Ladurée, CAF, Moko & More Now Come With Panoramic View of The Pyramids

**Clears throat**

Ladurée, CAF, Moko, and Nefertari will open by the Great Pyramids of Giza. 

Yes, we’ve seen the Pinterest boards, read the novels, and taken into account the multitude of different Twitter/X threads regarding the wishful prospects of sipping on coffee ‘café au lait’ with the Eiffel tower suspended above your beret. But why let your daydreams travel far when the Great Pyramids of Giza are within arms reach? Why let the narrative sway you west when you can literally indulge in chocolate-laden macarons and red velvet lattes amidst the sprawling embrace of one of the last remaining ancient wonders of the world?

This is by no means a fictitious suggestion. Dear readers, this is your reality. Orascom Pyramids Entertainment have tuned into your 2 AM manifestation TikToks and brought forth a collection of dining and retail establishments right at the foot of the Pyramids. Afternoon tea chit chat sessions with uncle Menkaure at Ladurée? Feasible. All day remote ‘work’ at CAF? Viable. Last minute Valentine's chocolate box sourcing from Moko? Not commendable on your end but entirely attainable given the history (pun intended).

While you bathe in centuries of incomparable culture, Nefertari (not the real one but ironically close in proximity) packs those ancient secrets into pint sized skin care products. Needing to toggle between coffee and dining options in order to create a cinematic Instagram archive of how you chose to spend your weekend? Beloved gelateria Dolato and Aboudi Bookstore are neatly lined up - armed with ochre-tinted interiors - to provide you with said simple pleasures.

Blending seamlessly into its rich backdrop with a sandy palate and sharp textures, the plateau serves to embrace the neutral tones of its surrounding architecture. Each tenant sought to integrate the historical and cultural significance of the site and the heritage of the pyramids into the walls of their establishments, thus inviting visitors to truly experience its humbling atmosphere.
