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

Once all the festive songs start playing on the radio and the decorations come out, we know Ramadan is near! As we prepare to welcome the Holy Month, it can be easy to get stressed out as you frantically plan gatherings and prepare food. Luckily, Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria is here to bring out the joy of Ramadan while you and your loved ones enjoy all they have to offer without lifting a finger.

This month of fasting, giving, and sharing is held dearly in our hearts, and the traditions developed in Egypt years ago still remain present to this day. The expert staff at the Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria is here to ensure that those precious traditions are still around for you and your friends or family to enjoy.

Each table and hallway around the hotel is beautifully decorated with Ramadan lanterns, one of the most renowned symbols of the month. The same lanterns that were used during the early days of Islam for lighting at night to go to mosques and visit friends and relatives are still lighting your path now.

Food is also an essential part of Ramadan, and there’s plenty of it at the Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria. Their Executive Pastry Chef is inviting guests to indulge in a selection of Kunafa from around the world made with cheese, nuts, or chocolate. Kunafa is another symbol of the Holy Month with origins that trace back to the Ottoman Empire. Nowadays, this delectable dessert can be found on just about every street corner, with tons of shops specialising in it.

Don’t miss out and experience this rich culture when you have Iftar at Kala or Byblos restaurant. Guests can also enjoy a friendly Sohour gathering at Shisha Lounge. The culinary team has carefully crafted menus made with love and passion.
