    • Oasis Lounge - Moroccan-themed Shisha & Dining Escape in Cairo

      Atmosphere & Setting

      Staying true o its name, the "Oasis Lounge" achieves that na, North African hideaway vibe, with its patterned tiles, ornamental carved wood, and warm, earthy tones. Lantern lighting, low to the ground pillows, and mellow music create a laid back atmosphere that makes it a great design for a couple, friends, or an individual. The Moroccan feel (arches, brass fixtures, multi-coloured cushions) gives it a vibe and scene perfect for making memories. Whether you're stopping in for an afternoon coffee, an evening meal, or a long shisha session, this shisha lounge has a chilled atmosphere that is inviting, letting you escape the fast pace of city life.

      The Shisha

      Oasis Lounge seems to consistently get over-the-top reviews about its excellent shisha flavors, consistency, and variety.

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.

      Daytime Vs Night Vibe

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!

This versatility of experience makes either idea equally fun when spending time, late or not, just sharing in time with others!
