A white boat moored on the Nile, its upper deck under an awning, against a palm-lined bank.

Cairo · Zamalek

Le Pacha 1901

A moored boat turned into several restaurants and bars, at Zamalek.

€€€ High end

A large stationary boat housing a dozen venues over several decks: Lebanese, Asian and French kitchens, bars and river terraces. People go as much for dinner as to end the night, and the mood changes from deck to deck.

The extra bit

Ask to see the decks before choosing: menus and prices differ completely from floor to floor.

Know before you go

The boat does not sail: it is a moored venue, the view is fixed.
