Dine With Menkaure at This New Pyramid-Side Dining Spot

If you’ve ever looked at a pyramid and thought, “This would be better with carbs,” congratulations: you’re exactly the kind of visionary Mazmazza was built for. Nestled so close to the Great Pyramids of Giza you could probably pass Menkaure a breadbasket (yes, it’s a stone’s throw away from the literal station), this Egyptian breakfast and lunch spot redefines room with a view — assuming your room also comes with fresh baladi, grills, and the occasional camel photobomb.

The menu is straight-up comfort: foul, tameya, eggs with basterma, the classic ‘mashweyat’ and is perfect for that one friend who thinks ordering grills for lunch gives them cultural depth. The tehina is silky, the tea is legally strong, and everything arrives with that home-cooked, pre-Instagram energy. You’ll be eating like a pharaoh while silently wondering how they built that thing without a bread oven.

At Mazmazza, history is judging your spice tolerance. It’s a place where you can question your life choices while dunking meshabbek into molasses, and somehow, that feels like healing.
