Celebrate the New Year under the pyramid, at the Marriott Hotel in Mena Palace, Cairo, Egypt

Without saying much, this is a hotel born at the finish line, and just dining with the pyramids is better than countless in the world. The hotel has hosted numerous important figures and witnessed countless historical moments in its over a hundred years since its birth. Even the well-known Cairo Declaration was signed here. We are not here to stay, but to write history. The hotel is right under the eyelids of the Khufu Pyramid, and can't be any closer. It's just a few minutes' walk to the ticket office at the north gate of the pyramid. If it were managed according to China's methods for cultural relics, this hotel would have to be demolished. But the hotel itself has a long history and significant meaning, and it has become a cultural relic, an immovable cultural relic on par with the pyramids. Therefore, it is extraordinary for us ordinary people to have the privilege of sleeping with these two. Booked in advance with a suite coupon, but was ruthlessly rejected. Fortunately, I was upgraded to a supreme garden view room for free when I arrived. The decoration and maintenance of the room are much better than expected. There is actually an executive lounge, and the products are very complete, which can be used as a regular dinner. On the day of check-in, it happened to be the Spring Festival, and more than half of the guests in the lounge were Chinese, rolling out of Asia, and the atmosphere was no different from the Marriott lounges in China. The scenic dining seats framed with the pyramid by the pond, with two rows of more than a dozen tables, are highly competitive. Breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner are all first come, first served. In fact, it's not comfortable to really grab it, it's hot during the day and cold at night, but it's indeed very, very photogenic. The hotel also offers a pyramid tour charter service, 1600 Egyptian pounds for two hours, which is not cheap. But thinking about the possibility of being in the yellow sand under the scorching sun, fighting wits and courage with various vendors and being tricked, I feel this money is necessary. As a result, it was indeed worry-free, and I got tired of seeing the pyramids and the Sphinx from all angles. This itinerary is especially suitable for people who don't like riding horses or camels. Tips 1, you don't have to stay, you can visit here for free as a tourist attraction or come to eat as a restaurant. Tips 2, all consumption other than accommodation requires payment in Egyptian pounds.
