About Khufu’s

Khufu’s is on the Giza Plateau, by the Great Pyramids, inside the archaeological grounds. Its cooking is contemporary Egyptian, built on seasonal ingredients and, in its own words, drawing from heritage without excess; the chef is Mostafa Seif. Dinner is served at Khufu’s Bistro, which takes its own reservations. Allow extra time for the plateau’s entry procedures.
