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

Standing tall, looking down at all that is beneath it in the hustle and bustle of Downtown Cairo, The Ramses Hilton is one of the most enduring hotels in the city. Once you shake of the colourful haze of its surroundings, the hotel transports you to a serene haven for all things luxurious – whether you’re a foodie looking for a top quality meal and some Instagrammable material, or, what we like to call, a ‘relaxer’, whose idea of heaven is pool time in the sun.

This Easter, The Ramses Hilton is channelling both of these things and more, with special offers for those that won’t be hitting the road and heading to a beach over the long weekend.

First up, Monday 17th will see the hotel host a lavish Sham El Nessim Family Brunch at Breezes Lounge & Grill. Overlooking the Nile, you can expect food from all across the world alongside some delicious BBQ, live entertainment and even a special kids’ corner. It costs just 299LE (inclusive of service charge at and taxes) per person, while children between 6 and 12 years get a 50% discounts and kids under the age of six are free of charge. For reservations, call 0102-221-8977.

If that’s not enough, then you can head over to the coffee cart in the hotel lobby for chocolate bunnies, coloured eggs and other festive treats.

The big one at The Ramses Hilton, though, is its special Sham El Nessim room offer. Available on Sunday 16^th and starting from only 828LE (including service charge and taxes) per person, you’ll also get breakfast, have access to the brunch and maybe sneak away from the family for that pool time we mentioned earlier. Don’t feel guilty – you deserve it. For reservations, call 02-2394-7070 or click here.
