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.
