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

Summer is bidding us a fond farewell, and we’ll no longer be swimming through the waves in Sahel, or partying on its hot sandy beaches. However, we can still enjoy the beautiful sea view in Alexandria. Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria have upped the ante with their unique style, giving vacationers a chance to relax on the weekends in their comfortable and luxurious beach suites.

The stress of our work weeks can be intolerable, but with a destination such as Alexandria (that is only two hours away from Cairo) the idea of a weekend getaway becomes more and more appealing. Then it develops into being irresistible with Four Seasons.

Beach suites are on offer as one or two-bedroom suites, and include a living room, powder room, bedroom with private bathroom, and, our favourite, a large terrace with a brilliant view of the Mediterranean Sea.

While the suite will be difficult to leave, there are things that will tempt you to do so. Head towards the Beach Restaurant and Lounge, and you can enjoy an upscale Alexandrian experience with an a la carte menu, including innovative and premium seafood dishes. If you’re looking for something different, the Shisha Lounge awaits; a cosy ambiance where you can sip on exotic cocktails, relax with flavoursome shisha, all with a view of the Mediterranean. It’s perfect for mornings, brilliant for sunsets, and beautiful in the evening.

If you’re travelling with your spouse, you can add a twist of romance to your getaway with a fairytale dinner by the beach. Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria know how to create the right atmosphere for love birds, with classics like flowers and candles, plus the most delicious dishes you can imagine, all served to you in an intimate private pergola.
