If it haven`t been for my Egyptian friend I would never have knew this place by myself,as nothing tells you that it even exists.
The restuarant is inside a Building on the 1st floor, here you will dive into a world of exquisite taste.
Dress Code: You can be dressed formally or casually,But as for me I always try to be dressy as this place is one of the Elite places in Cairo,zamalek.
I would recommend reservations*

Rumours is arguably Cairo?s best piano bar and one of its premier night spots.
It has live music and really good food from it`s international cuisine menu.
Reservations are a must! It opens from 10p.m to 3 am.
If you`re accompanied by an Egyptian friend,i`m sure he/she would point out to you many celebrities dining in the next table or celebrating their birthday at this spot.
This place is closed,infact the hotel was bought by Sofitel,so it's no longer the Sheraton.I belive Budda Bar opend instead of it,same location.*
Dress Code: Formal.
A jacket is required for men and an evening dress for ladies.NO jeans are allowed.
Also it has the minimum charge policy per person,,it`s about 100 Egyptian pound(less than 20$).
Reservations is a must.

This Moored boat on the Nile has three options:
1-Dine at the Arabic side of the deck,where you have the chance to eat and smoke shisha and listen to the Arabian tunes(live music and singers).
2-To dine at the westren side of the deck.
3-To dance the night away on the lower level of the boat.
Reservations required.
Dress Code: Mostly formal unless your going dancing.
Also have in mind that this place have the minimum charge policy which means what ever you have for dinner you will still pay the same amount of money,and prices go up in the summer times as the place gets crowded with Arab tourists.(min.charge is about 100 egyptian pounds) about 20$ per person.
