Fodor's Choice
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
An atmospheric tented venue on the banks of the Nile at the northern tip of Zamalek, Sequoia offers a contemporary menu that attracts as many people for dinner as for the laid-back ambience and many flavors of shisha tobacco. Sequoia is part of a complex that includes an upscale Japanese restaurant and a Parisian-inspired café. Reservations are recommended.
