CairoScene New Year's Eve Guide 2018

Toss that planner aside; here's everything worth doing on the biggest night of the year.

Staff Writer

It’s 2019, the year Bruce Wayne retires from being Batman in Batman Beyond. The year that once-futuristic thriller The Island takes place, where people harvest their clones’ organs. It’s the year of friggin’ Blade Runner. We’re fully in the future y’all, and we need to party as hard as the screenwriters from the past thought we would be in 2019. Without further ado, here’s your list of the hottest parties and fanciest meals across Egypt this NYE. Better enjoy them before we’re settling on colonies on the moon.
