Nile Dinner Cruise Cairo: Sunset, Buffet & Belly-Dancing Show

Float past Cairo's riverside lights while you eat and watch live entertainment on the water.

A Nile dinner cruise in Cairo combines a three-hour evening on the river with an open buffet dinner, folkloric and belly-dancing performances, and private transportation from your hotel. The boat stays within Cairo's waterways, and the experience includes both hot and cold dishes served throughout the evening. Children from age 2 are welcome, and the cruise suits all fitness levels.

The experience

You're picked up from your hotel and driven to the dock, where you board a converted Nile steamer for the evening. The boat carries you onto the river as the sun sets, and the buffet opens with international and local cuisine: hot and cold dishes available throughout the cruise. The folkloric and belly-dancing performances begin once you're underway, and the entertainment runs alongside the meal, so you watch the show while you eat and the lights of Cairo's banks reflect off the water.

The cruise stays within Cairo's waterways for several hours, giving you time to move between the buffet, find a spot on deck, and settle into the rhythm of the evening. The combination of food, live music and dance, and the view of the Nile at night is built into the single experience. Nothing is separated into a schedule you have to manage. When the cruise ends, the driver takes you back to your hotel.
