Not named on the listing · Nile felucca, Khan el-Khalili

Old Cairo by night, with a felucca

A guide picks you up for a sunset sail on the Nile, then takes you into Khan el-Khalili and the old city after dark, with dinner and a stop at El Fishawy café. Pick it for the evening itself: it's the only tour here that shows the bazaar when it's busiest, for one flat price per person.

Night Tour: Khan, Dinner and a Felucca

About this experience

This is the evening tour of the set, and the only one not priced by group size. The listing's three stops are a felucca on the Nile at sunset, about two hours in Khan el-Khalili and El Fishawy, the old café inside the bazaar. The title adds a mosque, and guests describe their guide explaining the history of the mosques on the way. Dinner is included; guests mention koshary at Abou Tarek and shawarma.

The price is $39 per person, flat. It covers the guide, dinner, "entrances to all venues" and pickup and return. Drinks and tips are extra, and pickup from the airport area or New Cairo costs $10 more. There's one booking option, so there's nothing to decode. That makes it the easiest price on this site to trust: what you see per head is what you pay per head.

One thing the listing gets wrong. It calls the tour private, but guests report being combined with other bookings: a solo traveller who joined a family, a couple who shared with another guest. Most didn't mind, and one two-star reviewer who had booked expecting privacy did. Treat it as a small group. Reviews stand at 4.8 from 263, and the guides, Ahmed and Amr above all, get named in review after review.

What guests say

★★★★★

Felucca was the hit of the night tour. So relaxing to seal at the Nile river!!! [...] He texted us the exact time to pick us up and he was the exact time waiting for our tour.He also share some tips of how to do our shopping and accommodate prices at the bazaar. Dinner was delicious too!

Wonderful evening tour! The ride on the Nile was lovely and pleasant considering how hot it was. Dinner was delicious and the market at night is much more exciting and vibrant than during the day.

This was a great evening out, I felt safe, happy and well looked after. My guide was helpful and knowledgable. I was a solo traveller and a family also booked on the excursion.. we all got on well and had a great laugh.

They even picked me up from GEM which saved me a lot of time. From the feluca ride at sunset to the shawarma at the end was wonderful.

Tips before you book

  • Expect company. The listing says private, but guests report joining other bookings. If privacy matters, ask before you book.
  • Send dietary needs twice: once at booking and again to the guide. One guest's request never reached him.
  • Bring cash for drinks, tips and anything you buy in the bazaar. A guest's advice for the stalls: "Just politely say no thank you."
  • Book for a clear evening. The felucca is timed for sunset, and a guest notes it was pleasant even in summer heat.
  • Staying near the airport or in New Cairo? Budget the $10 pickup supplement.
