This boat, with ten high-quality restaurants, opened in 1992. Asian, Italian, French, and English cuisines are all available, as is a bar with a resident DJ and karaoke that goes on until 2 AM.
4- Climb the Cairo Tower
via Facebook
The Cairo Tower is a 187-metre concrete monolith that stands alone and is perhaps as recognisable a symbol of Egypt as the Pyramids! Naoum Shebib, the Egyptian architect behind the sculpture, designed it with an open-latticed framework meant to imitate the lotus plant, the national flower of Egypt. However, keep in mind that you will have to pay a fee if you want to snap pictures from the highest point of the tower.
5- Grab a Beer at Rooftop Zamalek

Rooftop Zamalek is a vibrant and invigorating spot nestled high above the bustling streets of Zamalek with awesome-looking beer bottle chandeliers! Allow yourself to be transported to a state of pure serenity as the melodies of carefully curated music take over while looking at the Nile.
