Overview

Join now our daily rare, unique open-air Nile cruise and catch the sunset or the magical night in Cairo and Giza. This is one of the most amazing things to do in Cairo and Giza. Take your drink on a magical boat tour of the revered Nile River while avoiding the crowded traffic of Cairo. Guests can sail through the heart and soul of Cairo, enjoying the tranquil magical scenes of the city for about 2 hours with the motorized boat so it can cross under the bridges. It is no less interesting than visiting the pyramids in Giza. It is always perfect for solo travel, family time, and, for sure, romantic tours. You can make it with a launch or dinner for small extra fees (which must be ordered before getting onboard by 6 hours). There is a kids' area where you can let your child play while you are enjoying your experience, with extra fees.

It is great and a must do! I recommend a cruise time right before sunset as you will see the Nile River during the day, as the sun is setting, and after the sun goes down!

I was unable to access my event details despite using the confirmation link directly from my email and navigating my bookings on the site, and could not rebook my event after having an emergency that delayed my flight. Poor customer service
