Cairo Marriott Hotel Just Made Ramadan Easier for the Chronically Inde
Ramadan in Cairo is all about the sensory experience, and Cairo Marriott Hotel promises just that in a grand setting.
Ramadan in Cairo is a city-wide production—lanterns glowing, tables stretching long into the night, and a rhythm that picks up after dark. At the Cairo Marriott, the month unfolds in grand Iftars, lingering Sohours, and settings that range from regal to laid-back.
This year, they're serving something for every mood—family-style indulgence at Omar Khayyam, nostalgia-fueled nights at Egyptian Nights, and the kind of palace dining that feels straight out of another era at El Saraya in Abdeen Palace. Prefer something private? Ballroom Iftars and intimate group gatherings are on the menu, while the Garden Promenade delivers open-air evenings that stretch into Sohour. And because no Ramadan is complete without a sugar rush, their bakery is rolling out classic Kahk and Eid sweets just in time for mid-month cravings.
However you take your Ramadan—lavish, laid-back, or somewhere in between—Cairo Marriott has a table set.
Omar Khayyam
A rotating lineup of family-style Iftars, where cold and hot mezze lead into fragrant tagines, flame-grilled meats, and rich Ramadan desserts. Live cooking stations serve fresh Molokhia and sautéed liver—because no Iftar is complete without the classics. Egyptian Nights
An à la carte menu from 6 PM featuring Ramadan staples, with Suhoor kicking off at 10 PM. Think family-style spreads, live cooking stations, and traditional entertainment that stretch the night well past midnight. El Saraya at Abdeen Palace
El Saraya at Abdeen Palace offers a refined setting for Iftar and Suhoor, with menus crafted by the Cairo Marriott Hotel—once El Gezira Palace. Built by Khedive Ismail, both palaces share a legacy of hospitality, making this a unique space to gather and celebrate Ramadan in a historic atmosphere. El Saraya Gallery
For a more intimate experience, Saraya Gallery offers a pre-ordered family-style menu in a regal setting. Private Group Iftars
For those planning a private gathering, Cairo Marriott's ballrooms are open for exclusive Iftar celebrations. At 'Egyptian Nights,' groups of 25 or more can book a family-style menu made for sharing. Ramadan Sweets & Bakery
Freshly made kunafa, atayef, and seasonal sweets are on the menu all month, with the bakery shifting to Eid classics—Kahk, Ghorayeba, and Petit Fours—as Ramadan winds down. For bookings and further details, please call 0227283000 or 0227394631.

Sherine Abdel Wahab and Mohamed Fadel Shaker to Close Mawazine Festival with a Star-Studded Night
The 20th edition of Morocco's Mawazine Festival is set to wrap up spectacularly on Saturday, June 28, with two generations of musical talent sharing the spotlight at the Nahda stage: superstar Sherine Abdel Wahab and rising artist Mohamed Fadel Shaker. For Sherine, the night marks a highly anticipated comeback to Mawazine after a nine-year hiatus—her last performance at the festival was in 2016. Known for her powerful voice and emotional connection with fans, Sherine is preparing a magical set filled with surprises and fan-favorite hits to celebrate the Moroccan audience that has always embraced her. Her recent success during Ramadan, including her songs featured in the hit series 'Ekhwaty' and a standout ad campaign, has only heightened anticipation for her return. Mohamed Fadel Shaker, who will be sharing the night with Sherine, will be making his official Mawazine debut as a solo artist. Thirteen years ago, he appeared on the same stage as a young boy alongside his father, legendary singer Fadel Shaker, performing the emotional duet 'Rouh.' That memorable concert was his father's last major public appearance before retiring from the spotlight, making Mohamed's return to that stage especially symbolic. With Sherine headlining and Mohamed opening the evening, June 28 promises to be a night to remember—an unforgettable celebration of Arab music, legacy, and fresh talent lighting up the grand finale of Mawazine 2025.

Backstage: Ahmed Eid at Nawafiz Festival
Ahmed Eid uses music to tell layered, political stories and calls for louder voices and unity in difficult times. Jun 17, 2025 Palestinian multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Ahmed Eid operates from a space where music is a form of communication. For Eid, the role of the musician exists somewhere between a messenger and a magician. There's always a message that needs to be delivered, but in a way that cuts through tactfully, especially in a time where art and politics can no longer be separated. Ahead of his live performance at Nawafiz festival in Utrecht, the Netherlands, we caught up with Eid, who shed some insight into his approach and messaging. His songwriting doesn't lean on slogans or direct language. Instead, it unfolds through layered, sometimes metaphorical storytelling. There's often a political current running through the work, but it doesn't announce itself loudly, with the emotion, detail, and context doing all the talking. Splitting his time between Palestine and Germany, Eid is no stranger to the ways repression and censorship can show up. He's seen firsthand how European institutions try to silence voices like his, which only strengthens his conviction to speak louder, clearer, and more collectively. This is why Eid states that it is more important than ever for artists to raise their voices even louder, and for Arab communities to come together in these difficult times.

4 Reasons Why We're Excited About Lam Shamseya
Every Ramadan, certain TV series stand out before they even premiere—whether due to a compelling storyline, a strong cast, or themes that spark discussion. This year, Lam Shamseya is already generating buzz even before its release, for its psychological depth and its bold approach to sensitive societal issues. While details remain limited, the series is expected to tackle complex relationships and emotional struggles, with hints of darker themes. Here are four reasons why it's one of the most anticipated shows of the second part of Ramadan. A Gripping and Mysterious Storyline Although the full plot hasn't been revealed yet, the trailer hints at a major conflict that shakes the lives of the main characters. There's tension, emotional confrontations, and a sense of urgency that makes us eager to see how the story unfolds. What exactly happened? How will the characters navigate the challenges ahead? The mystery is already drawing us in. A Strong Cast and Crew Collaboration One of the biggest reasons for the hype is the reunion of director Karim El Shennawy with Amina Khalil and Mohamed Shahin, following their success in El Harsha El Sab3a. Their previous collaboration delivered a raw and emotional portrayal of modern relationships, and fans are eager to see how they bring the same depth to Lam Shamseya. With a talented ensemble cast and a skilled creative team, the series promises strong performances and powerful storytelling. A Fusion of Genres From the trailer, Lam Shamsiya appears to blend different genres, combining elements of drama, suspense, and emotional storytelling. This fusion keeps the series dynamic and engaging, offering moments of intensity, heartfelt emotion, and intrigue all in one. By balancing multiple tones, the show has the potential to appeal to a wide audience and keep viewers hooked throughout Ramadan. A Unique and Unconventional Ramadan Drama Since the show's announcement and the buzz around its proposition of a storyline involving pedophilia, audiences have been eager to see how it will tackle such a sensitive and complex theme. With trailers and promotional material revealing little, anticipation and curiosity continue to build. What's clear, however, is that Lam Shamseya is not a typical Ramadan series—it seeks to push boundaries and deliver deeper storytelling than what viewers are accustomed to during the season. Do you think Lam Shamsiya will be one of Ramadan's most talked-about series?
