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

There simply isn’t a time like Ramadan in Cairo. The sacred month is celebrated across the region, but it’s not strange for Cairo to paint everything with its distinct colour, including Ramadan. The essence of the month is at its best and most charming in the capital. Everything comes to the surface, including the generosity and tight community feeling, the cherished gatherings of family and friends, the celebrations that have their roots with our ancestors from centuries past, and the traditions they have transmitted down to us. 

There is no place in Cairo where all of this is better highlighted than at Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza.

In case you even need a stronger persuasion to have your Ramadan getaway in the heart of Cairo, the hotel is launching their room packages with special rates starting at EGP 2,800++, including 25 per cent off Suhoor at Upper Deck and Pool Grill restaurants!

The hotel extends the warm, authentic ambience across its restaurants throughout the month, with generous spreads of all authentic delights. For example, with its original Egyptian design and spectacular Nile views, Zitouni restaurant features an extensive Ramadan Iftar buffet with a wide range of traditional Egyptian delicacies designed by Chef Emad Ebeid and the talented Four Seasons team to satisfy every taste among family and friends. 

Suhoor is no less special, with diverse menus and live performances under the shimmering sky of Cairo. Both Iftar and Suhoor are something else altogether at the Pool Grill and Upper Deck, where the homemade Ramadan dishes, desserts, and treats will set you right in the mood for the rest of the month. 

If you’re wondering how to spend the tranquil morning hours where the sun may be too strong outside, wonder no more! You’ll be able to feel the serene atmosphere of the holy month in the hotel’s spa. Whether through a Cleopatra bath, a Nefertari herbal massage, or any of their many rejuvenating treatments inspired by ancient Egypt’s rituals, you’ll feel yourself unwind alongside the serenity of the Nile as you look over it!

Suppose you can’t get enough of the Nile as a backdrop. In that case, you’ll also be able to enjoy its majesty by having Iftar on a felucca, just a street across from the Hotel, for an experience especially curated by the Four Seasons culinary team.

Then come the evenings, where the true magic of Ramdan crawls out! The city brims with festivities everywhere you look. From contemporary shows at Bayt Al Harawi and vibrant cultural evenings at the 14th-century House of Zainab Khatoon to charming Tanoura shows at the Al-Ghuri complex, there is more than enough for 30 nights out in the streets and cultural centres of Cairo. However, for a quieter evening full of observing the city and absorbing its natural air, Iftar strolls in the 1000-year-old Khan El Khalili market will definitely do the trick!
