Four Seasons Nile Plaza Knows You’re Here for the Molokhiya and Mezza

Ramadan in Cairo shifts the city’s rhythm—lantern-lit streets, late-night gatherings, and feasts that stretch past midnight. It’s the sound of laughter over clinking teacups, the swirl of shisha in the air, and the slow-cooked dishes that define tradition.

At Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza, the only question is where to start. Zitouni plates up Egyptian comfort food that feels like home. Byblos leans into generous Lebanese mezze and expertly grilled meats. By the pool, Sohour unfolds at an unhurried pace, where Cairo’s night owls settle in under the stars. From slow-braised lamb to crisp, golden kunafa, every table has a seat waiting.

Zitouni

Chef Moataz Said knows not to mess with a good thing—he just refines it. Lamb shanks are slow-braised until fork-tender, molokhia is velvety with deep garlicky richness, and fattah layers crisp pita with fragrant rice and warm, spiced ghee. At Zitouni, tradition also gets a thoughtful twist—especially when it comes to dessert. This year, Maamoul takes center stage in three variations: the classic, a rich Pistachio Kunafa version, and an unexpected but irresistible Peanut Butter take.

Byblos & Upper Deck Lounge

If Lebanese food is your love language, Byblos speaks it fluently. Mezze arrives generous and meant for lingering, with warm, pillowy bread. Grilled meats are perfectly charred, their juices sealed in by smoldering coals. Prefer a modern setting? Upper Deck Lounge pairs sleek ambiance with live music and a well-crafted shisha experience that makes time slip away.

The Pool

Sohour is often a race—eat now or hold out? By the pool, there’s no rush. Whether you’re unwinding after Iftar or waiting until the last minute, this is where Cairo’s night owls settle in. Unhurried plates of Middle Eastern classics, laid-back conversations, and shisha curling into the skyline. 

La Galerie

Ramadan desserts pose a choice—indulge after Iftar or wait until you have room, risking an empty tray? At La Galerie, either way, you won’t miss out. Lokmat Al-Kadi is crisp and golden, and this Ramadan, it comes with a twist—three flavors to choose from: the classic, a nutty Pistachio upgrade, and a bright, tangy Raspberry version. Qatayef is delicately filled, and Arabic coffee is served strong and simple—just as it should be.
