This course is, if nothing else, a pleasant diversion from the madness of the city of Cairo. It's located about an hours drive from the centre of the city and unlike the marketing hype, is actually about 15 minutes drive from the Pyramids at Giza. You can just barely make out the shapes of the two large pyramids if you climb one of the moundings on the Championship course and peer through the thick smog that blankets the city.I played from the back tees (off a 14 handicap) and didn't find the course particularly difficult, even though there are enough sand and water hazards on fairways and around the green complexes to keep it interesting. The course was not particularly memorable; yes it was nice and green, and a relaxing place to escape from the constant tooting car horns, but I didn't come away with any favourite holes. If I'm ever in Cairo again (and I have no desire to ever return of my own choosing) I'd try the Katameyah Heights course.
