The start time was accurate the staff seated us at allocated tables. Drinks mildly expensive but nice and cold. Buffet was good especially the salad bar. Entertainment started with a warm up from like a animation type team they were ok. When later the singers and belly dancer came on they were great but I think my favourite was the spinning man he had the audience in the palm of his hands with his talent and his own personality shone through when engaging the audience...10 out of 10 for me 🎉☺️🎉

It was entertaining and the food was good, but it seemed extremely rushed. We also only got to take pictures towards the end, and only from a small deck, so.noy very comfortable

Enjoyed every bit of the cruise. The onboarding, the food, the entertainment, and the views were all worth every cent I spent. It would be great to let someone choose their preferred deck, though. Also I felt there is a need for a disclaimer about the age bracket for admission to the cruise, especially due to the belly dancers part of the entertainment

A private vehicle picks you up from your Cairo or Giza hotel for the round-trip transfer (if selected). For the sunset cruise, pickup is 60 minutes before the 6pm departure. For the late cruise, pickup falls between 7pm and 7:30pm for the 8:30pm departure, or between 9pm and 9:30pm for the 11pm departure. Your window seat is assigned ahead of boarding, so you head straight to your table once on deck.

The cruise sails the Nile past two of Cairo's best-known landmarks: Cairo Tower and the Qasr El Nil Bridge. Dinner is served buffet-style, with separate vegetarian and non-vegetarian spreads, so you can go back for more of what you like rather than working through a set menu.

Features

Your table sits by the window for the full sailing, so the skyline views aren't blocked by other diners or staff moving through.

Live Tanoura performers spin in their signature colorful skirts, a Sufi-rooted dance style specific to Egypt.

Belly dancing and a live music set run alongside dinner, so you're not choosing between eating and watching the show.
