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

Summer on the North Coast is often about discovering new places to eat, linger and spend an evening by the sea. This season, Fairmont Nile City is bringing one of its most recognised dining concepts beyond Cairo, introducing Saigon by the Sea at Masyaf, Ras El Hekma. The seasonal concept marks a new chapter for Fairmont Nile City, extending its culinary offering beyond the hotel and giving guests the chance to experience the flavours and hospitality of Saigon in a completely different setting.

Saigon Meets the Mediterranean

Open exclusively from mid-July through the end of September 2026, Saigon by the Sea marks the first time the celebrated restaurant leaves its home at Fairmont Nile City. Set along the Mediterranean coastline, the new destination brings together Saigon’s refined atmosphere and Pan-Asian cuisine with the relaxed energy of a North Coast summer. The result is a setting that feels equally suited to a sunset dinner overlooking the water or a lively evening that stretches well into the night, while maintaining the service and attention to detail that guests have come to associate with Saigon.

A Cairo Favourite, Now by the Sea

Since arriving at Fairmont Nile City, Saigon has established itself as one of Cairo’s notable Pan-Asian dining destinations, earning TripAdvisor’s “Best of the Best” recognition along the way. Known for its sophisticated surroundings, attentive service and contemporary take on Pan-Asian cuisine, the restaurant has become a familiar choice for diners looking for something beyond the ordinary. At Saigon by the Sea, guests can enjoy its signature menu of expertly prepared specialities in a new setting shaped by the Mediterranean coastline.

Summer Evenings at Masyaf

Part of the appeal of Saigon by the Sea lies in the change of scenery. Familiar flavours take on a different feel when enjoyed beside the Mediterranean, particularly as the day moves towards sunset. Whether settling in for dinner as the sky changes colour or joining friends for a livelier summer evening, the new venue brings together the culinary identity of Saigon with the social atmosphere of Masyaf, creating a dining experience designed for the season.

Fairmont Nile City’s Culinary Journey Continues

For Fairmont Nile City, the launch of Saigon by the Sea is part of a wider vision to allow its signature restaurants to exist as destinations in their own right. Rather than being limited to the hotel’s address on the banks of the Nile, its culinary concepts can now reach guests in some of Egypt’s most sought-after leisure destinations. By bringing Saigon to Ras El Hekma, Fairmont Nile City continues to build on its reputation for culinary excellence while introducing its hospitality and dining experiences to a new summer audience.

A New Summer Address on the North Coast

With its combination of Pan-Asian flavours, refined hospitality and a Mediterranean setting, Saigon by the Sea offers a fresh way to experience one of Fairmont Nile City’s best-known dining concepts. Open for the summer season from mid-July until the end of September, the destination invites guests to leave the city behind for an evening and discover Saigon from a new perspective, this time with the Mediterranean Sea as its backdrop.
