don't think I'm likely to ever make the trip but having watched you filming inside of the pyramid, I appreciate even more your video and will be showing my husband where I think you will gain another fan!
Stayed there twice in 1976/76. Still remember it fondly and the very welcoming pool. Played golf under the pyramids across the road. Hotel has expanded greatly since then
Yes, before Marriott bought it, it was privately owned. I loved it then, but it looks very nice now.
Awesome video! I'm an Egyptology student so it's great seeing these things!
Also, the blocks for the pyramids didn't come from Luxor - the core limestone blocks came from Giza - basically where you're standing at 28:32 The white outer limestone that made the smooth angle was quarried and shipped from Tura
Yes, absolutely, as any mediocre guide book will tell you. The locals seem to know nothing, and fantasize about everything from the restaurants to the history.
On the other hand, they are not really locals, they come from all over Egypt, and even the poorer Arabian countries.
I visited the pyramids over a decade ago, but it was summertime. My god, the heat was unreal. I took a couple of steps inside the pyramid, felt like I was being cremated, and I turned around and walked right back out. The sweat was appearing through the outside of my baseball cap. Pyramids size was amazing, though, and to think they're nearly 5000 years old.
It occurred to me that Iâm officially in my 30s because I watch hotel review videos
Haha me to! No expencive holiday this year, so watching this gives my holiday fantasy some restâ€
đ me too
That was 2 rooms made into one, you can tell by the division of the balcony, the two mini-fridges, and the two full bathrooms.
Finally someone said it. It was so obvious
Opening CZcams to see another video tim was shocked - i was aghast
When you watch you will see why?
Well, that bathroom shocked him for sure.
Bruh you are playing
â@@soundscape26 Tim loves the size of bathroom đđđđ I don't know why he always obsessed with bathroom size
My favorite travel channel. I'm not able to travel for now so thanks for taking us on these trips, Tim. Brilliant
I feel you've been very generous with his one, Tim. You let a few things slide whereas before you would have been critical, and you didn't seem to 'nit-pick' the way you usually would.
I noticed that too.
Do you know what mate, I love watching your channel. The vlogs are so laid back and give us an idea of what's on offer throughout the world. Thanks Tim!
Thanks for that Andrew
Very impressed with the hotel. I guess two bathrooms allows a couple staying there to be able to use them at the same time as each other. (No waiting ages for the lady to finish!) I would certainly take advantage of the Executive lounge! Appreciate you scaling the Pyramid for us, with the heat and the climb not something I could face doing.
I've been in them I'm june which was awful lol
@@WalkWithMeTimhi Tim what was it like there cold or hot
Warm not to hot
@@WalkWithMeTim what was the temperature
28
What an absolutely stunning hotel , that view is just incredible, looking at one of the 7 wonders of the world . I think the price for the room and that view is pretty darn great . Another very interesting episode Tim , thanks so much , just watching more and more of your videos . Xx
I know some are saying it's overpriced, but I think it is worth the money. If you consider the size of your 2 rooms, the free food and drinks if you want it (you could as you said not have to pay for food and drink at all with access to that lounge) that alone would save you money. Also, the service is good, that was kind of the waiter in the lounge to bring you that big fruit platter. It's a once in a lifetime experience to stay somewhere where you can see the pyramids and also walk to it, thus saving on transport there, all in all, good value for money in my opinion.
Dunno if you ever traveled but 300 gonna get you a very good place in 1st world, for 640 you gonna get penthouse with jacuzzi on a balcony with an Eifel tower view. In Egypt tho you dont wanna know whats behind hotel walls
Amazing video. I like how you balance the attention you give to the room, to other hotel areas and the attractions you are visiting in your final edit. Nothing feels overstayed or rushed. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Glad to see you shocked again.
Seems Tim is easily shocked nowadays! LMAO
@@Pantherjonvideos he always says that in just about every vid ....makes ya watch it i guess to see what hes "shocked" about this time lol
I spent two weeks in Egypt last April. I deliberately didnât stay at the Marriott as all I heard is they have non stop huge weddings there due to the pyramid photo opps. So most guests canât sleep as the music doesnât stop. We stayed at the 4 seasons and the ritz. Tow bathrooms are essential as you can both get ready at the same time and be off early for the tour. The black back pack should be banned worldwide wide!
One of my favourite uploads, Tim. What a gorgeous hotel & surrounds. I felt relaxed just watching, and felt the history through the screen, too. I kept imagining the Pharaohs would be pleased that people sit and admire & be in awe of their resting places, just as they intended.
Thank you for the experience. My arthritis would have prevented me from walking in the pyramids. I would have enjoyed the hotel. Beautiful. I bet you enjoyed the pool more than once.
One of the best hotels Tim, great vlog thankyou đ
tbh its one I really liked
Your tour of Cairo, Egypt; the hotel and pyramids was beautiful. Keepp up on your doing. I always wanted to go to Cairo, Egypt and you brought it to me. I live in Friendly, Maryland since 197. I live about 20 minutes of the Capital in Washington, DC. Thank you for your tour. I love your tours. â€
I lived in Cairo for a while. My sister went there and never came back for fifteen years and married an Egyptian who became very rich. I was lucky to stay in most posh hotels and houses. At one point he had the whole of the pyramid site cleared and closed so me and my sister could have a "private viewing". He did this Cairo Museum as well! I was lucky enough to see many things that no one ever saw including artifacts from King Tut and a visit to the presidential palace where we met Anwar El Sadat!
One funny story was that in those days you could just clamber up a pyramid to which my sister did and promptly got stuck right at the top of one. In the end the Egyptian Army had to be called out with helicopter to rescue her. It cost my brother-in-Law a small fortune and a fine. Cairo is a fantastic city, even more so if you get off the touristy bits. Also Egyptians are all friendly and welcoming.
You show off đ lolđ Nice time had by all eh except sis up that pyramid. Agree nice place Cairo imo too
Anwar Sadat, Rest in peace! was a great man! One day his statue will be made...?
@@Patriot_123 I also was lucky enough to meet Yasser Arafat in a cafe in Gaza.
@@Patriot_123 I think there might be one on 6th October Street near the museum.
That hotel is one of the nicest you've shown us on this channel, thanks Tim. Great vid
I think so too đ
This was the best yet. Extraordinary. Definitely on my bucket list. Thanks for this Tim.
Because your videos bring me alot of pleasure and they helped me during a difficult time i have decided to become a member as i value your content.
I appreciate you and your wife so thankyou for the effect.
Another excellent video, Tim. You've developed a particular style and now you're including some quality documentary-type content.
That hotel is all about the location, which, as you say, is one of the best in the world.
Tim that view is absurd!!! How breathtaking!!! â€
My daughter watched it with me and said "i seen a spaceship, Tim didn't see it" đ
lol bless her
That's one Marriott hotel I would love to stay at. I've lost count of how many of their hotels I've stayed at. Best hotel brand in the world for my money.
Yeah cause the one at Manchester Airport is full of illegals
I live about two blocks from a Marriott Hotel, have never been in it. My house is good enough for me. But I would like to stay in one at least once. My employer likes us to stay at Holiday Inn Express, which is good enough. But the Cario Marriott has the million dollar view.
@@iworkout6912 ÂŁ640 a night is not bad if compared to the somewhat bloated hotels that is the Hotel de Paris, or the Atlantis in Dubai.

Walking through the metal detector at the entrance is a reminder that this is a dangerous place to be in the world right now..Take good care, Tim!
And yes, those are definitely connecting rooms that they've removed a bed from one to create a suite.
Marriott is my favorite brand for stays. I'd love to see Egypt.
Not watched any of this video yet,but, guaranteed at some time Tim will say "Branding on point" at least twice đ€đ
hehe, and how many people can fit in the shower!đ
And 'not overly that (adjective)'
Counted one "branding on point"
Yes and tell us how many ppl can fit in the shower đ
Or "I'm gutted that..." đ
Wow this looks like the kind of luxury I would really appreciate. The setting is genuinely amazing.
Tim you are such a delight to watch, you have such a good sense of humour- I can't help but feel you are destined for tv.
Wow I'm so envious, it looks amazing thankyou Tim, you covered everything
Thank you Tim for the great video. My husband has always wanted to visit the Pyramids but all the people will change his mind, Iâd be happy to sit on the hotel room balcony with that glass of wine you talked of.
This looked another amazing hotel you stayed in with fantastic views of the Pyramids and looks an amazing place for holiday , great review as always Tim đ
Hi Tim Wow what a lovely hotel. I think your room was most probably separate at one point . Lovely view of the pyramids . I couldn't go in that pyramid it's to claustrophobic for me . Great vlog Tim . Thanks for sharing with us love to you as always Tracey â€â€â€
This was a fantastic video! So well done, thank you!
Wow that view is something you will never forget đ
Spectacular is an understatement đłđ€đ
Thank you so much for taking us inside! It looks so fascinating! đź
Thank you! That was exciting!
V kind and generous of u to give the guide that big tip. Bless u â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€
Thanks for the vid. That hotel and view from your room looked awesome. Wow just wow!
Amazing as always Tim.
Thank you sir.
Hi Tim.
The reason the bed and living room are identical because they originally were 2 connecting rooms, where they simply changed the furniture in one room, to make it a living room.
Hence the 2 separate balconies, 2 safes and near identical bathrooms.
Superior rooms and suites, always have access to the executive lounge.
Memberships is normally a point earning system, giving u options for free nights and a membership once âhighâ enough can mean free upgrades depending on availability.
Suites made to be a suite has normally a powder room, one entrance, one safe and one big balcony, but either way, the extra space is always nice to have and you deserve it!
Thanks for yet another great video!
I lost the live chat as I watched the blog on the TV very brave of you Tim to go in a pyramid thank-you for a excellent blog
Great video, Tim. The grounds and the views were truly amazing. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks so much, Tim! Stunning! Very enjoyable.
One of your best videos. Thank you for taking me to Egypt with you. Absolutely fantastic.
Always awesome!!!
18 degrees is about right for a tour to the pyramids,not to hot or to cold.Thamkyou for braving the pyramids for us Tim,i would have been scared to go in there.
Another great video. Thank you for all of them. My wife and I love watching them and seeing the word through your videos.
OMG What a great job of showing this place. How lucky you are to travel, So glad you share your time on youtube.
Wow loved the hotel, the pyramid looked awesome on the outside- then you go in and đź not what I thought!
Thank you for showcasing it. X
This was incredible
Brilliant video Tim, thank you.
Fantastic video Tim! Thanks so much, itâs really appreciated đ
One of my favourite places you have shown. Really wonderful.
That place looks amazing!
Hands down the best view from a hotel anywhere. Amazing
Hotel looks amazing. Great perspective of the Pyramids. Another winner Tim
lol đ a sofa inside a toilet never seen that great video Tim
Enjoyed this, the Hotel looked fab ! The Pyramids were amazing, i could not manage those steps so ty for talking us up there.Another great vlog Timđ
One of the best channels ever! Thanks for taking us along!
Gorgeous view!
wow another masterpiece video. i love the whole touring so that anyone can see alot of the Areas
That was a great video Tim. Thanks for bearing the heat so we could see just how narrow it is inside the pyramid.
Another great video Tim! đđŒ
Wow this is fantastic Tim, thank for taking us round loved đŹđ§
I agree re the hallway ~ it's definitely the niicest one I've ever seen in any hotel. Fab video Tim!
Loved this video. I like how Tim's videos inspire you to follow up and research on a destination/hotel like this. They make you hungry to visit them yourself.
The hotel looked excellent especially the pool areas. Food looked delicious. Pyramid trip was fantastic but wouldn't travel in summer wouldn't enjoy if too hot.
Thanks
That's one of the most amazing hotel setting ever!
Once again - vicariously living! Love It!!!!
Oh Cairo, I remember when I went and I was transformed into a walking wallet in the eyes of those around me offering âEgyptian hospitalityâ. Itâs hard work there.
I won't go to any North African country ever again... You could offer me a free stay in a 5-star all-inclusive hotel for a week and I still wouldn't go!

A place I would love to visit. What I like in particular is that your vids also take us elsewhere but inside the hotel. Great video. Thank you.
What a workout walking through that pyramid.. đź what a great video.. thanks for the tour
Thanks Tim for another great video. You let us all experience a little bit of luxury and feel like we're not missing out.
