Two standout dinner experiences await in Giza: a private Pyramids dinner and a Nile River cruise. The Pyramids option pairs candlelit dining with a light show against Egypt’s most famous backdrop, serving traditional local dishes and mint tea at sunset. For those who prefer water views, the Nile dinner cruise combines Cairo skyline vistas with a generous buffet and cultural shows.
