Win! Six-Week Yoga & Meditation Course at Shanti Yoga Cairo!
Shockingly, there’s still much stigma around the practice of yoga despite its proven effects. What it’s most useful for in a city like Cairo is anxiety and mood. Think of yoga as the tourniquet that nurses the open wound that is ‘Cairo Stress’; a new phrase that we just made up, because there really isn’t anything that doesn’t stress, retard and maim mind, body and soul like daily life in Cairo does.It’s for this reason that y’all should be excited about Cairo 360’s newest competition.

Win! Dinner for Two at Torii Sushi!
Cairo has many mistresses; one of watch seems to be of an Asian disposition. We are of course talking gastronomically. Cairo loves Asian cuisine, none more so than the delights of Japan. Sushi, in all of its glory, is still somewhat of a acquired taste. Egyptian cuisine usually sees its meats cooked to death, so the idea of eating raw fish is still understandably a strange one. Sushi is one of those things that have to be done properly; anything less than perfect is unacceptable. We have a venue that takes that to heart.What? Cairo 360 and the Cairo Marriott Hotel is giving one lucky reader the chance to feast on dinner for two at Torii. Why? Because Sushi is excellent and anyone that doesn’t like it is a fool.Where? As one of the Marriott’s myriad of restaurants, Torii presents Sushi and other Japanese delights in a slick, laid back setting.How do I get my hands on it? It’s easy!

When Cairo 360 sent its exercise-phobic reviewer to Oxygen, the customary ‘Best Bit’ stated the following: 'Oxygen has got the full package; friendly staff, clean and modern equipment and pampering facilities for its members'. More than a year-and-a-half later, this bold statement still rings true. To celebrate this seldom found consistency and high quality in our frustrating but beloved city, Cairo 360 and Oxygen have teamed up to give one lucky reader the chance to get a little taste of gym bliss. What? The brains and brawn behind Oxygen are celebrating 2012 by giving a lucky Cairene a free inclusive one-month membership. Why? Because you’re out of shape and ugly. Just kidding!
