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

It seems like the whole world has dropped everything to keep their eyes, literally, on the ball. Well, you can’t blame them, for one of the world’s most highly-anticipated sporting events, World Cup 2018, is taking place right now in Russia.

Of course, it would’ve been quite an excitement to head to where the games are being played, but then again, there are many perks of watching the game somewhere else, where excitement meets comfort and style. And that’s exactly what Downtown’s hotel, Conrad Cairo, is offering.

Labelled under the name Festival of Football, Conrad Cairo brings a unique World Cup experience at two of its venues, Stage One Lounge and Jayda Nile Terrace. You can catch daytime games at Stage One Lounge, where all you need is your spirit and cheering kit while Executive Chef Paolo takes care of the food, presenting an array of irresistible savoury snacks for you to munch on, plus a variety of beef sliders, chicken shawarma, and sushi.

When the evening games begin, the hotel’s Oriental restaurant, Jayda Nile Terrace, takes it to the open air, where flavoursome shisha, delicious Egyptian delicacies and refreshing drinks and cocktails are served, all in a setting that boasts the magnificent Nile view as a backdrop.

The festival runs until the end of the tournament. For more information and reservations call 02-2580-8481.
