On Tuesday night, Mohamed Salah, the renowned Liverpool and Egyptian national team forward, made a brief stop in Nairobi, Kenya, before continuing to an unknown location.
According to sources, Salah was booked at the Hilton Garden Inn on Mombasa Road, where he enjoyed a relatively low-key stay, despite being a global football superstar.
A hotel staff member revealed that Salah's team had requested a discreet welcome, and the hotel administration obliged, ensuring the Premier League top scorer received a private reception.
The cost of a night's stay at the Hilton Garden Inn ranges from Sh14,000 for a standard room to Sh30,000 for a king one-bedroom suite.
Salah's visit to Nairobi was shrouded in secrecy, with staff at the hotel unaware of his ultimate destination.
Despite the mystery surrounding his trip, staff members described Salah as a humble and down-to-earth individual.
Considered one of the world's best players, Salah is known for his exceptional finishing, dribbling, and speed on the football pitch.
