This private Cairo night tour spends about 4 hours showing you the city centre once the heat of the day has gone. With a guide and private transfers from your hotel in Cairo or Giza, you combine a horse-drawn carriage ride, a walk through downtown and a drive along the Nile.

What you will see

The evening covers the places where modern Cairo comes together. You pass Tahrir Square, the city’s best-known square, and walk through downtown streets lined with early 20th-century buildings, cafés and bookshops. You then follow the Nile Corniche and cross to Zamalek, the leafy island district, where you see Cairo Tower from the outside. Along the way you enjoy a carriage ride and stop for an ice cream.
