Giza · Giza plateau

Studio Misr

A table with a direct view of the pyramids, tens of metres from the plateau.

€€€ High end

Egyptian and international cooking served facing the plateau, in a decor that cites 1930s Egyptian cinema. You go for the view — one of the few where the pyramids fill the window — and the menu keeps up decently.

The extra bit

Book for sunset, at a window table: after the sound and light show, the view changes entirely.

Know before you go

Prices are view-table prices, not neighbourhood ones: that is the entry fee to the panorama.
