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

A really lovely cruise, nice food, and super dancing and singing. You can go outside and watch the Nile flow past, complete with water hyacinths and palm fronds

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.

Best dinner we had in Cairo, hands down. The cruise itself was super smooth and barely felt like you were moving. The entertainment was awesome, especially the tanoura dancer—how does he not get dizzy? Steak was juicy but order it medium or it comes well done. Staff helped my grandma get in/out of the boat, which was really appreciated.

Went with my friends and had a blast! The music was loud but that’s kinda the vibe. We got window seats and the city lights reflecting on the Nile were soooo pretty. Food was good, not mind blowing, but the show is what you come for. Bit crowded (guess that’s normal in July), and we waited maybe 15 mins to board but worth it.

I went solo and honestly felt super welcome. The staff kept checking if I needed anything, and the table next to me shared their bread basket (lol). The live music was groovy and the atmosphere felt fancy but not stuffy. Sat by the window and just zoned out watching the river. So relaxing, 10/10 for solo travelers.
