Egypt's Mena House Oberoi
Mena House Oberoi
A legendary hotel nestled at the foot of the Pyramids, this rustic colonial villa was built in 1869 as a resting house for sightseeing royals. It's quite a distance from the center and showing its age, but to wake up to views of Cheops framed by palm trees and mist, this is the place to be.
Located in forty acres of jasmine scented gardens, Mena House Oberoi has played host to kings and emperors, Heads of State and celebrities. Its royal history is reflected in luxurious interiors that are embellished with exquisite antiques, handcrafted furniture and rich textiles. A variety of international as well as Egyptian cuisine is on offer at the excellent restaurants and bars in the hotel. This is the perfect place to begin your explorations of Cairo.
