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.

The food was ok, cold, it was very loud. No notice of time pickup only when driver called and was at hotel. Rush to get everyone there then. Purchase 2 tickets extra by mistake and no refund option which was terrible after purchasing another 9 tickets.
