The Experience

The boat leaves from the Nile with dinner already laid out — an open buffet of Egyptian favourites prepared fresh, with Oriental music playing as you sail through Downtown Cairo highlights for two hours. Belly dancers and a Tanoura show performer take the stage while you eat; a live singer and Nubian folk dancers round out the evening. The chef's menu changes with the season, and water comes with you in the car on the drive to the pier.

Three boat options let you choose the setting: 4-star, 5-star deluxe, or 5-star luxury. All include the same dinner, shows and sailing route. A private air-conditioned vehicle picks you up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza and brings you back after the cruise ends, so the only thing you arrange is the time you want to board. The guide travels with you and speaks your language — English, Spanish, Italian, French or another — throughout the evening.

Beverages on the cruise itself are optional at checkout, as is pickup from airport hotels or the New Cairo and 5th Settlement areas. The price covers all taxes and service charges; tipping is separate. The boat is wheelchair accessible, and specialized infant seats are available if you need them.
