Seated where Agatha Christie once found inspiration and world leaders have contemplated the view since 1899, you’ll be served a complimentary signature drink—perhaps a traditional hibiscus tea or elegant cocktail. As the Victorian arches and domes around you glow in the fading light, you’ll experience the perfect blend of colonial elegance and Egyptian magic that has captivated distinguished guests for over a century.
