Discover the vibrant magic of Egypt’s capital after dark with a private Cairo by Night tour. Stroll down the illuminated medieval Al-Muizz Street, explore the bustling alleys of the Khan El-Khalili Bazaar, and sip traditional tea at the historic El-Fishawy Cafe. Top off your evening with breathtaking panoramic views of the illuminated skyline from the top of the Cairo Tower, all with private transfers and escort included.
Our representative will pick you up from your hotel to explore one of the oldest and most atmospheric streets in Egypt.
Al-Muizz Street:
Your evening begins with a walk along Al-Muizz Street, one of the oldest and most captivating Islamic streets in Cairo. Here, you can admire beautifully illuminated monuments, historic mosques, and medieval palaces set in a unique, atmospheric backdrop.
Khan El-Khalili Bazaar:
Continue to the famous Khan El-Khalili Bazaar, one of the oldest open-air markets in the Middle East. Enjoy free time to stroll through its vibrant alleys packed with souvenirs, spices, and traditional crafts.
El-Fishawy Cafe:
Stop at the renowned El-Fishawy Cafe, a historic, traditional coffeehouse nestled in the heart of the bazaar. Relax and enjoy a refreshing mint tea or authentic oriental coffee in a classic Egyptian setting.
Cairo Tower:
The journey continues to one of the best panoramic viewpoints in the city: the Cairo Tower, located on Gezira Island in the Zamalek district, just steps away from the Museum of Modern Art. Standing at 187 meters high, this lattice-work tower subtly fans out at the top in the shape of a lotus flower. Built from granite—the same material beloved by the ancient Egyptians—it stands about 45 meters taller than the Great Pyramid of Giza.
At the end of the evening, our representative will transfer you back to your hotel.

Yes, refunds are available depending on the timing of your cancellation. The earlier you notify us, the more flexible the refund terms will be. This is because Nile Cruises, hotels, and domestic flight tickets have their own policies. In most cases, partial or full refunds are possible if you cancel within the set timeframe, but last-minute cancellations may result in service charges or non-refundable deposits.
Absolutely. Our tours are designed with flexibility in mind, so you can adjust travel dates, upgrade your cabin, or even extend your stay before or after the cruise. Small adjustments, like changing optional tours or meal plans, are also possible, though availability and price differences may apply. The earlier you request changes, the smoother the process will be.
Yes, and this is one of the best parts of the journey. Alongside the classic visits to Luxor, Aswan, and the temples along the Nile, you can add optional excursions like a hot air balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings, a visit to the Nubian villages in Aswan, or even a day trip to Abu Simbel. These experiences bring extra magic to your itinerary and can be arranged in advance or sometimes even on board.
The most popular seasons are fall (September to November) and spring (March to May), when the weather is pleasantly warm, making sightseeing comfortable. Winter (December to February) is also a favorite, with cooler evenings and fewer crowds, perfect for those who enjoy mild temperatures. Summer (June to August) can be very hot, but if you enjoy fewer tourists and great deals, it might be the right time for you.
Most Nile Cruises operate on a full-board basis, meaning your accommodation, daily sightseeing, and meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) are included. Drinks, optional excursions, tips, and personal expenses are usually not part of the package. Some luxury cruises do offer all-inclusive plans with beverages and special services, so it’s worth checking the details of your specific ship.
Pack light, breathable clothing for the daytime and a light jacket or shawl for cooler evenings. Comfortable walking shoes are a must for temple visits, along with a sunhat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect you from the Egyptian sun. Don’t forget a swimsuit if you plan to relax by the pool on board, and a smart casual outfit for evening dinners. A small backpack is also useful for carrying water, cameras, and personal items during excursions.
