Food was surprisingly good with a lovely fresh salad bar, very impressed. The entertainment was great. Very talented belly dancer, tanoura dancer was very entertaining and the singers had us up and dancing. Beautiful on deck watching the Cairo skyline pass by and the ship was beautiful inside. A little bit of a diesel smell was the only detractor. Highly recommended.

Salad was lovely, chicken was also good. Dessert was fine. We didnt travel very far, seemed to go very slow. I think maybe because it was not very busy they wanted to save fuel. Staff were very nice. Entertainment was traditional but a bit cheesy

Booked Nile Maxim for my wife and me on our anniversary—honestly, WOW. The views of the river at sunset were EPIC! Food was super fresh, we had grilled fish and chicken and both were tasty (portions are huge, so come hungry). Staff kept refilling our drinks before we even thought to ask. The belly dancer had everybody clapping, even the shy folks. Only gripe: wish dessert was less sweet. Still, def would do it again.
