Private Romantic Dinner Cruise on the Nile

Overview

Trade the city streets for a private table on the water with a candlelit dinner cruise along the Nile in the heart of Cairo. After hotel pickup, you board a moored Nile cruiser and settle at your own reserved table as the boat casts off and the illuminated skyline, bridges, riverside towers and the lights of Zamalek, begins to slide past the windows. A set multi-course dinner is served at your table, typically a spread of Egyptian mezze followed by a choice of main and dessert, while the river drifts by. Onboard entertainment usually accompanies the sailing, and a live band or the swirling skirts of a tanoura folklore dancer set the mood without ever crowding your evening. It is an unhurried, couple-focused way to see Cairo after dark, with the planning, the table and the transfers all taken care of so the two of you can simply enjoy it. The cruise runs around two hours on the water, with roughly three hours door to door including transfers. Smart-casual dress suits the setting. Let the operator know in advance of any dietary needs or a special occasion, as an anniversary or birthday can usually be marked with a little something at the table.
