The editors' note

This is where the Pier88 story began.

Giovanni Bolandrini opened the first Pier88 at El Gouna's Abu Tig Marina in 2008, and the group that grew from it now reaches as far as the Giza pyramids. The original waterfront venue has been taken apart and reimagined by Cairo's Studio Five as a floating, yacht-inspired pavilion on a steel pontoon. It is teak inside and ivory outside, with a central bar beneath a skylight, glass along the marina side and a rooftop deck looking out over the moored boats. It suits an aperitivo as well as a long dinner, and the mood rises as the night goes on, helped by music evenings such as Sunset Sessions.

هنا بدأت حكاية «بير 88». ففي عام 2008 افتتح جيوفاني بولاندريني أول فروعه في مرسى أبو تيج بالجونة، ومنه انطلقت مجموعة تمتد اليوم حتى أهرامات الجيزة. فُكِّك المطعم الأصلي المطل على الماء، وأعاد استوديو «ستوديو فايف» القاهري تصميمه جناحًا عائمًا مستوحى من اليخوت فوق منصة فولاذية: خشب الساج في الداخل، واللون العاجي في الخارج، وبار في المنتصف تحت منور، وواجهات زجاجية على المرسى، وسطح يطل على القوارب الراسية. يناسب المكان مشروبًا فاتحًا للشهية كما يناسب عشاءً طويلًا، وتعلو الأجواء مع تقدّم الليل بفضل أمسيات موسيقية مثل Sunset Sessions.
