The Hilton’s special room rates will give you all the rest and relaxation you need; prices start from 559LE per person (taxes including) with a lavish breakfast buffet and that oh so gorgeous Nile view included.

There’s more fun to be had, though, on the first and second day of Eid, too, at one of the hotel’s newest venues. BREEZES Lounge & Grill has been something of Cairo hotspot this summer (you might have seen the #BreezesByTheNile hashtag strewn across Instagram) and things are heating up even more this Eid with a special BBQ for both lunch and dinner. For 288LE++ per person, you’ll feast on a selection of hot and cold mezzas, mixed grill & Oriental desserts. Yum. For reservations at BREEZES, call 010-222-18977,

But wait – did you think that was it? There’s also the matter of a little soiree taking place at the hotel’s ballroom with a sizzling line-up that includes belly-dancing star, Dina, sultry songstress, Poussy, and the veritable one man party that is Ahmed Shiba as part of the line-up. Taking place on Monday 4th September at 11PM, prices for his extravaganza of food, drink and entertainment start at 1500LE.
