    by marimar_72
    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.

    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.

    dinner & dancing
    by sachara
    At our last night in Egypt in 1999 we booked a dinnercruise on the Nile.
    At the boat were also a lot of youngsters for an evening out on the water.
    The price of the dinnercruise was $20, a huge dinner buffet and show with dancing included. We enjoyed both the dinner and the dancing.
    We had to be at the boat at 7.30 pm and we were back at 10.00 pm.

    by sachara
    In 1999 we had a nightflight back home and decided to make a boatride on the Nile with dinner and belly-dancing the evening before.
    The boat departed south of the centre of Cairo and headed north.
    First we took a drink at the upperdeck and had nice views at the riversides. It was a pity that the dinner was served downstairs with no view. We had a delicious dinner, there was music and a belly-dancer. It was nice, but we were happy that there was half a hour left to have a glass of tea at the upperdeck and to look at Cairo by night.

    The wonderful Nile by night
    by Diana75
    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.

    TGI Friday's along the Nile and its outside terrace. We were being taken out by egyptianhunk and brunzo_1, both VT members.
    It's on a barge on the Nile, in a fancy area of town, along the Zoo and Four Seasons Hotel.

    Dress up a little, slacks and a shirt will do.

    If it's not for the haze, we would stay much longer & I would certainly take more photos ! Not every night is like this, we discovered. The following night, the haze was cleared but we were not going up again for the 2nd time !
    As we were going down, there's a group of guys asking for some donation; It's so funny as the guys were wearing Pharoah skirts as we could see on many ancient wall paintings & statues...& also putting make-ups on their faces ! They were not even smiling & seemed like they were forced to wear that stupid costumes ! I nearly laughed ! We said, "La shukran !".
