A wonderful two-hour cruise on the Nile, with warm and engaging entertainment. All the dances were beautiful, from belly dancing to the whirling dervishes. Delicious buffet food with an excellent selection of desserts. Our driver, Mohamed, was extremely kind and helpful; he waited for us outside the cruise to take us back to our hotel in comfort. Highly recommended!

The experience surpassed my expectations in Egypt. We received an excellent service. The warm welcome, the setup in the restaurant cruise. I really enjoyed the food, dessert, an entertainment performances and friendly staff. It was a great experience on my birthday and the band performance sang for me. Nile crystal cruise is the best and good value for money.

It was a wonderful experience, the cruise was truly thrilling. The buffet cuisine offers a truly vast selection, and the beverage selection is extensive. Sailing along the Nile at sunset is truly captivating, and seeing the lights of Cairo at night is truly extraordinary.
