The Nile Ritz-Carlton Team Up with Egyptian Orphanages for Festive Initiative

With Christmas and New Year just around the corner, the festive spirit has begun seeping into Cairo. But beyond the trees and tinsel, The Nile Ritz-Carlton Cairo is channelling another side of the holiday season with a special initiative.

In collaboration with Christian and Muslim orphanages around the city, the Downtown hotel is giving Cairenes a chance to bring a little joy to displaced children. Having hosted a special Christmas tree lighting ceremony on Friday 16 December, the hotel’s magnificent White Wishing Tree was unveiled to visitors.

What’s special about this tree is that it holds on its branches the wishes of tens of orphans and between this Friday and the first week of January, the hotel will be accepting donations which will go straight to the underprivileged kids. Visitors can either make a money donation at the front desk or, even better, you can buy a specific gift based on one of the wishes and have it delivered to the orphanage via the hotel.

Find out more about the donations at the front desk.
