看里面 阿布扎比丽思卡尔顿 was only USD210 with a 升级 to a House

It also shows good hotels in Cairo are VERY Expensive!  Among the best places to use points!  Mena House was only 30K, retailed at $400 to $500 + 28% tax.  No Gate 1 tours offer Mena House or St. Regis as options.  For Gate 1's top tieir hotel in Cairo, they offer the very old, musty Cairo Marriott Resort and Casino across the Nile.  The main issue with Cairo Marriott is, not only it is super old, but it also is a place where a place with many Middle Eastern filthy rich men come here for their sexual adventure.  The lobby and the ground litter with transients and prostitutes.
