Highlights
As the sun goes down, the Nile fills with lights, and you spend the evening on the water with dinner, music, and a show. This 2-hour dinner cruise sails the river through the heart of Cairo while you eat a buffet of Egyptian and international dishes. A live band plays, a folkloric troupe dances, and a tanoura performer spins through a blur of colored skirts, the whirling Sufi-inspired dance that is a Cairo evening staple. Your private transfer collects you from your hotel and brings you back, so the whole night is handled. It is relaxed and family-friendly, more a pleasant evening out than a sightseeing tour. Ideal for travelers who want a calm, festive night on the Nile after a day in the dust and heat.

Itinerary
You board the cruise boat as it pulls away from the bank and Cairo's skyline lights up along the water. Dinner is an open buffet of grilled meats, mezze, and Egyptian staples, served while the boat makes its slow loop on the river. The entertainment builds through the sailing: live music, a folkloric dance troupe, and a tanoura spinner turning nonstop in a cone of bright fabric, a performance rooted in Sufi tradition. Between courses you step onto the deck for the night breeze and the city sliding past.

About Cairo
Cairo is Egypt's sprawling capital on the Nile, where the Pyramids of Giza meet medieval mosques, busy bazaars and the treasures of the pharaohs.
On the western edge of the city, the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx rise from the desert plateau, with the step pyramid of Saqqara and the ruins of Memphis further south. Cairo's great museums, the Egyptian Museum on Tahrir Square and the vast Grand Egyptian Museum beside the plateau, hold artefacts spanning thousands of years.
Top-ranked sights in Cairo: Egyptian Museum (Museum of Egyptian Antiquities), Saqqara (Sakkara), Khan El-Khalili.
