Salad was lovely, chicken not quite as 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

Simply wonderful luxury cruise on the Nile! An experience taken care of in every detail, ideal for enjoying the Nile in total relaxation and comfort. The ship is splendid, with refined atmosphere, excellent and abundant food and impeccable organization. The typical musical entertainment made the evenings truly special, allowing one to immerse oneself in Egyptian culture in an authentic and engaging way. The service was excellent: private cab, very punctual and very comfortable, with pick-up and drop-off at the hotel, making everything very relaxing and stress-free. An experience that combines luxury, culture and fun, perfect for those who want to experience the Nile in the best possible way. Absolutely recommended, 5-star!

I liked the show, I liked the tour, but I think the price was exorbitant for the food we were given, especially since drinks weren't included. I think it's a way to rip off tourists. On a separate note, they told me to arrive an hour or half an hour early, and we had to wait a long time.

It was very nice cruising the Nile at night and seeing all the lights. Unfortunately the boat reeked of cigarette smoke. The food was ok not great and the entertainment was good. The guide originally showed up at the wrong Sofitel Hotel.
