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

In another of the new categories in the 2015 edition of the Cairo 360 Editors’ Choice Awards, we salute the very best salons, spas and beauty parlours in a city where image rules all. But more than just make-up and hair, these winners recognise that beauty and wellness is as much internal as it is external.

Egypt’s capital is a vibrant lively place to live, but the city’s breakneck-speed can be exhausting and these venues offer stellar services to help heal mind, body and soul. Congratulations to all the winners in what was one of the more discussed and argued categories this year.
