Dusk softens Cairo's skyline and the Nile takes on a second life: lamps glitter on low-rise facades, the corniche exhales warm air, and a slim riverboat motors away from the quay. Board for a two-hour night cruise, find a table on the open deck or under a shaded roof, and let the current push you past lit bridges, modern hotels, and the occasional mosque minaret.

Bring a light layer
Evenings on the Nile can be cooler than on land; a light jacket or shawl keeps you comfortable on the open deck.
Carry small change
Tipping performers, waitstaff, and drivers is common—have small bills in local currency ready.
Choose your seat wisely
For photos and quieter atmosphere, pick a stern table; for close-up views of the show sit nearer the stage.
Watch for boarding steps
Boarding can involve a short gangway and slightly moving deck—stable shoes and caution help, especially for older travelers.
