Our Brand History: The Legacy of Sphinx Guest House

Founded in 1884 by Abu-Talib Khattab, a visionary archaeologist and storyteller, the Sphinx Guest House pioneered hospitality near the Giza Plateau. With a deep passion for Ancient Egypt, he welcomed travelers to experience the magic of nature, the warmth of Bedouin culture, and Egypt’s rich cultural heritage.

Now reimagined under the Sphinx House Family, the Sphinx Guest House seamlessly blends its historic roots with modern comforts—offering guests a timeless connection to Egypt’s ancient wonders and a truly inspiring stay.
