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

Renowned for being home to some of the best culinary destinations in the city, New Cairo’s hotel Royal Maxim Palace Kempinski brings back its staple Ramadan tent, Bab Al Qasr, which has been a huge success in the past two years.

Located at the Pool Courtyard, where the hotel’s main building, aka the Palace, forms a picturesque backdrop to the magical setting, Bab Al Qasr tent welcomes corporate gathering and large groups daily for Iftar and Sohour, while individual guests can enjoy the tent’s weekly special nights every Friday. Called Star Nights, the line-up includes the likes of Mahmoud El Esseily, Pousy,  Adaweya, and Mahmoud Ellithy.

What’s special about this year’s edition of Royal Maxim Palace Kempinski’s Bab Al Qasr tent is its  new extension at The Terrace, which is set to host corporate Iftars, before opening its doors to everyone looking for an Oriental Sohour that comes with live entertainment on daily basis.

But this doesn’t mean that Bab Al Qasr, the restaurant, won’t be making anything special for Ramadan; in setting that matches that of the Arabian-Nights, and live entertainment, Royal Maxim Palace Kempinski’s Bab Al Qasr hosts Iftar, offering a unique set menu that boasts a colourful spectrum of Levantine Ramadan savoury and sweet delicacies.  

Celebrating Ramadan in its own way, The State invites everyone to enjoy its daily Iftar buffet, which offers an array of international delights that are sure to keep everyone satisfied.
