Went with a group of friends, and it was a fun evening. We did wait a while before the boat actually moved (felt like forever tbh) but once we got going, the city lights were really cool. Food was just okay, but everyone was into the show—especially the spinning guy, he was a LEGEND. Didn’t love the belly dancing (not my vibe), but the atmosphere was lively, and staff didn’t mind us taking loads of pics. Would go again if I had visitors in town.

So, the cruise was...fine? Not the best night out ever but not terrible either. The food was kinda cold by the time we got to it and there was a queue for drinks. The performers put in a lot of energy though, and my dad liked the music. It gets loud inside, so if you’re hoping for a quiet dinner, this isn’t it. Still, we laughed a lot and the view was pretty once we got out on the river.

The cruise was a highlight for our trip! I went with my husband and both of us loved the tanoura dancer (how do they not get dizzy?!). Our table was right next to the window, so we had a great view of the city lights reflecting on the water. Staff was kind and even brought us extra bread when they saw we liked it. The music got a bit loud for me at times, but overall, sooooo worth it!

Sail along the Nile at sunset and watch Cairo’s skyline glow in golden hues as day turns to night.

The transfer by the tour operator "Luna travel" was perfect. Excellent communication prior to departure, great driver, polite, friendly, very good and professional driver. On the cruise side also everything was good but duration of the trip was about 1 hour and 15 minutes only. This meant a very compact schedule including very quick buffet dinner and long queue of the passengers. But soon the buffet was closed and they had to quickly clean up the place for next cruise. The entertainment was also good with several performances but again the time was too short. In a normal restaurant for a relaxed evening dinner you would need at least 2 hours to enjoy the food and the evening but this was just too short. Overall it was a great experience and the highlight of this activity was the transfer from and to the hotel. Thank you.

The driver was a bit rude and pushy offering other private tours, the food was ok. The entertainment was nice. There was no guided tour, just they open the buffet and start the entertainment.
