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

In addition to boasting a breathtaking location in Garden City that comes with an equally enchanting view of the River Nile, Kempinski Nile Hotel Garden City knows how to pamper its guests with its topnotch facilities, culinary outlets and outstanding hospitality.

This month, the Garden City hotel celebrates Mother’s Day, and women in general, with March of Joy, a host of offers that do justice to all women in the city. On the ground floor, Chocolate Lounge presents the Nutella edition of the classic Italian dessert Couronne Banane (golden-brown puff pastry rolled over Nutella and banana). If the name doesn’t ring a bell, Chocolate Lounge takes it up another notch, serving a quality Belgian chocolate dip on the side.

Celebrations extend to the mezzanine level, where modern Mediterranean-cuisine restaurant Blue Restaurant & Grill celebrates Mother’s Day with a complimentary lunch or dinner to mums dining among a group of four. On the same floor, Turkish restaurant Osmanly delivers the 16th-century Kuzu Kebab, in which tender chops of slow-cooked lamb meat go hand in hand with perfectly cooked rice.

On floor 10, Jazz Baron hosts a special All-You-Can-Eat sushi buffet every Thursday, where a colourful spectrum of the Japanese delicacy awaits. You can also enjoy this offer while contemplating Cairo’s skyline and the view of the Nile at Kempinski Nile Hotel Garden City Cairo’s The Roof Top.

Speaking of which, The Roof Top’s bar staff display their skills, serving a punch bowl for two to share, where juices meet alcohol and fruit. The celebrations extend to the hotel’s spa, which offers a special package for Mother’s Day, including a 50-minute full-body massage and a 30-minute scrub, in addition to a mini facial.

Now that’s Mother’s Day done right.
