Nile Dahabiya Open Air Cairo Dinner Cruise with Drinks, Live band & DJ

Your experience

This private 2-hour Nile dinner cruise puts you on your own boat with a personal waiter, a three-course Egyptian meal, and views of Cairo Tower and Zamalek Island.

Getting started

Meet at the designated meeting point, whether you are booking round-trip hotel transfers or meeting at the dock. Arrive 15 minutes before departure. Valet parking is available at the dock.

What to expect on the Nile

Cairo's Nile runs past Zamalek, a leafy island linking downtown Cairo and Giza by four bridges. Your boat circles the island while you dine.

Features

• Board your private boat, which seats your group only, with a personal waiter, safety gear, and life jackets on board.

• Cruise for around 110 minutes in a loop around Zamalek Island, returning to the Dokki dock.

• Pass the 187-metre Cairo Tower, which is lit up after dark. It's the classic photo stop of the route.

• Pass the riverside hotels and gardens of Zamalek as your waiter brings out your set menu. [Confirm: Qasr El Nil Bridge and Sofitel El Gezirah are on the route.]

• Enjoy a three-course Egyptian dinner with dishes like grilled chicken, kofta, and salads, followed by a sweet dessert such as konafa or rice pudding.

• Refill unlimited hot and cold soft drinks, juices, tea, and coffee throughout. Alcohol is not served.

• Add to the mood with the on-board TV, media player, and karaoke. Some waiters play the tabla.

• Choose your menu before the trip. The team coordinates your departure time with you over WhatsApp after booking.

• Book the sunset slot if you want daylight views of the island before the Cairo Tower lights come on.

• Bring a light layer for the evenings, as it can feel cooler on the water after dark.

Wrapping up

The cruise ends at the Dokki dock where you boarded. The boat is not wheelchair accessible.
