Evening Itinerary
A professional local driver collects guests from the entrance of their Cairo or Giza hotel and transfers them directly to the cruise dock. Guests who prefer to arrange their own transport may proceed independently to the meeting point.
Guests board the elegantly appointed floating restaurant and are seated for the evening. The vessel departs into the evening current as the city begins its nightly transformation.
An Oriental buffet is served throughout the cruise, featuring a broad spread of Egyptian and regional dishes. Guests dine at their leisure while the Nile scenery unfolds around them.
The on-board program includes a live belly dancing performance, a traditional Tanoura spinning show, a live singer, and DJ sets. Egyptian folk acts round out the evening's cultural showcase.
As the cruise continues, guests take in the illuminated bridges, riverside landmarks, and the broader Cairo skyline from the deck. The three-hour sail provides ample time to absorb the atmosphere.
At the end of the cruise, guests who booked the transfer option are driven back to their hotel. Those who arranged independent transport depart from the dock at their convenience.
