Folks, I want you to imagine that you and your spouse are on your honeymoon or some special occasion like that. Oddly enough, the destination you chose is Cairo, Egypt. By the way, what you’re reading is something called a back story.

But why Cairo? Well, aside from hearing of some gigantic pyramids that seem to have been questionably built by aliens, you know that there’s another wonder to be enjoyed on your vacation, the Future Boat. I know, the name lacks a certain something, but then again, designer Nada Elhadedy envisioned this vessel for a future that hasn’t happened yet, so you know, it’s right there.

Personally, I don’t really care what it’s called because for a foodie like me, this vessel brings dining and style to the waters of the Nile or any city with waterways for that matter. What we’re looking at is simply a restaurant, specifically, a floating restaurant.

Yes, folks, this floating piece of art is designed as a place in which dining and others social events, take place. Unlike a yacht, this craft does not have any sort of sleeping spaces available or crew quarters. Neither does it include any kind of massive engines to move everything along, as no one wants to be spilling coffee on themselves.

Now that we know what it’s meant for, how about a close look at how something like this can be made real? Unfortunately, we have nothing more on the design front that the photos you see in the gallery, so it is a bit difficult to understand how it all works. But, with a bit of imagination, anything can be achieved, except flying without a parachute.

At the front of this structure, because frankly, it feels wrong to call it a boat, we have a wide bow that’s really there to help break the waves a bit so that the craft and guest don’t start rocking. However, it also seems that the bow allows for a large patio area on which guests can enjoy an open-air chat.

At the rear, we find a small garden to help guests look at something more than just concrete and metal. Also at the rear, we find access to the upper level, which allows for outdoor dining and lounging. All along the lateral walls of this space, we also find bench seating ready with cushions to allow for a relaxed visit.

The lower level, however, is where all the glitz and glam takes place. Here we find the interior dining hall. And even though we don’t have any images of this space, we can see some of what's inside if we look closely behind those curtains.

Personally, I am down to enjoy coffee or dinner on such an amazing structure. I also feel that sooner or later, if it hasn’t happened already somewhere on this planet, this idea is just perfect for the next upscale restaurant. Just imagine reserving this entire sucker for you and your friends one evening. Sounds good, doesn’t it?
