The Shisha

Oasis Lounge seems to consistently get over-the-top reviews about its excellent shisha flavors, consistency, and variety. The menu has Egyptian and Moroccan blends - double apple, mint, grape, unique fruit blends - and they're consistently made with new tobacco and follow a detailed heat management plan to ensure an authentic shisha smoking experience, with time and flavor disruption kept to a minimum. The staff keep a watchful eye on the coals and airflow to ensure max long sessions with flavor. Because of this, this lounge has built a reputation in Cairo that has made it into a 'premium role model' for shisha that manages to keep the authenticity, but still innovative.

Food, Drinks & Service

Not only is Oasis Lounge a shisha spot, it is also a shisha lounge with food. It serves Moroccan & Middle Eats influenced, Moroccan casual - think tagine, couscous, mezze, grilled - and pair it with fresh juices, mint hibiscus tea, and creative mocktails. Known for food and shisha experience, it is only seen as excellent because the staff are very often mentioned as being friendly, attentive, and providing really quick coal swap (also guidance on flavors).

Daytime Vs Night Vibe

During the day, Oasis Lounge has that momentary escape feeling, without the hustle and bustle while you sip on your redeemed mint tea, chill while smoking your shisha, and lazily eat lunch while taking in the sunset, thinking too much about what your evening plans are. On one hand, at night they have dimmable lantern lighting options, and in one chin-pulling moment, holding the first smoke of the night is soon spent with instant volume rising from the relaxed Arabic lounge music that is specifically created for late night shisha spots in Cairo! The warmth and energy of the lounge will slowly build (as long as there are others enjoying their time) and encourage a group experience or a romantic experience with a couple. This versatility of experience makes either idea equally fun when spending time, late or not, just sharing in time with others!
