About this tour
The classic Cairo evening for groups and families: a large restaurant boat, a good buffet, a loud happy show and the river. Book it for your first or last night.
Pickup at 18:45 and transfer to the boat moorings on the Corniche. Boarding at 19:30, sailing at 20:00. The boat is a two-deck restaurant ship with an air-conditioned dining hall and an open upper deck.
Dinner is an open buffet of Egyptian and international dishes: soups, salads, grills, fish, rice, pasta, desserts. Soft drinks are extra and served at the table; the boat holds a licence for beer and wine.
The show runs during dinner: a live band, a belly-dance performance and the tanoura whirling dancer with his lit skirts, then a folkloric finale. The boat turns at the Giza bridges and returns to the moorings at 22:00; the car brings you back to the hotel.
