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

As a recipient of several Cairo 360 Editors’ Choice Awards, the Cairo Conrad Hotel has come to be one of the best around when it comes to dining and hospitality. With the likes of Oak Grill, Solana and Jayda among the hotel’s restaurants, it’s actually also become somewhat of a hot spot for foodies. Yes, these are some of the finest fine-dining restaurants in the city and it’s something that has been carried over into Conrad’s Ramadan offers in spectacular style. So, behold – you’re perfect Ramadan experience awaits…

Solana Restaurant’s Big Fetar Buffet

Prepared at the skilful hands of Executive Chef, Paolo Rocco, Solana is the perfect choice for fetar for those that like a little bit (or a lot) of everything. For 235LE++ per person, hungry fasters can dive into a whole array of salads, cold and hot mezzes and wholesome mains. Throw in the spectacular Nile view and you have a feast fit for a king. What’s more is that some special entertainment nights are set to welcome shaabi stars like Mahmoud El Leithy and Abdel Baset Hamouda as well as other festive fun, such as tannoura dancers.

Lebanese Love at Jayda

Our cool cousins over in Lebanon know a thing or two about food. While the debate over whether Egyptian or Lebanese cuisine is better will rage on till the end of time, there aren’t many cuisine better suited to Ramadan than that of the Levant. Offering both fetar and sohour, the gem that is Jayda has it all – including as stunning a Nile view as that of Solana. No Ramadan experience would be complete without some recreational indulgence in molasses-based water-pipes, of course, and Jayda is obliging with some special shisha packages. Perfect for a relaxed evening with friends and family.

Corporate Fetar & Sohour

No matter how you feel about your colleagues, a company outing during Ramadan always produces some memorable water-cooler talk the next day. How the actual night will go is up to you, but Conrad has several special menus that you and said colleagues can choose from; covering both the more traditional family-style Ramadan feasting, or an extravagant and seemingly infinite buffet.

Delicious Desserts

If no Ramadan experience is complete without shisha, then it certainly isn’t complete without Oriental desserts. We’re not talking about the Frankenstein mishmash approach that has come to be popular these days – but some truly authentic, quality classics, which are readily available during the month at Atrium Lobby Lounge. Crispy golden konafa oozing with rich cream? Check. Sweetly glazed baklava with aromatic shavings of fresh pistachio? Check. Lush, toothsome basboosa? Check.
