Me and friend thoroughly enjoyed the crystal dinner cruise . The meal,the setting,the boat and welcome was top class. The entertainment was more exciting to watch especially the whirling dervish was brilliant. Food was the best i had in Egypt with as much as you like for your fill. Thankyou to the staff, cooks, servers, captain, musicians, entertainers and all who made this a memorable evening. It didn't seem long enough on the lovely Nile

Went with my bf and honestly, the view from the upper deck was EPIC! We waited a while before the boat actually moved (like, almost 45 mins just sitting at the dock) but once we got going, the city lights were gorgeous. Food was just ok – kinda lukewarm but plenty of it. The whirling dervish guy was suuuper impressive. Would skip the dessert next time but def worth it for the vibes.

Took my parents for their anniversary. Staff were all smiles, made my folks feel special. Got a window table! Show was a bit cheesy but fun, esp the tanoura dancer. Food wasn’t fancy, but tasted fresh. Pro tip: get there early or you’re stuck in the back.

    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.
