Mena
House Oberoi—This elegant hotel is just a stone’s
throw from the pyramids and Sphinx, in Giza. This is where
the 1979 Israel-Egypt peace treaty was signed. Its guest
list is long and prestigious. The decor is lush: fountains,
chandeliers, lattice balconies, filigree and marble. Disco,
casino, nightclub, tennis courts, pool, health club, golf
course, huge conference room (1,500 capacity). Enjoy dinner
at the excellent and elegant Moghul Room, which serves the
best Indian food in Cairo (and perhaps in the Middle East)
to the accompaniment of sublime, live Indian music. $$.
