Your guide to a Nile dinner cruise in Cairo

After a day at the pyramids or the museum, an evening on the Nile is the easiest way to relax and see the city in a new light. Here is what to expect on board.

On the river

The cruise sails through the centre of Cairo, past Zamalek island, the Cairo Tower and the lit-up bridges and hotels on both banks. From the deck you see why the Nile has always been the heart of the city.

The shows

The evening has two shows. A belly dancer performs to live or recorded Egyptian music, and a Tanoura dancer spins for long minutes in a wide, layered skirt of many colours, a dance that comes from Sufi tradition.

The food

Dinner is an open buffet with Egyptian dishes, grills, salads and desserts, and some international options. Drinks are not included and are paid on board.

Tips

  • Smart casual clothes are fine; bring a light layer for the deck in winter.
  • Tell us about any diet needs when you book.
  • Plan your days with our guide to Cairo in 3 days.
