Cairo by Night City Tour

Cairo by Night City Tour

See Cairo after dark: the Citadel terrace panorama, the lantern-lit lanes of Khan El Khalili and the illuminated Fatimid architecture of Al-Muizz Street.

Book Tour

Overview

Cairo changes completely after sunset. The heat drops, the traffic thins on the corniche and the monuments that look flat under the midday glare are lit from below. This evening tour is built around that shift. You start high, on the Citadel terrace, where the whole city spreads out and the Giza pyramids sit on the horizon on a clear night. Then you come down into the medieval quarter, where Al-Muizz Street holds one of the densest concentrations of Islamic architecture anywhere in the world, and Khan El Khalili is still trading under its lanterns. Your licensed guide handles the navigation and the tea order at El Fishawy, the coffee house that has been open in the bazaar since the eighteenth century. Transport is private and air-conditioned throughout. Trip information Duration: Evening Schedule: Daily Tour location: Cairo and Giza Pickup location: Your hotel in Cairo or Giza Tour type: Private

FAQ

Are entrance tickets included in the price?

The price covers your private licensed guide, the air-conditioned vehicle and the driver. Site entrance tickets are quoted separately so you only pay for what you choose to enter. Your written proposal lists every ticket and its cost before you pay anything.

Can I be collected from a Nile cruise instead of a hotel?

Yes. Pickup from a moored cruise ship, a hotel, the airport or the train station all work; just tell us where you will be. If your ship is double-moored, your guide meets you on the dock side and walks you across.

I am travelling with children. Do they pay the full price?

Children under 6 travel free of charge on this tour. Ages 6 to 11.99 pay 50 per cent of the tour price, and from 12 years a child pays the full adult rate. Tell us your children's ages when you enquire and the quote reflects them.

Is the price per person or for the whole group?

On this Cairo tour the published rate is $225 for one traveller, $140 each for two, and $130 each from three people upward. All prices on this page are in US dollars per person, and the rate drops as the group grows because the vehicle, guide and driver are shared across more travellers.
