View From the Roof

Yes, Finally made it to the roof top of the Nile Zamalek Hotel! And am so glad! The view of the Nile is breathtaking and unbroken.

The weather these days is just perfect to spend time with a sheesha and tea, looking over the Nile and contemplating life. The place ahs salads, drinks and a few meat and chicken dishes on the menu.

But the real attraction is that one can order food from the neighbouring Blue Elephant restuarant and they will deliver it to your table on the rooftop. The place does some delicious Thai dishes and my excitement about the place is primarily because it has a number of vegetarian options and it can serve the vegetarian version of almost any dish on its menu. The place was formerly known as Sabai Sabai.

I got a great idea while sitting -it would be a great place to throw a party-the setting and the food are good. The 2 ingredients for a successful party!

How to get there? Take the left onto the Brazil street from the 26th July street. Keep going straight till the street curves on to another street (cant remember the name now) and on your right, at the corner, there is the Nile Zamalek Hotel. The entrance is from the side facing away from the road.

Dont get discouraged by the disheleved nature of the looby or the construciton work going on on the floor where you get off to climb the stairs to the rooftop. It will be worth the climb!
