Jingle All the Way Around Cairo: These Are The City's Best Xmas Events


Not to sound like a Hallmark cliche, but it’s a Christmas miracle that this city of ours can have so many celebrations without epically combusting and showering us in powdered sugar and infinitesimal bits of minty candy cane. We may call it ‘cuffing season’ but it’s mostly a time when our bodies and hearts are both battling the weather and loneliness the winter is so well-known for. 


Perhaps that’s another Christmas miracle, that it gives all of us an excuse to grab our loved ones and bask in the merry festivities - to go on carousel rides with our siblings or enjoy hot chocolate with our partner or grab our best friends to a party loud enough to drown ourselves in the warmth suffusing the room. 


This is our comprehensive roundup of the most festive Xmas events - from walks to workshops, happy hours to parties, and bazaars to festivals - taking over Cairo this Christmas season.
