What is a Luxury Nile Dinner Cruise in Cairo? 

A luxury Nile dinner cruise in Cairo is an evening escape while being sailed gently down the Nile to enjoy dinner of the highest standard and entertainment of authentic Egyptian music and traditional dance performances. It is sightseeing, culture, and luxury combined in one elegant package.

Great for a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or even a solo trip, a Cairo Nile River cruise is an idyllic and relaxing way to view the city's skyline and historical landmarks from a unique vantage point.

What to expect while on a luxury Nile dinner cruise:

Awesome Views of the Nile: The city starts to awaken at night, gliding past Cairo's landmarks along the river.
Gourmet Dining: An international and Egyptian multi-course menu served in formal settings.
Live Entertainment: Performed by belly dancers, Tanoura folklore, and live bands during your Cairo Nile River cruise.
Luxurious Ambience: Elegant decor and open-air decks, from every angle, are meant to serve your comfort.

Best Time to Book for a Cairo Nile River Cruise

The best time to go on a luxury Nile dinner cruise in Cairo is evening time, mostly sunset. It is then when the cooler temperatures and golden-hour light make the cruise more romantic and enjoyable.

Most cruises along the Cairo Nile River run daily and fit well into your itinerary for Egypt in both summer and winter.

What to Wear for the Luxury Nile Dinner Cruise?

There is no particular dress code, though it is circa smart casual or elegant evening wear, really. Think of it as dressing for a nice dinner with views! Some cruises may be themed, so inquire beforehand if you want to fit in.

Book early: Luxury cruises continue to sell out quickly, especially over weekends and holidays.
Pick a window seat: For the best views during dinner.

The essential travel documents usually include a valid passport, visas (if required), airline tickets, hotel reservations, travel insurance, and any necessary identification cards. It's always a good idea to make copies of these documents and store them separately as a backup.

Egypt is famous for its ancient historical sites. Some of the must-visit attractions include the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, Luxor Temple, Karnak Temple, Valley of the Kings, Abu Simbel, and the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

The best time to visit Egypt is during the cooler months of October to April when temperatures are more comfortable for exploring the historical sites. However, if you're interested in diving in the Red Sea, the summer months offer warm waters and excellent visibility.

When visiting religious sites such as mosques or temples, it's important to dress modestly out of respect. Both men and women should have their shoulders and knees covered. It's also advisable for women to carry a scarf to cover their hair if needed.

The best months to enjoy the Middle East tours are generally April and May, or October and November, however this can vary depending on where you're traveling and what you want to do. Temperatures are normally pleasant rather than extremely hot during certain hours, though crowds may be strong at some attractions.

The most prevalent mode of transportation is by bus. In the absence of this, you'll typically find shared taxis or tourist buses running routes to major sights (such as Petra in Jordan). While flying is the shortest way to travel between Middle Eastern destinations.

If you wish to take a big tour of the Middle East, you should plan at least a 10-day itinerary of Middle East Packages to allow ample time in each country. You may also need to allow extra time to go from one location to another due to security and border crossings between countries.
