Romantic Getaways Giza

Water Activities in Giza

Welcome to Giza, home of the Great Pyramids! While Giza itself does not have access to large bodies of water for traditional water activities like boating or swimming, there are a few options nearby where you can enjoy some fun water experiences.

1. Giza Zoological Garden: Located within the city limits, this zoo houses various animals including a section dedicated to aquatic creatures such as fish, turtles, and crocodiles. The aquarium offers an educational and entertaining experience for all ages.

2. Sakkara Water Park: Approximately 20 kilometers from Giza, Sakkara Water Park offers a day of fun in the sun with water slides, pools, and a wave pool. It’s the perfect escape from the heat! Note that the park is seasonal, so be sure to check their operating hours before you visit.

3. Nile Cruise: A bit further away, but definitely worth the journey, is a Nile cruise tour. Cruises typically depart from Luxor or Aswan and offer multi-day tours along the famous Nile River. On these cruises, you can enjoy various water activities such as fishing, bird watching, and even sunbathing on the deck of your boat.

4. Khan El Khalili Boat Ride: For a more casual water experience, take a ride on one of the traditional wooden boats at Khan el Khalili Bazaar in Islamic Cairo. While not as extensive as a Nile cruise, it’s a great way to see the bustling city from a different perspective.

Remember to always respect local customs and traditions while enjoying these activities, and have a wonderful time exploring Giza!
