Countdown to Summer’s End: Top 10 Things to Do in Sahel
We don’t want to say that there is a running countdown for the summer, but we’d like to think there is one. With the final days of the summer among us, it is time to soak up these days. Here are 10 things you can do to make those last days count:
1- Get Your Final Strawberry Matcha Fix from Saints
With the ongoing matcha craze, the North Coast jumped on that bandwagon and brought over Saints, the coffee shop taking over Sahel.
Found in every BRGR drive-thru in Sahel, they not only serve up iced coffees but also fun renditions of the holy matcha, especially their blended strawberry matcha. Grab one during your next trip!
2- Dance It Out to Saliah’s Party at Kiki’s
To truly mark the end of summer, nothing beats a full-fledged party. Palestinian–American DJ Saliah is set to send out a ripple of nostalgic SWANA meshed with house beats at Kiki’s.
Whether it is a UK bass remix of the Arabic classic El Hantoor or a mix of Najwa Karam’s Mawal into Missy Elliott’s Pass That Dutch, she is lighting up the North Coast this weekend!
3- Splash Your Way Through The Marassi Waterpark
For that rush of adrenaline and bout of family fun, nothing beats a trip to the waterpark. Marassi has its very own park, one of the largest in Egypt, home to everything from the Typhoon Tunnel to the Vortex, where the raft will take you through twists inside a tube before dropping you into the water.
If this is what floats your boat, put it in your final days of summer bucket list.
4- Pamper Yourself At The Al Alamein Hotel Spa
Vacationing in Sahel is already relaxing enough, but imagine also getting to get pampered in a spa. At Al Alamein Hotel Spa, you’ll get to experience everything from Balinese therapists, including massages, facials and body treatments, as well as their heated stone treatments and much more.
5- Surf Some Waves At Egypt’s Surf Camp
Get your surfboard and hit the waters this week. One of the best ways to soak up the last days of summer is to surf your way through the day. At Egypt’s Surf Camp, you can spend this final week learning all you can about the special sport and then hitting up the water.
6-Freshen Up With Some of Lemonana’s Lemonade
Bringing a fun twist to a classic refreshment, nothing screams summer more than sipping on some cold lemonade. At Lemonana, that very drink is served up in classic form but also with a fun twist as you can try out their creations that include their raspberry lemonana and their Tropi-cana.
7- Glide Through Ghazala Bay’s Waters On An Aerofoil
Hitting up the water doesn’t mean just surfing or sliding down through the rides of a massive waterpark; you can also get creative and try out some unique waterspouts.
All the way at Ghazala Bay, adventure junkies can experience what it’s like gliding through the water on an electric surfboard. Just picture it: at up to 55 km/h, you can practically fly over the water on a surfboard.
8- Indulge in Authentic Mediterranean Cuisine at Baia
A true Sahel experience means also getting to indulge in some fine dining. Many of the restaurants open in Sahel already have branches all over Cairo, but there is one in particular that has only found a home on the North Coast.
At Telal’s Baia Beach House, you can enjoy the live acts that take over the weekend and indulge in authentic Mediterranean cuisine.
9- Flyboard Across The Seas of Marina
Surfing, check… Water park, check… Flyboarding? If you like to try out-of-the-box experiences, you can literally fly above the waters, as many spots across the Sahel offer flyboarding experiences.
10- Stay Up All Night At Adriatique’s Party
Get a taste for electronic beats as Swiss DJ Duo Adrian Shala and Adrian Schweizer, known as Adriatique, are throwing the ultimate party all the way at Sahel this weekend!
There you have it: 10 different ways to cap off the summer season at Sahel. Each of these experiences will bring you a final taste of the summer.
