With Eid Al Fitr just around the corner, it can be challenging to get back on track to life as we know it before Ramadan. And though Eid break calls for traveling and escaping the concrete jungle, keeping up with the post-Ramadan routine can leave you stuck in Cairo. But Cairo doesn’t sound so bland when Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at The First Residence is giving us not one but two ways to spend Eid El Fitr there by the enchanting view of the Nile.

You can celebrate Eid El Fitr with family, friends and loved ones in Zoe restaurant on Four Seasons First Nile Boat. On the upper deck of the extravagant boat, a lavish Eid buffet with a Mediterranean twist awaits the guests. The barbecue corner offers both local and regional grilled meat dishes such as the flavored lamb ouzi. An exceptional display of fresh seafood, carefully-picked international salads, mezze, a live beef gyrators station, and freshly crafted pasta and risotto stations are also served with a view.

For the dessert station, you’ll get to have an array of mouth-watering Arabic sweets and pastries, like k’aak – a type of biscuit that is eaten across the Arab world to celebrate Eid El Fitr. It is covered with powdered sugar and can be stuffed with walnuts, pistachios, dates, or just plain. You can have your Eid brunch at Zoe restaurant starting from the first day of Eid from 1:00 until 6:00 pm for EGP 700, applicable to service charges and taxes.

If you don’t fancy boats, you can always celebrate Eid in La Gourmandise, at Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at The First Residence where you get to enjoy an international buffet inspired by both the hotel and boat’s various cookeries. At La Gourmandise, you can relish a wide variety of cuisines, ranging from Lebanese to Italian, pan-Asian, Brazilian, and Greek.

“Once again, the Eid buffet at La Gourmandise will be one of the most extravagant in the city,” says Executive Chef Erwan Laurenceau. “The buffet will include grills, several carving stations including lamb and turkey, a dedicated Indian corner serving biryani and curries, an Italian corner serving freshly made pizzas, pasta and risottos, Egyptian favorites such as molokhia and a Fattah station, a wide variety of salads and Lebanese mezze, freshly baked bread and international desserts and Arabic sweets. Our varied offerings are unlike any other in the city, making it the perfect place for families and friends to gather.”

Hurry up and savor your Eid brunch with your loved ones in La Gourmandise at Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at The First Residence on the second day of Eid from 1:00 until 6:00 pm, with prices of EGP 700 subject to applicable taxes and service charges.

We saved the best for last, as we come bearing good news that children aged 6 to 12 years old enjoy 50 percent off on buffet prices, and Eid dining is complimentary for kids aged five and below. So you can have the best of fun with everyone around you!
