Inspirational Ramadan Awaits You at Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria

Halo Ya Halo, Ramadan Karim Ya Halo - the song is welcoming the month and is one the early signs that once heard on the radio, the Arab world starts the ritual to prepare for the Holy Month.

Given the value and importance from a religious context, Ramadan was the month that God revealed to the Prophet Muhammad the Qurʾān, Islam’s holy book. It is the month of fasting, giving and sharing.

Through the years, Egypt developed several Ramadan traditions that remain nowadays. This year, guests are welcome at Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria to discover Ramadan wonders that bring joy to every aspect of life.

Ramadan lanterns beautifully decorate each table and the hallways around the Hotel. Fanous Ramadan is considered the number one most renowned symbol of the month. The lantern was used in early Islam for lighting at night to go to mosques and visit friends and relatives.

Moving to the culinary side, the Hotel’s Executive Pastry Chef invites guests to indulge in a selection of Kunafa making from around the world with its mixes of cheese, nuts, or chocolate.

The Kunafa is considered the second most renowned Ramadan symbol in the streets of Egypt. On every street or corner, it is easy to find a small shop with a special machine that spills fine lines of liquid dough until cooked.

These sweets trace their origins back to the Ottoman Empire and can still be found in various forms throughout the former empire’s dominion.

Guests are welcome to experience this rich culture at Iftar Kala or Byblos restaurants or enjoy a friendly Sohour gathering at Shisha Lounge. The culinary team has prepared delicious menus made with love and passion.
