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

There’s one thing we know for sure about the Semiramis InterContinental Cairo; it’s one of the best in the city when it comes to dining. Whether you’re looking for some authentic Thai food, hearty Italian dishes or Lebanese nibbles, the Semiramis InterContinental rarely disappoints.

It’s this gastronomic spirit that is being channelled this Ramadan, with the Garden City hotel set to host an eclectic range of options for food-lovers, starting with one of the top tents in Cairo…

Fawanees

Having been a runaway success last year, Semiramis’ spin on the traditional kheima is back. Located once again at the open-air venue, the Nile Terrace, the ultimate Ramadan experience awaits you for both fetar and sohour, with large TV screen ensuring you don’t miss a second of this year’s avalanche of mosalsalat as well as top-notch shisha and live entertainment.

Multi-Ethnic Fetar at Night & Day

Who said Ramadan was all about sambousak and vine leaves? If you’ve ever gone to Night & Day’s weekly brunch buffets, you’ll understand that hunger knows no creed or nationality. This Ramadan, for 345LE++, you can dive head first into an fetar buffet that will take you on a culinary trip around the world.

Ramadan the Italian Way

When you think about it, there’s quite a bit that Italian and Middle Eastern cuisine share – an instinctive love for breads and pastas, for example. This Ramadan, Chef Giovanni Romagnoli and the Pane Vino team are set to cook up a storm in the form of an authentically Italian fetar set menu for 300LE++ per person.

Lebanese Flair at Sabaya

You’re looking for something a bit closer to home to break your fast with, aren’t you? That’s ok, because Semiramis’ Lebanese restaurant, Sabaya, is doing Ramadan in its own way, offering set menus for both fetar and sohour for 300LE++ that you can thank Chef Walid Baz for.

Fetar with a Twist at The Grill Restaurant & Lounge

Still looking for something extra? Something a little bit different? Look no further than The Grill’s fetar set menus. Starting from 500LE++ per person, you can indulge in the restaurant’s signature dishes – if you ask us, we love the poached chicken in almond sauce.

But the folks at the Semiramis are feeling even more festive than that and are offering Cairenes to win some rather tasty goodies through daily rewards that range from sohours at Fawanees, luncheons or dinners at Night & Day, Pane Vino, Nile Terrace or Sabaya, to one night stays and even a dream family getaway to stay at the luxurious InterContinental Dubai Marina with complimentary breakfast and tickets to Dubai Parks & Resort. You can find out more about it here.
