Nile Dinner Cruise with Tanoura & Belly Dance Show

Enjoy a magical evening on the famous river in Cairo. You will sail along the calm water as city lights shine all around you. Above all, this Nile Dinner Cruise offers a tasty meal with lively folk shows. For example, it is the best way to see the city skyline at night. In addition, you can rest on the open deck and feel the cool river breeze as the sun goes down.


A Delicious Feast on the Water

To begin, you will enjoy a big open buffet on your Nile Dinner Cruise. This buffet features classic Egyptian foods and popular international dishes. For instance, you can taste fresh salads, grilled meats, and sweet local treats. Meanwhile, our friendly ship crew will make sure you have everything you need for a fine meal.

Because the ship moves smoothly on the water, you can eat in peace. You can watch the city sights pass by your window as you dine. Furthermore, this evening gives you a great chance to try real local flavors in a comfortable floating boat.


Traditional Music and Dazzling Shows

Afterward, live stage shows begin on board. First, you will see the colorful Tanoura dance show. This famous Egyptian folk dance features dancers spinning fast in bright skirts. Next, a lively belly dance show starts with fast beats from local drums and flutes.

In addition, the spinning dervish show will amaze you with its skill and speed. Ultimately, these energetic acts bring the rich history and culture of Egypt right to your table.


See Cairo Illuminated from the River
