This month, the Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at The First Residence is preparing a truly magical experience right in the heart of Cairo with a collection of culinary experiences at its fabulous restaurants.

Spend the night under the stars in Aura restaurant while the pool glistens in the backdrop, or enjoy panoramic views of the Nile at Zoé restaurant on the upper deck of the First Nile Boat. La Gourmandise in Giza First Mall will also present a lavish buffet featuring traditional local and Middle Eastern specialities and international twists.

If you’re planning a special event this month, let the Four Seasons’ expert catering team take care of all your needs as they bring the magic of Ramadan alive. They’re here to help you throw an unforgettable event, whether an intimate family gathering or a business social. Their exceptional staff can accommodate anywhere from 20 to 2000 guests at any location in Cairo.

The Four Seasons accentuates your stay with four restaurants serving delectable food of the highest quality. Starting with Aura, a Lebanese eatery offering an extensive a la carte menu, you can enjoy your Iftar poolside under the starry night sky outdoors. Lebanese Chef Ahmed Zoghbi has specially curated a tantalising selection featuring hot and cold mezze, grills, main courses, and delicious Arabic desserts.

And that’s not all! For Sohour, gather with your friends and family to once again choose your post-fasting course from the a la carte menu and experience the latest Ramadan dramas and live entertainment from the comfort of Aura’s private cabanas.
