Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza Offers a Festive Break to Remember in the Heart of Egypt's Capital

With gorgeous sunny weather and endless celebration options, a festive holiday in Cairo is always unique. You will not find snow-covered trees and below-zero temperatures; instead, you will enjoy plenty of festive magic that flows through the vibrant city of Cairo with gifts underneath the Christmas trees, fairy lights and the long-awaited visit of Santa Claus.

This year, the list of celebrations at Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza will help make the city a winter wonderland throughout December with the vast array of decorations and festivities. From meeting Santa and his reindeer to celebratory dinners and scooping up crafty authentic gifts at the Hotel's annual Christmas Market.

Feel the sights, sounds and flavours of the holiday season at Cairo's celebrated Christmas Market, which is set to welcome guests by the Hotel's rooftop pool from 13 to 25 December. The pool area will be transformed into a glistening winter wonderland where guests can peruse stalls full of festive treats, Christmas goodies and homemade delicacies. A live band will also get market-goers in the festive spirit with seasonal classics. On 24 and 25 December, Santa will be busy spreading happiness and joy among our little guests, roaming around with delicious treats.

While Santa may still be working with his elves to load up his sleigh, Pastry Chef Yehia Ahmed and his masterful team will be creating a culinary storm and serving a spread of special holiday-themed treats, goodies and delectable Christmas cakes at Beymen Café. Available exclusively from 20 to 31 December, gourmet highlights will include traditional Panettone, Stollen cake and Speculoos cookies.

The excitement will continue to build in the run-up to Christmas Eve on 24 December, when guests will be spoilt with festive dining experiences crafted by Executive Chef Gianluca Visani. From a classic Christmas dinner buffet at Zitouni serving all the festive favourites to a five-course Italian feast at Bella or a six-course Chinese extravaganza at 8, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Guests will also have the option to dine at Upper Deck while listening to DJ tunes, or at The Bar for a set menu with live piano music.

Warm-up in the cosy atmosphere of Zitouni restaurant on Christmas Day on 25 December, where guests will be invited to indulge in a hearty lunch buffet laced with intricate age-old Egyptian recipes as well as popular always-on-demand dishes paired with magical views of the Nile.

Guests can bid a final farewell to 2019 and spend the evening digging into exquisite feasts at Zitouni, Bella, 8, Upper Deck on New Year's Eve. Alternatively, chocolate fanatics can be sure to satiate their sweet tooth with a celebratory chocolate-themed buffet at the Lobby Lounge's Chocolate Bar.
