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.

Relaxing and enjoyable ride

I requested for a last minute change of time and Omar willing to accommodate it and change it to the speed boat. The boat went slow and there is no loud music as requested by the co-passenger, which is nice. It was a relaxing and quiet ride, which is what I am after for, glad that I took the package. We even managed to catch the fountain, such a mesmerizing sight. Will definitely recommend this to the others.

A unique experience that you cannot miss!

It's an amazing experience. I have travelled to many countries and have taken many tours and this is one of those few that leaves you surprised and you can not stop recording or taking pictures. All the staff very friendly and the food very rich and abundant. It also includes non-alcoholic beverages, which you can drink as many times as you like, including mint red tea. Super friendly and respectful staff. It is a unique experience, I recommend the 6pm tour for you to see the sunset, just excellent!

Excellent choice for a swift boat trip along the Nile.

A really good trip along the Nile. Attentive staff and a well laid out and smart boat. Good value too with free drinks in the journey.

That was just perfect. A little too much to eat 😉 but the view, the boat, sensations, colours at the sunset were amazing.

Lovely evening

We had a lovely evening on the Nile! The service could not have been better and the food was delicious. We found the music a little loud for our liking but it was festive.
