Grand Egyptian Museum + Nile Dinner Cruise with Show

Overview

Two very different sides of Cairo in one afternoon and evening. You begin at the Grand Egyptian Museum out by the Giza plateau, the enormous new home for the country's antiquities, entering past the towering statue of Ramesses II and climbing the grand staircase lined with royal figures toward the galleries that now hold the complete Tutankhamun collection under one roof. Skip-the-line tickets get you straight in. As the light goes, you transfer to the river for a Nile dinner cruise: a slow loop past the lit-up bridges and waterfront while an open buffet of Egyptian and international dishes is served. On board there is live entertainment – a belly dancer and a whirling tanoura performer spinning in coloured, illuminated skirts, the folk show that traditionally closes a Cairo night out. Hotel pickup and drop-off bookend the day, so the two halves connect without you arranging taxis in between. It is a good pairing if you want the headline museum and a relaxed evening on the water in the same booking, and it works whether you have just arrived in Cairo or are rounding off a longer trip.
