About

We are true Alexandrian world citizens. We care about our country and the world, and that's why we strive towards making them better places. We decided to start in Alexandria, the Pearl of the Mediterranean, and grow, slowly but surely, to showcase all of Egypt's rich culture and history to the world while adding comfort and delight to every step all visitors have here in our country.

When you choose to stay with us, you choose to a place that isn't just a hostel, but one that is a starting point for life-long friendships and adventures, a place of comfort and rest after days filled with excitement and exploration, and most importantly, a home. We provide our guests with information on local and national transport services, tips on the best street food joints and some of the best sightseeing trails through Alexandria. From basic travel information to anything needed to enrich your experience we aim to make your experience in Alex as memorable as possible.

Guests love the prime location, offering beautiful sea views and easy access to the city. The atmosphere is generally social and welcoming, making it a great spot for solo travellers and groups.

The property advertises air conditioning, but it was turned off at night both nights of my stay. The heat was so extreme that sweat got into my phone’s charging port, preventing me from charging it. The property was also difficult to find due to a lack of signs outside. After locating it, I learned guests could not use the elevator, making access inconvenient. These issues should be disclosed to guests and addressed to improve the overall experience.

I was also grateful for the simple breakfast they provided each morning. It may have been modest, but the care and thoughtfulness behind it were truly appreciated. I also enjoyed having access to the kitchen, which made it easy to cook my own meals and feel more at home during my stay." 😊
