Nile Dinner Cruise
30.0400, 31.2250
This pairing puts Egypt's newest icon beside its most romantic evening: the Grand Egyptian Museum by day, and a floodlit dinner cruise on the Nile after dark.
At the GEM, near the Giza plateau, you can walk among a hundred thousand artefacts including the complete Tutankhamun collection under one soaring roof. Come evening, a Nile dinner cruise glides through the heart of Cairo with a buffet dinner and a show — usually a whirling tanoura dancer and live music — as the city's bridges and towers slide past lit up on the water.
Together they make an easy, high-impact full day: deep history in daylight, then Cairo at its most festive on the river.
Know before you go
Book a weekday dinner-cruise slot if you can, as weekend sailings fill with local celebrations and can feel crowded and loud.
