Dinner Cruises

Dinner cruises are the short, evening version of a Nile cruise, and they happen in Cairo rather than between Luxor and Aswan. You board in the early evening, sail for about two hours past a lit-up city, eat from an open buffet and watch a live floor show – usually a tanoura spinner, an oriental set and a tabla player. There is no cabin and no itinerary: it is dinner and a river, finished by bedtime. Most people book one for an arrival or departure night in Cairo, or as the evening half of a pyramids day. Two sittings run most nights, an early one around 7pm and a late one after 9pm, and hotel pickup is normally offered. If you are looking for the multi-night sailing between the temples, that is a Nile cruise proper rather than a dinner cruise.
