The Definitive Guide to Living in the Capital , Cairo , Egypt

There’s a sense of playfulness that few hotels make work as well as the Four Seasons Nile Plaza. The Garden City hotel adds a liveliness to all its proceedings, while still maintaining its standing as one a peak of hospitality, luxury and dining – three things that the hotel will be serving up in great big heaps this Eid. It's been a busy month for the hotel, with Ramadan ringing through the hallways, but it's set-up the Eid celebrations perfectly.

Like FSNP’s Ramadan specials, the Eid celebrations have a little something for everyone – be that person a foodie, a partygoer or a kahk-addict, which is a very real situation that seems to affect many at this time of the year and can be remedied at Beymen Café, or better year, at the Lobby Lounge’s daily eid Delights buffet at 150LE++.

Though we like to attach food to any occasion, few are as celebratory about food as Eid El Fitr – for obvious reasons – and the hotel’s restaurants are doing their part for the cause. Stunning Cantonese restaurant, 8, will be offering a special dim sum brunch – with a ‘Peking duck station’ – for 420LE++ per person between Wednesday 6 and Friday 8 of July, while newly renovated Zitouni, hosts a special Eid buffet for 395LE++ of Egyptian classics.

From food to music, live entertainment is on the schedule for the Thursday and Friday by the pool, while the hotel’s resident drink-n-dance spot, Graffiti, returns after a Ramadan sabbatical , with two special nights on Thursday and Friday. This is the full works though – dinner and show. A special set-menu for 500LE all inclusive per person is on offer, with the likes of bellydancer, Ozana, DJ Ramon, popular percussionist, Shaaban, and electric oud act, Hamdoon & Ghazal, set to perform.
