If your flight lands late in the afternoon or evening, don’t spend your layover stuck at the airport. This private tour takes you straight from Cairo Airport to a relaxing dinner cruise on the Nile — complete with a full dinner buffet and traditional entertainment — before returning you to the airport in plenty of time for your next flight.
It’s the perfect way to turn a long layover into a genuine Cairo experience, with a beautiful evening view of the city from the water instead of hours spent waiting in a terminal.
✅ Round-trip private transfer from Cairo Airport
✅ Nile dinner cruise with buffet dinner included
✅ Live entertainment (traditional music and Tanoura show)
✅ Private guide throughout
✅ Flexible timing for late arrivals
