What you'll see

  1. Cairo Tower
    Pass by

    The Cairo Tower (Egyptian Arabic: برج القاهرة, Borg El-Qāhira) is a free-standing concrete tower in Cairo, Egypt. At 187 m (614 ft), it was the tallest structure in Egypt for 37 years until 1998, when it was surpassed by the Suez Canal overhead powerline crossing. It was the tallest structure in North Africa for 21 years until 1982 when it was surpassed by the Nador transmitter in Morocco. It was the tallest structure in Africa for one year until 1962 when it was surpassed by Sentech Tower in South Africa.

  2. Qasr El Nil Bridge
    Pass by

    The Qasr el Nil Bridge (originally named Khedive Ismail Bridge, Egyptian Arabic: Asr el Nil Bridge), is a historic swing bridge structure dating from 1931 which replaced the first bridge to span the Nile River in central Cairo, Egypt.[2] It connects Tahrir Square in Downtown Cairo on the east bank of the river, to the southern end of Gezira/Zamalek Island. At the bridge's east and west approaches are four large bronze lion statues; they are late 19th-century works by Henri Alfred Jacquemart, a French sculptor and animalier.

  3. Sixth of October Bridge
    Pass by

    The 6th October Bridge (Arabic: كوبري 6 أكتوبر, Kubri 6(sadis) uktubar) is an elevated highway in central Cairo, Egypt. The 20.5-kilometre (12.7 mi) bridge and causeway crosses the Nile twice from the west bank suburbs, east through Gezira Island to Downtown Cairo, and on to connect the city to other highways that lead to the Cairo International Airport to the east. Its name commemorates the date of 'The Crossing', which commenced the outbreak day of the Yom Kippur War in 1973.

  4. Zamalek
    Pass by

    Zamalek (Arabic: الزمالك pronounced [ez.zæˈmæːlek], al zamalek) is a qism (ward) within the West District (hayy gharb) in the Western Area of Cairo, Egypt.[1] It is an affluent man-made island that geologically is part of the west bank of the Nile River, with the bahr al-a'ma (Blind Canal) cut during the second half of the 19th Century to separate it from the west bank proper.[2] The northern third has been developed into a residential area, which was home to 14,946 people during the 2017 census.[3] The southern two-thirds are mostly sports grounds and public gardens, a stark green reserve in the middle of Cairo. The island is connected with the river banks by four bridges: the Qasr El Nil Bridge, the Galaa Bridge, the 15 May Bridge, and the 6th October Bridge.

  5. Cairo Opera House
    Pass by

    The opera house was inaugurated on 10 October 1988. The funds for the complex were a gift from the nation of Japan to Egypt as a result of President Hosni Mubarak's visit to Japan in April 1983. Construction began in May 1985 and lasted for three years.[1] In October 1988, President Mubarak and Prince Tomohito of Mikasa, the younger brother of the Japanese Emperor, inaugurated the National Cultural Centre Cairo Opera House. It was the first time for Japan to stage a Kabuki show, a traditional popular drama with singing and dancing, in Africa or the Arab World.

  6. Pass by

    The idea of establishing Al Ahly came in the first 10 years of the 20th century and was first raised by Omar Lotfy who was a student in the Egyptian Law School during his presidency of the High School Students Club, which was established in 1905. The establishment of a club for high school students was for political reasons, and the students needed a sports club to gather them for leisure and exercise.

Great experience

It was a great experience. We enjoyed a lot. Meals are delicious, staff is so polite, the view is perfect. I suggest the best time is 16:00 in the Afternoon to see both the light and dark on the Nile.

Recommended service and atmosphere

A beautiful experience touring Cairo across the Nile. The service is excellent. Mohamed and his companions were very friendly and have been watching us at all times offering us drinks and blankets for the cold. The music accompanied by the saxophone was a fun touch of the ride and the design of the boat was among the most modern we have seen along the way.

Interesting experience with some Arabic music!

This was a lovely cruise with great service and fun music! I am not one for loud music and it does feel a little noisy at the start but it grows on you very quickly. As a foreigner, listening to some cool Arabic beats while sipping a mojito has its own charm! I took this boat as a solo female traveller for a 6pm slot and had a wonderful time. The views from the river were just amazing buy I'd recommend taking a late afternoon slot as that way you can experience the sunset!

Great experience!

Great tour on the Nile especially to see it at night. Everything was as advertised and as seen on the pictures. Very professional staff and good music (partially live) on the boat.

Nice boat, loud music

Very nice boat, and lovely to sail at the Nile. I would have given it top score if not for the loud and annoying music all the trip. If you like partymusic, this is the trip for you.
