Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Basic amenities only — No air conditioning, breakfast, or lounge areas are listed, so expectations should stay modest.

  • Location may require transport for some sites — Aisha Fahmy Palace is about a 10-minute drive, so not everything is within immediate walking distance.
