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

The most wonderful time of the year is upon us, and although 2020 was not particularly a walk in the park, Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza is ending it on a high note. Rest assured that you and your loved ones will be able to experience the joy of Christmas, then countdown to – a hopefully brighter – new year within the safe spaces of Four Seasons. Here is your guide to this year’s Christmas and New Year’s Eve festivities…

Santa’s Visit

Let’s start with Santa! We know you would all like to have a word with him, but let the children make their wishes on the 24^th and the 25^th of December during his annual visit at the hotel’s lobby. We guess you can check with Santa if he can take special requests after the kids are done!

Italy’s Bullona

You can dig into an Italian dinner at Bullona restaurant, made up of a five-course set menu, on Christmas Eve for 1750+++ LE. The dinner is served from 7:00 PM to 12:00 AM, and DJ Ben will keep the spirits upbeat with a special set.

As for New Year’s, you can sit down with your favourite people and indulge in a five-course set menu for 1950+++ LE served from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM. But if you think you might be a little hungrier, then you can opt for the six-course set menu served from 10:30 PM to 1:00 AM (and you’ll get to catch the countdown… Pucker up!) for 2450+++ LE. DJ Ben will also be behind the decks, dropping one mix after another to the countdown and beyond.

To put some hype into the holidays, international DJ Ben takes the stage from the 24th of December to the 2nd of January, and his lively beats are bound to carry everyone into the late-night celebrations all week long.

China’s Eight

If you turn the number eight horizontally, it’s becomes the sign for infinity, and you can channel those eternal, everlasting moments with the people you love most at 8 restaurant. The holiday experience features a Christmas Eve dinner (five-course set menu) for 1600+++ LE served from 7:00 PM to 12:00 AM, along with two options for New Year’s Eve dinners. The first sitting is from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM and features a five-course set menu for 1750+++ LE, while the second seating lasts from 10:00 to 1:00 AM and features a six-course set menu for 1950 +++ LE.

Beymen café will serve you all that your heart desires from traditional panettone, stollen cake, and speculoos cookies, prepared by Chef Yehia Ahmed and his culinary team, every day from the 20^th to the 31^st of December.

La Galerie
