A felucca silhouetted against an orange Nile sunset

Cairo · On the Nile

Nile evening & market

Cairo at its gentlest: a felucca on the Nile as the light fades, followed by the lanterns and stalls of a traditional market.

The experience

An Evening on the Nile & a Local Market

After a day of monuments, the river is the best place to slow down. A pre-arranged felucca ride shows Cairo from the water, at its most beautiful towards sunset.

If timing allows, the evening continues in a traditional market, among lamps, crafts and cafés, with time to browse at your own pace.
