Mother's Day 2014

The ultimate guide to treating the most important woman in your life (after Beyoncé)...

Staff Writer

Mother's Day is upon us once again; that time of year where we all scramble to find good gifts in our desperate attempts to compensate for yet another year of being shitty children. Well, fear not, we here at CairoScene know a thing or two about being crappy kids, so we've rounded up all the Mother's Day events in the city from dining to bazaars to ways you can even get her a gift without actually paying anything for all you cheapskates (ahem, us) out there. 

DINING

CONRAD'S 20% OFF DINING DISCOUNT
Conrad is definitely facilitating eating loads of delicious food this Mother's Day – they've got a 20% discount at Oak Grill, Solana, and Kamala, so whichever one of their amazing restaurants you decide to hit up for a nice family dinner, you'll be spending a whole lot less than you initially planned! AND they'll be holding a raffle where you can nab either a free Kamala Saturday Brunch, a dinner at Oak Grill, or even a make-over session with a famous make up artist. We can't decide which one of these awesome prizes we want more…

MOTHER'S DAY @ CAFE BLANC
Café Blanc, i.e. the shining beacon of luscious Lebanese food (we have yet to taste something as magical as their halloumi), is being SUPER generous this Mother's Day with an amazing offer: all mums eat for FREE on Mother's Day! You know what that means right? You don't even have to spend a penny to take your mum out on Mother's Day (well you'll have to spend a few pennies if you plan on eating – unless you're a mum too)! Bring on the Lebanese fetteh…

MOTHER'S DAY BRUNCH AT LE DECK
Treat your Mama to a beautiful Mother's Day Brunch at Le Deck by Sofitel with a special gift in store for you to show her how much she means to you for 295LE per person.

MOTHER'S DAY AT MAHARAJA
What better way to spend Mother's Day than a family brunch where you spend hours stuffing your face with Tandoori chicken, and mango chutney and other yummy Indian foods? We just ran out of Indian foods whose names we know, to be honest. Ramses Hilton's Maharaja Family Brunch is only LE 149 per person, all inclusive, and mums get to eat for FREE! So…everyone bring along a random child and pretend you're a mum.

 

MAMMA MIA! – BELLA
So maybe you don’t have the cash to send your mom on a trip to Italy this Mother's Day, but you can do the next best thing! Treat her to an amazing dinner at Bella at Four Seasons Nile Plaza with some of the city's best Italian cuisine and some incredible traditional dishes that she's sure to love (almost) as much as that trip to Italy!

MOTHER'S DAY AT BEYMEN
Dining and shopping are the favourite hobbies of many an Egyptian mother. So what better way to treat her this Mother's Day than with some sheer deliciousness at Beymen? No better way, that's the answer. They've got one mouth-watering set menu planned for Friday, staring out with entrees such as sushi or a strawberry salad, then an option of grilled lamb chops or sea bass, and then to top it all off, a creamy raspberry cheese cake for dessert. Forget Mother's Day, we're on our way over there right now! We're positively drooling on the screen. Oh and mums also get a complimentary cake! Cute.

HOTELS

BED & BLISS - MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND PACKAGE
You can buy her some flowers, or maybe jewellery but really, the best way to show your mom you love her this Mother's Day, and to make up for yet another year of giving her grey hairs, is definitely a stay at the Four Seasons Nile Plaza. Treat your mom to the ultimate weekend getaway with the Four Seasons' Bed & Bliss. It's the perfect weekend package, with a night in one of their beautiful rooms overlooking the Nile, a delish breakfast the next day, and an extra treat in the form of either an aromatherapy massage or a facial treatment, all for LE 2000 a night.

THE ALLEGRIA MOTHER'S DAY BAZAAR
Mother's Day is once again upon us. If you're not sure whether to take your mom out for dinner, or to buy her a nice gift, or maybe just take her shopping because you don’t know what to buy her, or whether you should take her to see a show...don't fret, it's all good, Allegria's got you covered. Their Mother's Day Bazaar has virtually everything. There will be live entertainment (show, check!), a special menu available (food, check!), and, even though you may not be able to buy your mom a Mercedes just yet (I mean...we can barely afford to order lunch let alone buy our mums a car), you can at least have her drive around in one on Mother's Day – there will be four luxurious cars, courtesy of the brand, for you to test drive during the day! AND if you have kids of your own or have to take along some pesky cousins or something, there's loads of fun activities set up for them, thanks to Playpedia Nursery!

AND if you Instagram your fro-yo from the fest, you @CherryOnTopEG with #MyCherryOnTop, you get a free cupcake! We heart freebies. 

 

MOTHER'S DAY PARTY @ DANDY MALL
Dandy Mall is doing it up for Mother's Day with a whole weekend of fun!

We highly doubt any mothers will be getting their faces painted but hey, you never know! Treat your mum to some fun, after shopping until you drop at Dandy Mega Mall. The festivities kick off with a happening Hip-Hop show and live music, while little ones can get their faces painted so mum remembers these moments forever, as well as go home with balloons and more goodies.
