It is a fabulous way to enjoy a night on the Nile while you are in Cairo. So, you are invited to dinner on a cruise boat for two hours sailing trip on the Nile with belly dancer, folklore show, western music and dinner on a 5 star cruise. All the time, you'll be delighted in our Chef's menu along with a selection of Egyptian favorites, made with the freshest ingredients, and prepared to make it a memorable dining experience.

Dress Code: comfortable ...on upper desk it can be quite windy

Discover the enchanting history of the ancient Egyptians. The show starts with the story of the Sphinx who has been the vigilant guardian of the city of the dead for five thousand years. The show also depicts the story of building the pyramids and relates the history of great and famous figures of ancient Egypt such as Thutmosis IV, Akhnaten, Nefertiti and Tut Ankh Amon.

On the Nile: cruises
thetababy profile photo
thetababy 3 reviews

We ended up on a Nile cruise and they offered dinner and music and a belly dancer. Ask in your hotel but there was one of several that left from in front of the Sheraton, and another one down the river on the other side in front of the opera house, where the feluucas are. Price ranged from 250LE to 400LE.

The dancer was good enough and I was unfortunate enough to be forced to dance with her. I didnt buy the 25LE photo...

Bear in mind the 22 tax added to everything!

Cheaper options in front of the Nile Hilton (now Nile Hotel) are small disco boats with people sitting and listening to loud, blarng music - nice to watch from the river side though, but if you can stand it it's about 10LE a go. Interesting to watch are the bellydancing girls (veil included) and guys. According to my arab friend this was scandalous behaviour but everyone watching was mesmerised!

Dress Code: casual/smart - dont feel pressured tho

SunSet Boat

One of the newly renovated moored boats on the Nile,,has many indoors restaurants with live music,a disco-tec, and on the deck there`s also a restarant which offers food and shisha(water pipe).
It closes down in the summer at 6 am.
minimum charge policy applies.

Dress Code: If you`re planning on sitting on the deck,you can wear what ever you feel like wearing,only have in mind to take a light jacket if it`s summer,and a coat if it`s winter..it can get cold sitting next to the Nile.

Dining while watching Belly Dancing surely will be very memorable moment. Eventhough the food was no so great but the Belly Dancer is quite entertaining.

It's a trip along Nile river for almost 2 hours cruising.
Depart on 8PM and 10 PM.
Costly LE 35, quite expensive for not so good meal.

Dress Code: any; can be casual or smart casual, whatever suits you.

On the Nile: Last goodbye to the Nile and Cairo

If you're looking for a place where you could say goodbye to Cairo an The Nile, I do recommend the Nile Maxim boat run by the Cairo Mariott. I had a great time there the last night I was in Cairo, Jan 3rd 2007. The food was excellent and so were the show and service. They charge a mininum of 170 L.E, but it's worth it. Drinks and all we're talking abot 25€ almost. The dancer was a bit of a surprise, though. I had never thought that I'd be seeing a superb belly dancer from Argintina! but who cares about her origin she danced beautifully!

On the Nile: The Nile by night

The wonderful Nile by night

We been lucky enough to have the hotel located in Maadi, one of the nicest and greenest parts of Cairo, and very close to the Corniche, thus we had the chance to enjoy wonderful walks along the Nile almost every night.

Beside this, if you want to spend the night in a restaurant or bar listening Arabic music and tasting the local food, you have plenty of opportunities downtown, the best ones being located on the Corniche or even on the Nile in boats.
