What was once a royal hunting lodge was transformed into a hotel in 1890. Today, it's the Marriott chain of hotels and resorts that operates the Mena House. Located walking distance from the base of the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx, the hotel is in an excellent location for exploring Ancient Egypt. Reserve a room with a balcony and you may have the opportunity to wake up with a pyramid view right from your bed!

Social Media Description
We took advantage of a hotel award certificate and stayed at the 5 star Marriott Mena House in Cairo!
Fun fact: The first swimming pool in Africa opened on the hotel grounds in 1905. That same pool is now a pond that lies between the hotel's restaurant and the Giza pyramids - a perfect spot for guests from all over the world to enjoy the reflection of the pyramids.
