Begin with pickup at your Cairo hotel, then travel to to meet the river boat. Leave the shore behind as your captain steers the boat into the Nile’s current: you’ll have roughly 2-hours on the water for dinner, shows, and sightseeing. Listen to Arabic melodies as belly dancers perform a pre-dinner show, then fill your plate from an unlimited, open buffet. Choose from hot and cold menu items that include rice, pasta, chicken, fish, beef, and salads, then choose sweet treats from a spread of desserts and fresh fruit. Tanoura dancers, or dervishes, perform the second show of the evening, spinning continuously on stage to traditional Sufi music, an important part of the Egyptian religious tradition. After the show, climb onto the top deck of the ship for an open-air view of the passing shoreline, and enjoy a unique perspective on the bustling capital city. At the end of the cruise, return to shore for the trip back to your hotel, where this tour concludes.
Prices are per person when two book together; a solo traveller pays $69.

I would like to recommend the company. The tour of nile cruise was really awesome. Cruise had dinner and belly dancing, live singer singing arabian songs and Egyptian cultural dance. Driver Merwat was on time to pick us and was there with us at cruise to help us to communicate with local. If you want to see egyptian culture and interact with locals and not to forget awesome belly dancing, this is the tour you should book.
The tour was provided by Lilly Travel who were very professional. We were picked up by the driver in a private car and taken to the boat. The boat had 4 floors. We started at the top with drinks and then a big spread buffet dinner and entertainment. It was very festive. We booked at the last minute so we were very pleasantly surprised to have such a fun night. The driver waited for us and took us back to the hotel.
