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

February is here, and we all know what it’s famous for: Valentine’s Day. Beware all couples, now comes the time for preparation, dinner reservations, sweet gifts, and any other gesture, grand or small, you may want/need to do for your significant other. It’s never too early to start planning.

Speaking of grand gestures, one venue – which is going all in – is Royal Maxim Palace Kempinski Cairo. February is not just a month with a day dedicated to love; they claim it to be the Month of Love. In keeping with this tag line, and especially since the couples who eat together, stay together, the folks at Royal Maxim Palace Kempinski Cairo have decided to prepare special dinner set menus for loving couples, running through the entire month.

Kempinski is serving up four signature date nights, for your choosing. On Saturdays, you get to embrace romance with a Romanov dinner (EGP 1200++); a four-course meal featuring a juicy Chateaubriand, and the magical tunes of a violin. Sundays are for dining your heart out with Yana (EGP 760++), an Asian four-course meal alongside melodies of a harpist.

You can also eat with your heart at Lucca dinner (EGP 650++) on Tuesdays with a three-course Italian meal, featuring no other than Joe the Guitarist. Finally, Thursdays give you the choice of sharing the love in an Arabian fable with Bab Al Qasr dinner (EGP 700++); a four-course Lebanese meal combined with an exciting oriental cabaret lineup. All prices are per couple.

So, are you ready to spread your love for your better half over the whole month? Or are you committed to a one-day celebration?
