Itinerary

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful!

What an unforgettable experience! I booked the 9:00 PM Nile dinner cruise, and it was truly one of the highlights of my trip to Egypt. The two-hour cruise was absolutely magical from beginning to end. The food was exceptional—every dish was delicious and beautifully prepared. The staff went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome, and their hospitality made the evening even more special. The live music and entertainment created an incredible atmosphere while sailing along the illuminated Nile River. Everything about the evening exceeded my expectations. Between the breathtaking views, outstanding service, amazing food, and wonderful entertainment, this is an experience I will never forget. I highly recommend this Nile dinner cruise to anyone visiting Cairo. It's a must-do experience that you'll cherish long after your trip is over!

Nile river cruise - OK

Booked the cruise for a specific night but was advised the day before the trip that we would not be able to go on the planned date and was offered alternative dates. Thought there may have been some 'commentary' on the tour but none. Definitely one to book the food option as not much else happened on the 2hr cruise.

Sheba invites you to a Magical Egypt

Sheba is a wonderful guide! Always cheerful, positive, and knowledgeable, he teaches you about the temples around the Nile River with an almost magical freshness! If you go with Sheba, you will have a fantastic trip

Nice 2 hour cruise!

Great cruise. Live music and dinner. Easy atmosphere with nice service. We ordered the ribeye steak and the Egyptian meal. I would definitely recommend the Egyptian meal over the steak. Ordered medium and it was well done. Food was lukewarm since they cook it and then bring it on the boat. However, still a great time and atmosphere.
