Go on an Eid al-Adha Cruise to Qalyubia & Back With Cairo River Bus

Just in time for those special family trips up and down the Nile, the Cairo River Bus will offer daily six-hour cruises throughout the Eid al-Adha holiday, taking passengers from El Mazallat to Al Qanatir Al Khayriyyah.

The two-story air-conditioned ship will take off with 50 people from its marina in El Mazzallat’s Happy Land near Tahya Misr Bridge. The cruise will sail to Al Qanatir Al Khayriyyah, a city in Qalyubia known for being the site of the Delta Barrages, the first modern irrigation structure across the Nile.

Tickets for these round-trips from El Mazallat to Al Qanatir Al Khayriyyah cost EGP 60, while tickets for its usual hour-long trips cost EGP 30. Both trips are free for all children on board. The Cairo River Bus regularly takes Cairenes on daily hour-long trips on the Nile, with special long cruises during national holidays.
