MENA HOUSE OBEROI, Where the Pharaohs stayed when they were building their Pyramids!
CAIRO; as ancient as time itself. Cairo, Is The Mother of Egypt and Keeper Of The Tombs.
Under the shadow of the Great Pyramid itself, lies a unique hotel - the Mena House Oberoi.
One of the joys of staying at the Mena House Oberoi is that many of
Egypt's magnificent treasures are but a stone's throw away. The Sphinx and Great Pyramid
is literally on the other side and within a five minute walk of the golf course.
In its 40 acres of jasmine scented gardens with the Great Pyramid
towering above, the Mena House has seen enchanting distinguished guests
ever since it opened in 1869. There's even an old story the staff love
to tell about a guest who asked where the Pharaohs stayed when they were
building their Pyramids. "At the Mena House of course, where else?" was
the happy reply.
Noteworthy people who have stayed at the Mena House are:
Winston Churchill, President Roosevelt, Chiang Kai Chek, General Montgomery,
Robert Taylor, Omar Shariff, Barbara Hutton, Aga Khan, Richard Nixon,
and of course, George and Audrey DeLange.
It seems as if the chefs and architects have
all worked together to produce some extraordinary dining experiences.
The Al Rubayat is a perfect example. The magnificently proportioned room
pierced by arabesque arches and mashrabia screens, and lit by beautiful
antique Islamic lamps, offers superb continental cuisine and an
international selection of fine wines. The Moghul Room is an equally
grand room specializing in beautifully prepared Indian cuisine, and the
Khan El Khalili, named after the famous Cairo market, offers Egyptian
and continental specialities 24 hours a day. For breakfast, snacks and
light refreshments, however, the ideal spot is the bright and cheerful
Greenery. Audrey and George spent most of their leasure time at the Greenery!
The Mena House Oberoi is an entertaining hotel and when the evening
draws in there are a host of things to do. Cocktails in the Sultan Bar,
for example, with its magnificent panoramic view of the pyramids, an
aperitif in the Mameluke Bar, or a night out in the Abu Nawas night club
or the exciting outdoor Oasis Club in the summer. The jet set too are
catered for with the exciting Saddle Discotheque, one of the liveliest
in town. A night of gaming at the casino can also be a pleasurable
pastime. But the Mena House is also a romantic hotel and there is
nothing nicer than strolling through the lovely gardens in the
moonlight, surrounded by the scents of the flowers, with the Great
Pyramid silhouetted in the distance.
For those who like to be active the Mena House
Oberoi has plenty to offer. The hotel's magnificent outdoor pool, the
largest in Cairo, complete with its own poolside coffee shop draws the
energetic as well as those who prefer just to relax and soak up the
perpetual Mena House sunshine. The gardens are perfect for jogging,
especially in the early morning, and the hotel has outdoor tennis courts
which are available at any time. For golfing enthusiasts, there's also a
magnificent 18-hole golf course, right on the doorstep. Riding is also
extremely popular and the hotel has a stable of horses and camels
complete with experienced instructors.
