“ Great service, food and atmosphere! Mr. Hany specifically provided really great hospitality. Totally recommended ”
“ It was okay, nothing extraordinary. Far from a good dinner cruise ( I worked on a cruise ship for 3 years so I know what I’m talking about). Served us warm white wine, food was nice though, good selection and the show was entertaining however we were promised belly dancers, but there was no belly. The spinning guys (can’t remember what the dance is called) were really good. Guy was not happy when we didn’t want to purchase the pictures they were taking. All in all, not worth the $30 we paid for it. Drinks not included! ”
“ Loved the appetisers! We tried chicken liver and sausage. They were beyond amazing. The main dishes were so poor tho! No variety in side dishes. The grilled chicken wasn’t cooked well. They serve alcohol but only beer and wine. The tables were so unclean. The staff were not professional. They give us one plate and took them a lot of time to give us the second and the drinks. Also, the appetizers took a lot of time to be cooked. The Nile trip was amazing. Prices are so reasonable. ”
“ I recently went on a three-hour sightseeing cruise on the Nile River. It was a very good experience and I enjoyed it a lot. The boat was nice and the atmosphere was perfect for a night out. The dinner was included in the price and the food was delicious. There were many things to try and everything tasted fresh. After dinner, we watched a traditional folk show. The music was great and the belly dancing was very interesting to see. It is a wonderful way to learn about the local culture while relaxing on the water. However, there is one important thing you should know before you go. All drinks are extra. Even plain water is not included in the dinner price. The prices for these drinks on the boat are quite high. If you want to save money, it is a very good idea to bring your own bottle of water or soda from home. If you don't bring your own, you will have to pay a lot at the end of the trip. Overall, it was a beautiful and fun night. I recommend this cruise to everyone, just remember to bring your own water! ”
“ Good experience gingerly drifting over the river Nile in Egypt while having your buffet dinner. Nothing much great about the food. Average taste. Ashamed of the Indians who behave unruly. This is and old cruise ship converted as a tourist attraction. The was way too loud. Good to watch Sufi and Egyptian belly dancing. The place though was too cramped up. The drinks are priced too high. Great view of the river Nile. ”
