Ride-hailing app Uber has partnered up with the leading Nile river transport company NileTaxi to introduce UberBoat in Cairo, offering riders more convenient transportation options away from the chaotic Cairo traffic for a limited time. With the tap of a button, riders can now request an UberBoat and take a laid-back ride to their destination, while enjoying the mesmerizing view of the Nile. “We are very excited to partner up with NileTaxi to launch UberBoat in Cairo, providing our riders with more options to commute within Cairo while avoiding traffic. “Open the Uber app, tap on the pickup location box, drag your pin and drop it anywhere on the Nile. Enter a destination in the ‘Where to?’ box, select the UberBoat vehicle view – right next to UberX and UberSELECT – and then tap ‘Request UberBoat’,” the statement explained.
