Bringing Summer Vibes Aboard the First Nile Boat by Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at The First Residence

Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at The First Residence announces a collaboration with the renowned photographer and Egyptian artist Hazem Hafez to host his annual Summer Vibes photography and art exhibition, reflecting the summer experience in Egypt from its breathtaking beaches, mesmerizing landscapes and ancient wonders to its vibrant culture.

On Wednesday, June 5, 2024, the exhibition will commence with a private cocktail reception in Zoé restaurant located aboard the First Nile Boat and steps away from the Hotel. This curated showcase is set to transport guests to Egypt’s alluring beaches and tropical shores. To make the experience whole, Zoé’s Chef Marios Papadopoulos will prepare a special menu inspired by the Mediterranean. “Since the exhibition is summer themed, I will be bringing my own spin on exciting summer creations featuring ocean favourites and wonders of the sea, so guests can feast through all of the senses together through sight, smell and taste,” says Zoé’s Chef Marios Papadopoulos.

Inspired by the soothing colour palettes of the Mediterranean islands, the unique ambience of Zoé restaurant offers the ultimate style setting for such an exhibition, complemented with blue and white hues with a side of panoramic Nile and Cairo views.

The exhibition is also set to be a visual ode to the allure of Egypt’s Red Sea and Mediterranean shores. Through the lens of Hazem Hafez, the exhibition captures the essence of Egypt’s natural wonders, showcasing the architectural marvels, mystical landscapes, beaches and the enduring spirit of the people who built one of the world's greatest civilizations. Summer Vibes exhibition is an initiative supported by the Hotel to further promote Cairo’s local artisans and the art industry, and to continuously showcase their talent to the public.
