★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 2,184 reviews · 3 hours · from $33Our pick

Spend an evening aboard the Nile Crystal with a buffet dinner, belly dancing, folklore, Western music, and views of Cairo after dark. Choose the private hotel transfer for an easier start and finish. Plan for about two hours on the boat, although the advertised activity duration is three hours.

“The boat was nice and clean. It says sunset Cruise, the sun is gone before you even start the ride. Also forget about 3hours!!! The tour is only 1 hour and 30Min. We departed at 18.15h and came back at 19.45h (already left the boat). Food was good. Service personnel very kind. Extra Tipp. Check your cutlery and plates and so before eating. ;) The entertainment was ok. But not more or less then that.”

You’ll leave your Cairo hotel with a private driver, board a traditional wooden felucca near downtown, and spend about two hours on the Nile with dinner, tea, music, and candlelit decor. Sunset departures are especially lovely. Add balloons or cake for birthdays and anniversaries.

“This trip was a beautiful romantic moment for my wife and me. She actually cried several times because she felt so loved. I definitely would recommend this trip. And the guys who took us, from the driver to the captain, and the young man who prepared the food and took pictures of us, I would give them a 5+.”
