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

Every year, and as the holidays season approaches, we keep our eyes peeled for the range of Christmas celebrations and offers at Four Season Cairo at Nile Plaza; we know quite well that the luxury hotel serves some of the season’s best festive events in Cairo.

In addition to its usual range of excellent Christmas and New Year’s celebrations, Four Seasons Cairo at Nile Plaza has yet another delightful event up its sleeve this year – their annual Christmas Market, which is set to take place at the rooftop pool area, from the 13th to the 25th of December.

From 12.00 to 10.00 PM, the Christmas Market at Four Seasons Cairo at Nile Plaza guarantees a jolly, merry time to all family members. They’ll be gathering a host of local handicrafts that could make the perfect Christmas gift, as well as daily live entertainment, including live entertainment, and a DJ that’ll spin your favourite tunes from 2.00 to 9.00 PM.

We can’t mention Christmas without bringing up the word ‘food’; Christmas Market features a spectrum of food and beverages that will put a smile on every face. The market’s live-cooking stations include items from the special à la carte menu, like root chips, savoury waffles, sweet crepes, and tacos.

The savoury waffles come in a diversity of flavours, including smoked salmon, pastrami, and cream cheese, while the many toppings of the crepes will have you dazzled; from cream, chocolate, nuts, and marshmallow, to a range of fruits, jams, and sauces. There’s also a special corner, where you can get the Christmas all-time-favourite mulled wine, Gluhwein.

Speaking of Christmas classics, the hotel’s renowned Pastry Chef Yehia Ahmed is also stepping in with a colourful range of traditional desserts, that you can also take home to extend the joy of a fun day at the market. The festive goodies include items like spicy apple tarts, candied fruit, Panettone (Italian Christmas bread), salted nuts, and many more.

That’s not all, because Santa is visiting the market for an exclusive meet & greet on the 24th (from 6.00 to 10.00 PM), and on the 25th of December (from 12.00 to 4.00 PM).
