Egypt Air - business/first class

I will be flying AMM-PEK shortly. Egypt Air have dirt cheap fares in business- and first class, respectively USD 1300 and USD 2000. How are these classes compared to other "normal" airlines?? I have heard that Egypt Air is a 3rd world airline, and not very comfortable. But I am very tempted by the low fares - and also full earnings on miles on Star Alliance.

I will also have to do a transfer on the international terminal. I think I have a connection time of 90 minutes. I have been to Cairo once, and it's one of the crappiest airports I have been to. Will I be fine with this amount of time?
