Perfect Night in Cairo
One of the best experiences we had in Cairo! The cruise was relaxing, the music was fantastic, and the views at night were beautiful. We had a great time and would definitely do it again.

About this tour
For guests who want the river without the dinner show: a small boat, an open deck, cushions, the breeze and the light. Bring a camera.
Pickup at 16:15 and transfer to the moorings at Giza. The boat is a small motor yacht for up to 20 guests with an open upper deck; on most evenings we sail with far fewer.
The route goes upriver past the university bridge and the green banks of Giza, turns at sunset with the sun behind the palm groves, and comes back through the lit stretch between the Cairo Tower and the Sofitel. Tea, karkade, coffee, soft drinks and snacks (sambousek, sweets) are served on board.
Back at the moorings at 19:00 and at your hotel about 19:30, in time for dinner in town. A private charter of the whole boat is available on request.
