This was our third stay in Rixos Sharm el Sheikh. The complex is well run by a team of dedicated friendly staff that make one feel welcome at all times.

The experience overall was amazing. The Pyramid Valley Hotel is the perfect location for visiting the sites of Giza with a free view of the Pyramids lightshow from the rooftop restaurant. The MS Royal Viking was a lovely ship.
