The food was good. The length of the cruise was good. The vibe outside the boat was amazing and not to mention the views. The music was also great. Good experience that you don't get in many places. Would definitely recommend.

I loved the experience the crew creates with serene views and I can say o was serendipitous tonne one to witness. I will suggest to always go for upper deck to see the dazzling skyscrapers and mesmerising calmness of the sea.

I selected the dhow cruise on a special occasion and it really made the day. Viewing the scenic skyscraper and having food, music and dance all combined to make a fruitful experience.

Overall, the boat experience with Alexander was very enjoyable. Great atmosphere, good music, tasty food, and beautiful views — everything was well organized and we truly enjoyed the trip. However, there was one unpleasant issue with the payment. We ordered prosecco for 250 AED. Since we did not have enough dirhams, we paid 100 USD. We received 20 USD in change, but the banknotes were very old and worn out, and I was unable to exchange them anywhere. This was the only downside to an otherwise very good experience, but payment details like this do affect the overall impression. I hope this can be taken into account in the future.

Everything about this experience was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, the service was exceptional — the staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure every guest felt comfortable and special. The meals were delicious, offering a perfect variety of flavors that matched the elegance of the evening. The dance show was full of energy and entertainment, creating a joyful and lively atmosphere on board. The view from the cruise was breathtaking, especially as the city lights reflected beautifully on the water — truly a magical scene. It was also wonderful meeting new people and sharing this beautiful experience together. Overall, everything — the service, food, entertainment, and view — came together perfectly for an unforgettable night. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Alexandria! 🌅✨
