At Nox, couples can relive the magic of nostalgic music with a tribute to the Beatles. “Glass Onion” band, who possess fantastic high energy performance, will have couples dancing the night away. The talented Brits understood love better than the best of us, so it wouldn’t be Valentine’s without the Beatles. The party will also be hosted by DJ Ahmed Ghandokly, the romantic sounds of violinist Samira Riachy and a belly dance performance by Sahar, all with an exclusive dine and party rooftop experience with a magical view of the Nile. One phone call and EGP 600+ per person (including 3 bar bites and chocolate strawberry dips), you could guarantee yourself a table at Nox!

At the rustic Italian restaurant Vivo, you will be served a 5 course dinner, along with a bottle of wine per couple starting from EGP 700, while you take in the breathtaking scenery of the Nile.

And after one is tired from dancing and singing the night away, The Nile Ritz is offering ‘Be My Valentine’ room packages that are exclusive to Valentine dinners.
