Cairo Marriott Debuts Two New Breakfast Experiences For Summer
The Cairo Marriott is introducing two new ways to start the day - and they're worth setting that alarm. May 05, 2025 At the Cairo Marriott, breakfast isn't trying to reinvent itself. It's just finally being done right. Two new morning menus - one Egyptian, one European - are now being served, and they're making the case for skipping room service entirely. Breakfast at Egyptian Nights is exactly what it sounds like: the local breakfast, done properly. No gimmicks. Just warm feteer that tears the way it should, ta'meya still hot from the pan, and a mezze lineup that actually earns the table space. The setting - either inside the gilded dining room or outside under morning sun - is half the experience. You're not rushed. You're just eating well. Breakfast runs 8AM to 1PM, which feels generous, even for late risers. Then there's the Empress Eugénie breakfast in the Lobby Lounge, which leans French in all the right ways. Set in a palace built for the Empress herself, Cairo Marriott has always known how to host royalty. Think: a proper bread basket, seasonal fruit with creamy yoghurt, coffee and juice on the house, and eggs made to order. Add a soft cheese selection and a slightly-too-comfortable armchair, and suddenly the 9AM Zoom call doesn't feel that urgent. Service starts at 6AM and stretches until 12PM.

We Cooked a 500 Year Recipe at Cairo Marriott - Here's How It Went
Spoiler alert, it's Sharkaseya. Mar 18, 2025 FreshKit co-founder and Executive Chef, Sherif Afifi, teams up with Cairo Marriott's Chef Mohamed Sobh (for #SceneEats of course) to cook Sharkaseya—a dish that travelled from Ottoman courts to Egyptian kitchens and somehow never left. It's all about slow-cooked chicken and a sauce that's thick enough to cling to the spoon but smooth enough to disappear the second it hits the tongue. There's no unnecessary deconstruction here—just cracked pepper, balanced heat, and a respect for what makes the dish work.

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.
