We Broke Our Fast at Cairo’s Biggest Public Park…

Like the rest of Cairo’s hungry, slightly delirious masses, we’ve spent an unreasonable amount of time fantasizing about the perfect Ramadan iftar setup: a breezy open space, a table piled with kofta, and the socially acceptable freedom to double-dip our bread into hummus without judgment. Enter Granita, the Zamalek café that has decided to up the ante by expanding into Al Azhar Park. 

Now, as the call to prayer echoes over the city and the Citadel twinkles in the background, you can break your fast in a setting so picturesque, even your food coma feels refined. And for those of us who are ahem calendar-flexible with our eating habits, this little slice of serenity is here long after Ramadan wraps.
