Fodor's "This is the great colonial-era hotel in Cairo and has hosted almost every politician, celebrity, and member of royalty to visit Egypt, and it's both comfortable and convenient for the pyramids." Full review
Fodor's "The setting in the arches-and-romance splendor of the Mena House could hardly be more sublime, and Indian musicians create a seductive aural backdrop. Try luscious, yogurt-marinated tandoori." Full review
Lonely Planet "Built in 1869 as Khedive Ismail’s hunting lodge, Mena House dazzles with intricate gold decoration and air that perpetually smells of jasmine." Full review
Independent "Even if you don’t end up staying at the Marriott Mena House, it’s worth a visit to savour the breathtaking scenery while dining at the hotel’s restaurant. "
