Marriott Mena House Is Handling Iftar So You Don’t Have To

Ramadan arrives with its familiar, beautiful rhythm. The gathering of loved ones, the anticipation of sunset, the quiet reverence of the hour before dawn. It also arrives, with a rather formidable to-do list. Between the shopping, the soaking, the simmering, and the scrubbing, the host can become a guest at their own table.

For decades, Marriott Mena House has served a place where the rituals of the holy month unfold with the unhurried grace they deserve. This year, they extend that hospitality across every hour of the evening, from the first sip of water at iftar to the last, lingering moments of suhoor. With lanterns casting their familiar glow across terraces. And always, always, with those three silent, majestic companions keeping watch over Giza.

Iftar Buffet

Leaving the symphony of timers on your ovens behind; the iftar at the 139 Pavilion is a culinary crescendo beginning with rich soups and an expansive mosaic of mezze that would make any ‘sitt el-beit’ nod in approval. True showmanship unfolds at the live stations as expert carvers handle majestic roasts, and breathe in the smoky allure from the grills corner. The journey spans from deep Egyptian flavours to international signatures, a global tour that ends in the most delightful of territories - dessert. Beyond a constellation of traditional pastries, live stations craft fresh, stringy cheese kunafa and piping-hot qatayef to order. It’s a finale designed to make choosing the last bite a happy dilemma.

Sohour Under The Stars

As the stars take their positions over Giza, the night finds its second wind. The Marriott Mena House’s Sohour - framed by the silent, ancient silhouette of the pyramids - is an à la carte menu crafted for conversation and sharing. It’s a curated selection of refreshing salads, hearty classics, and indulgent desserts, paired with the quintessential lineup of Ramadan beverages - from the honeyed warmth of sahlab to the tangy kick of qamar el-din.

For Gatherings of Scale

Some gatherings demand more than a table for ten. Marriott Mena House translates its signature warmth to accommodate celebrations of considerable scale, with dedicated banquet spaces and tailored menus for corporate iftars, community suhoor events, and family-style feasts. Whether you seek a formal set menu, a lavish buffet, or a family-style spread, the hotel's events team ensures every detail aligns with the spirit of the season.

Al Khalifa Ballroom

A majestic, gilded hall where soft chandelier light catches intricate ceilings and the weight of history settles into the walls. Ideal for large-scale Ramadan gatherings the ballroom offers generous space for bespoke Ramadan activations, dedicated food stations, and the kind of atmosphere that elevates an event into an occasion.

139 Garden

Host your gathering literally in the shadow of the Pyramids. This expansive outdoor venue pairs flexible setups with the world’s most iconic backdrop. Ideal for an alfresco iftar or a starlit suhoor where the view is the guest of honour.

Eugenie Garden

A serene, poolside counterpart to the desert grandeur. Overlooking the Chephren Pyramid, this garden offers a lush, tranquil setting for more intimate or stylishly relaxed events. It’s where garden-party ease meets timeless wonder.
