Ramadan brings the party animals, the lovey-doveys’ and the-sometimes-pain-in-the a** siblings/relatives together. So, no matter how hard you find fasting, or how you hold yourself back from cursing, or thinking about cursing your cousin; there is always a way to make the day pass with either a lavish or eventful Iftar/Sohour in one of Cairo’s best tents. Here’s a list of some annual favourite tents, and new surprisingly interesting ones too.
