An enchanting evening on the Nile

Glide into an unforgettable evening with a 3-hour Cairo dinner cruise. After a convenient pick-up from your Cairo or Giza hotel, you'll be whisked away to the cruise dock, ready to embark on your Nile adventure. Watch the horizon transform as the sun sets, casting a warm glow on the city. Keep an eye out for the intricate latticework screens of historic Islamic mansions like Beit El-Suhaymi. You’ll also catch glimpses of Ottoman-era bridges, strung with twinkling lights, reflecting on the water's surface. As you sail past iconic landmarks like the Cairo Tower and the Muhammad Ali Mosque, you'll be enchanted by their illuminated splendor.

A night to unwind

Savor an array of Egyptian specialties, from fragrant molokhia stew, a vibrant green leafy vegetable dish, to succulent kebabs sizzling with spices. Did you know? The Nile has been a source of life for Egyptians for millennia, and its fertile lands provide the fresh ingredients that will grace your plate. Listen to the soulful melodies played on the oud, a lute-like instrument, and the hypnotic beats of the darbuka, a goblet drum. Be enthralled by the whirling Tanoura dancers, their colorful skirts become a kaleidoscope of motion.
