Across Cairo's bars and clubs, Halloween combines two of the things I love most: dressing up and getting down, and in the immortal words of Cady Herring, "Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it." Bring it on.

TRICK OR TREAT @ CAIRO JAZZ CLUB

Usually this strict Old Lady adheres to the curfew - well not tonight and with ToyBoys on the decks, there will be other things besides rules being broken.

ALL HALLOWS EVE @ ALCHEMY

It's like Alchemy and Halloween were made for each other. The bar already oozes with a dark magic vibe and I don't know about you, but I was just itching for an excuse to dress like Morticia.

HEROES UNLEASHED @ TAMARAI

Fashion statements are best made while wearing capes and shimmering leotards. Tamarai knows this.

AFTER BURN @ AMICI ROYALE

Welcome the newest member of the Amici family with a total costumed blowout hosted by winners of the Student DJ Program, Aguizi & Fahim, local DJ, Ramy Djunky and German nu-house pioneers, Purple Disco Machine.

SWING IT @ WIF

Wings, wigs and karaoke - there's no reason why you can't have lunch dressed like the Phantom of the Opera.

DRINK OR TREATS @ AMICI HELIOPOLIS

After being postponed from Sunday, Amici cements the date on the 31st for their Halloween extravaganza. With music by DJ Fiko and a 400LE gift voucher for best costume, this is the party where the only tricks are turned out on the curb.

HALLOWEEN BASH @ NILE MAXIM

Out on the Nile, Halloween Bash presents an epic line-up of DJs spinning tracks that will pulsate throughout the entire night!

HALLOWEEN PARTY @ CLOUDELEVEN

Halloween Party @ Cloudeleven

Kempinski's Cloudeleven has managed to organize a Halloween costume bash that incorporates the innate, human desire to win at everything. Hosting a costume competition, Cloudeleven promises the winner a free dinner for two at the original Turkish delight, Osmanly or a complimentary spa experience for the lady-victor.

Alternatively....

A NIGHT OF OPERA AND BALLET UNDER THE STARS @ SAHL HASHEESH

Halloween isn't all about parties and grinding up against Superman; there are instances when enough is enough. Sahl Hasheesh knows this and has created a night of pure cultural ecstasy.
