Such illustrious history is reflected in luxurious interiors embellished with handcrafted furniture, original work of arts and magnificent antiques.

Regarded as one of the leading luxury hotels in Cairo, the Mena House Oberoi is surrounded by lush gardens and, standing just 700 metres from the Great Pyramids of Giza, provides unrivalled views.
