Fun for a group night. The singer had everyone clapping along. Food was ok, but we really came for the show. Nice views from the side windows.

So much fun! Our kids loved the dancers, esp the one spinning with all the colors. Food better than I thought for a buffet. Staff super friendly.

Booked the Nile dinner cruise for my first night in Cairo and honestly it was a BLAST! Went solo but didn’t feel awkward at all—ended up chatting with a group from Spain at the next table. The staff were super smiley, and the belly dancer was seriously talented. Buffet was hot and I tried way too many things (def recommend the kofta). Only minus was drinks not included so bring a little extra cash. The city lights from the upper deck are just magical. Would go again if I had more time.

The cruise is a fun way to see Cairo at night. Not super romantic (tables are close together) but the vibe is lively. We loved the tanoura dancer! Food was hit or miss but desserts were surprisingly delish. Book early if u want a window seat.

We celebrated my dad’s birthday here. Staff brought out a cake and sang (off-key but cute!). The music is LOUD, but the energy is infectious. The chicken kebab is really good and so is the rice. Don’t skip the appetizers. Only thing: air conditioning could be stronger, got a bit warm in the middle.

Went with a group of friends, and it was a fun evening. We did wait a while before the boat actually moved (felt like forever tbh) but once we got going, the city lights were really cool. Food was just okay, but everyone was into the show—especially the spinning guy, he was a LEGEND. Didn’t love the belly dancing (not my vibe), but the atmosphere was lively, and staff didn’t mind us taking loads of pics. Would go again if I had visitors in town.
