The Mena House Oberoi lies in the shadow of one of the wonders of the world, the Great Pyramid at Giza. Surrounded by 40 acres of scented gardens, this historic palace hotel is only 700 metres from the towering Pyramid of Cheops. The hotel was built in 1869 and since that time has been welcoming visitors to Cairo, drawn here by the rich heritage of mosques, churches and temples. Modern Cairo is an exciting and vibrant place, bustling alongside its priceless heritage of art and architecture.

The old Palace of Mena House has exquisitely crafted interiors in a traditional style with filigree fretwork and intricately carved panelling, fine murals, gilding, inlaid mother-of-peal and handcrafted mosaic tiles. Furnished with orginal works of art and antiques, the interior is that of a royal residence not a hotel. The Mena House Oberoi has 523 rooms and suites in the Palace and Garden wings and Cabana style rooms by the swimming pool. The rooms and suites are lavishly appointed with traditionally inspired furnishings and carpets.

The spectucular pyramids provide a wonderful backdrop to a round of golf on the hotels own 18 hole Golf Course. Other leisure activities include a beautiful outdoor pool set amongst the landscaped gardens, fitness centre, tennis, horseback and camel riding.
