Where to Find Everything You Need to Get Into The Christmas Spirit

It can be hard to find everything we need for Christmas in Cairo. Here at CairoScene, we love getting into the Christmas spirit. Since this is the season of giving, we've compiled this list to help you find everything you need to celebrate this joyous Eid el Milad. From Christmas trees the whole family can decorate together, to colourful lights with which to deck your halls, and even stockings where you can hide those special treats and surprise gifts - by the time you get through this list, your home will be so full of Christmas cheer it'll make Santa's head spin.

Your Nearest Local Mashtal/Florist

For living trees that can pass as Christmas trees, be sure to check out your local florists and flower shops in Degla, Maadi and all over Zamalek. For a good bargain, head to Korba. You can also check @MarlyGiftShop’s range of trees they have on display in Roxy, Heliopolis.

IKEA, Carrefour, Alfa Market, HomeCentre and Oscar Supermarket

For everything from Christmas string lights and tree-toppers, to stockings and stocking stuffers, to wreaths and pine cones and ornaments, these places can be one-stop shops for all your Christmas needs.
