Overview
Where a felucca drifts, a yacht goes where you point it. The boat is a modern motor cruiser with an air-conditioned saloon below and an open deck above, and for the hour it is entirely yours — no other party aboard and no fixed route.
It runs the reach between Zamalek and Maadi, the widest and best-lit water in Cairo, and the captain will hold position wherever you want to stay a while. There is a sound system you can play your own music through, a fridge of cold drinks, and enough deck to spread out on.
It gets booked for proposals, for birthdays, and for groups who simply want the river without sharing it. Evening slots go first.
Highlights
- The whole yacht, up to twelve people
- Open upper deck and an air-conditioned saloon
- Play your own music through the boat
- Cold soft drinks, water and ice included
- The captain stops wherever you want to linger
