Me and friend thoroughly enjoyed the crystal dinner cruise . The meal,the setting,the boat and welcome was top class. The entertainment was more exciting to watch especially the whirling dervish was brilliant. Food was the best i had in Egypt with as much as you like for your fill. Thankyou to the staff, cooks, servers, captain, musicians, entertainers and all who made this a memorable evening. It didn't seem long enough on the lovely Nile

I enjoyed the food, plenty of it and luckily I got a chance to get a plate early. Entertainment was good, the gentleman dancer was very good at keeping the crowd involved. I think the main issue was the drinks being very expensive compared to the rest of Egypt. Would have been nice if filtered water was at least included in the ticket price.

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.

    The trip was shorter than expected (20:50 to 22:00), there was no visibility from to the outside from the dinning room. The "rooftop" of the cruize on the 3rd floor was closed, there was only a small balcony on the 2nd floor. Overall not worth it
