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

There is something unmistakably magical about Ramadan in Cairo, the softened rhythm at sunset, the hushed anticipation before the call to prayer, and the way the city awakens once longer after nightfall.

At The Nile Ritz-Carlton, Cairo, overlooking the historic Egyptian Museum, the holy month unfolds in a seamless harmony of refined elegance, heartfelt warmth, and thoughtfully curated details. 

From refined Iftar experiences to vibrant Suhour gatherings and restorative spa rituals, the hotel offers a setting where tradition is honored with understated sophistication.

An Exquisite Iftar Experience at Culina 

Each evening from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm, Culina on the Lobby Floor welcomes guests for Iftar in a setting framed by views of the Egyptian Museum and accompanied by live oriental performances.

The experience unfolds at an unhurried pace. Live cooking stations showcase Arabic classics alongside international dishes, prepared with precision and presented with care. Fresh salads, warm breads and a generous dessert selection complete the spread, creating a table that feels abundant yet thoughtfully curated.

It is the kind of Iftar that encourages guests to linger, not simply to dine, but to savour the atmosphere as much as the flavours.

An Exclusive Turkish Culinary Experience

From 26th February to 13th March 2026, Culina adds something a little different to the Iftar table. Two Turkish sous chefs, Erdi Yıldırım and Yücel Demir, arrive from Turkey for a limited-edition Turkish/Ottoman-inspired experience.

Rooted in Ottoman culinary heritage, the chefs present dishes rooted in tradition yet refined in execution. Rich spices, slow-cooked specialities and carefully balanced flavours bring depth to the Ramadan table, offering guests a distinctive alternative within the familiar rhythm of Iftar.
