Mena House

"Traveller, when you go to Egypt, take a room at the Mena House and spend time sitting on your balcony watching the Great Pyramid. Start early in the morning and look at it again before you go to bed. You will discover a new silhouette every time you look."

Andreas Augustin

‘After an evening at the Mena House hotel, where Gypsies played their melancholic and maddening airs which seem to evoke all of their passions, I went to take another look at the sphinx, under the moonlight. It appeared more imposing, as if transfigured. Beneath the magical moon, its maimed features were repaired. I came back to the hotel terrace. The air was refreshing. The grand tent quivered in the East wind. I sat beneath it, unable to tear myself away from the grandiose emotion of that place, which resembled the sanctuary of the Almighty, or from the ingratiating charm of that clear night, of that heavenly air.’

Edouard Schuré (1898)
