When the sun dips below the horizon and Cairo's skyline begins to glow, there’s no better way to experience the magic of the city than by enjoying a Nile dinner cruise. It’s a floating blend of luxury, entertainment, and authentic Egyptian cuisine—all set against the timeless beauty of the Nile River.
Dinner cruises in Cairo typically last 2 hours and sail smoothly along the Nile while offering breathtaking views. Guests are welcomed with warm Egyptian hospitality and seated in elegant dining areas, often with panoramic windows or open-air decks.
Most cruises feature a lavish buffet of traditional and international dishes, including:
Grilled meats (kebabs, kofta)
Stuffed vegetables and fresh salads
Egyptian rice dishes
Local favorites like molokhia, mahshi, and shawarma
Sweet treats like basbousa, konafa, and om ali
The entertainment is as unforgettable as the view. Most Nile cruises include:
Belly dancing performances
Live Arabic music
Tanoura shows (whirling dervish dance)
These cultural performances bring Egypt’s traditions to life while you dine.
From the comfort of your seat or deck, enjoy:
