New Year’s parties are festive opportunities to usher in the start of a new year, they are a time for people to come together, reflect on the past year, and look forward to the possibilities that the upcoming year may bring. Though most of us prefer travelling during this time, for many, it simply isn’t an option. So for those staying in Cairo, here are some New Year’s events and parties to help you ring in the new year in style.
