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

As we enter into Egypt’s sizzling hot summer months, many are already planning their weekly beach getaways. But when the thought of spending hours on the road is just too much to bear, the Four Seasons First Residence is putting forward an alternative.

Located by the award-winning five-star hotel’s serene pool area, Aura is offering the kind of Cairo experience you won’t find just anywhere and this summer, the unique venue has had a little face-lift.

With a sleek and sexy new bar now acting as the centrepiece of the summery space, Aura offers a blend of the kind of exclusive luxury one has come to expect of the Four Seasons name with the kind laidback atmosphere that long, lazy, summer days in Cairo beg for.

Whether you’re looking for the full dining experience or laidback liaison with friends, Aura offers a fine-dining Levantine menu and a quality selection of shisha, as well as stylish private cabanas with personal TV screens and of course the hotel’s stunning trademark Nile view.

 

Also home of acclaimed restaurants such as STRADA, the hotel’s pedigree when it comes to food and drink is among the best in the city and Aura is no different, thanks in particular to its delicious hot and cold mezzahs and its live bread-making station and brick oven, as well as its signature dishes, including the Fatta Shawerma, grilled specialities, and desserts like its Konafa Nabolseya, Booza and even its Molten Date Cake.

Open for both lunch and dinner, Aura is sophisticated, but warm; stylish, but inviting; luxurious, but oh so comfy – something that seems will be a key feature this summer at the Four Seasons First Residence.
