Mena House Oberoi

One of Egypt’s most luxurious hotels, the Mena House sits at the foot of the great Pyramids. The Mena House was once a royal hunting lodge and was converted to a hotel in 1869. It also was the first hotel in Cairo to have it’s own golf venue. For elaborate decor and awe-inspiring views I would suggest staying at the Mena House Oberoi. I love going to the Mena House for lunch after walking around the pyramids. The food is excellent. It’s a great place just to relax and have a beer!

This is another hotel I would recommend in Egypt if you are traveling on a tighter budget and don’t want to be staying at the Marriott. Hotel Longchamps is in a great location both clean and fun. It is near shops, restaurants and grocery stores.
