Fun for a group night. The singer had everyone clapping along. Food was ok, but we really came for the show. Nice views from the side windows.
SO much fun with friends! Danced half the night. Staff were cooool and let us take pics with the performers. Food was decent, especially the fish.
Family night out was a HIT! Kids loved the show, esp the guy spinning for like 10 minutes straight. Food was fresh, staff checked in on us. Would go again.
Not bad, not great. Felt a bit rushed at dinner and the best tables were reserved. Show was lively. Would’ve liked more info on landmarks.
Meh, honestly expected more. The staff were nice but the boat felt old. The show was the main draw. Food was nothing special.
So much fun! Our kids loved the dancers, esp the one spinning with all the colors. Food better than I thought for a buffet. Staff super friendly.
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.
Such a cool night out! We danced, ate, and took so many pics. Boat staff made us feel welcome. Pro tip – skip the dessert, stick with the mains.
Brought my mom – she LOVED the show. The dancer in the colorful skirt was amazing. Boat was crowded, but staff found us seats. Food was fine.
Mixed feelings. The show was entertaining but really loud. Couldn’t hear my friend half the time. Food was ok but nothing special. River at sunset was pretty.
Had my birthday here! Staff made a big fuss, sang happy birthday, and the whole table joined in. Show was a riot. Best part: dancing with the performers.
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.
Booked last minute. Wasn’t sure what to expect but ended up really enjoying the dance acts. The belly dancer was super energetic. Boat took a while to leave, so we just chilled and watched the city. Would go again with more friends.
Went with friends, had a blast! The spinning guy had us all mesmerized. Boat was clean, staff friendly. Buffet line was long but food was tasty.
Went solo and ended up chatting with a bunch of other travelers. Good vibes. The MC was funny and kept things moving. Food was decent (the chicken curry was tasty).
Went solo, made new friends at my table. Show was lively. Buffet gets crowded, but staff help you out. Nice view of the skyline.
Best night in Cairo! Went with my partner and we danced, laughed, and ate way too much. Staff even helped us get a taxi back. 10/10!
We came as a family (kids 7 & 10) and they LOVED the spinning dancer. Staff were super sweet to the kids. Food was better than we expected. Little crowded at the buffet but otherwise a fun night out.
Took my mum for her birthday. Staff surprised us with a cake! Boat was a bit old but clean. Weather was chilly so bring a jacket if you wanna sit outside.
Perfect for families! My daughter got to meet the dancers after the show, which made her night. Buffet was busy but staff helped us find seats. Dessert was a bit dry but the mains were delicious.
Totally worth it for the river views alone. Show was a bit cheesy but fun. Staff made sure everyone was comfortable. Would do again.
Super night! Came with friends and had a blast. The singer did birthday requests and got everyone clapping. Food was good (loved the eggplant dish), but dessert was kinda meh. Wish the cruise was longer!
Good for families, but don’t expect fine dining. The kids were entertained, but the adults were a bit bored with the show after a while.
Food’s just average, but the entertainment saves it. The dervish dancer spun like a tornado – wild! Drinks cost extra, just FYI. The upper deck was windy but nice for pics.
Food was just ok. The show was fun, especially the spinning guy. Seating is tight, so get there early if you want a window.

We really liked Amaal as a tour guide. She was always friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. We would book a tour of Cairo with Amaal again and again. Thank you very much, dear Amaal.
Nice guide and driver. Pyramids are amazing.
We had Bossi as our tour-guide who was very informative. She is an ex-archeologist, so her knowledge was thorough and she was easy to talk/listen to. Our driver was Mahammad who was very attentive and nothing was too difficult for him and he navigated the Cairo traffic with ease. The tour was exceptionally done and was one of the highlight of our trip. The only negatives was we were taken to a high-end souvenir store which seemed like an organised sales pitch and although we enjoyed the Felucca down the Nile it just aimless floated about with no real direction.
les heures que nous avons passées avec Nohran étaient les plus belles avec mon fils. nohran est exceptionnelle , gentille, professionnelle. des pyramides au chameau en passant par la balade en felouch, c'était un rêve. J'ai été impressionnée par Nohran.elle est unique
We really enjoyed our tour. Mohamed was kind and very knowledgeable. He even gave us a heads up on what to expect from people selling souvenirs at the base of the pyramids. The van was clean, cool from the AC, and comfortable.
The tour was well organized, with the right timing. The guide and driver contacted us the day before to set up the meeting, to which they showed up very punctually. The guide Samaa was really outstanding, alternating moments where he explained the site and the various monuments with others where he helped us with photos. During the felucca ride then we were able to talk and compare notes about our respective countries, a really pleasant and intelligent person. The driver (whose name I unfortunately cannot remember) always drove calmly and carefully in the chaotic traffic, also always smiling and ready to take us from one place to another. The car was new, clean and smelled good. We could not have asked for better for our vacation.
The nice boat ride at the end was a nice way to end the day. I enjoyed the pyramids. Giza Plateau is something you can visit on your own but if you want the history behind each pyramid then a guide is the way to go. I loved that our tour guide was honest about what we would see in the pyramids and warned us ahead of time of the small spaces!
The tour guide was awesome he explained everything in detail about the history and helped us to take awesome pictures. He was very helpful and friendly with all of us
The guide was very competent and interesting in his explanations! very kind and honest person. He gave us advice for our stay in Cairo. Advice
Tony was very knowledgeable about the history of Egypt, the pyramids, the Sphinx and the Nile. We felt totally safe with him .
Le fait de ne rien avoir à gérer. Le fait d'avoir des explications claires en français. Le professionnalisme du guide et du chauffeur.
It was a very good experience Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The felucca boat route was a good end as it brought some tranquility to this journey
The tour was a highlight of our trip. A private guide and exceptional service made us feel like VIPs. Our guide, Mostafa, was truly amazing. His personality and knowledge outshone the hight of the pyramids.
A great experience, very well organised. Amir our guide was great and very friendly and informative. Really appreciated the pick up from the airport and everything went smoothly. Every communication with yourselves and parters was first class and would highly recommend to others. The overall experience was fanstasic and the pyramids were amazing!
It has been an incredible experience and we have very good memories.
Excellent, very knowledgeable guide. Very fun to be around him and driver too

We booked this cruise as a family of four (kids are 9 & 14) and honestly, I wasn’t expecting much—just something to fill an evening. But it turned out pretty EPIC! The staff were suuuper friendly, like, our waiter even helped my son pick out his dessert. The boat stayed at the dock for a bit longer than I thought (maybe 30 mins?), so we got to explore the upper deck before setting off. The show was a mix of wild spinning dancers and some music—my daughter tried to copy the moves and almost fell over, lol. The food was fine, not gourmet, but decent for a buffet with lots of options (the rice pudding was the best part for me!). It was a little crowded but didn’t feel too squished. One tip: if you want a window table, ask early. We got lucky. Overall, totally worth it for a chill night on the water.
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!
Nice experience overall. Went with work colleagues. The show was energetic and the host made sure everyone was involved. Food was fine, nothing special, but enough choices for vegetarians. The upper deck was windy but had the best views. Try to get up there before everyone else!
Good for a group night out but not super romantic if you’re hoping for that. There were kids running around and the dining area gets LOUD. The show is fun for the first 20 mins then gets a bit repetitive. Decent way to see the river though.
Booked for my girlfriend’s birthday and it was a hit! The staff surprised us with a little cake (didn’t even ask, so sweet). The sunset was GORGEOUS from the top deck. We took a million photos (tip: the best background is right before the sun disappears). Show was fun, food was better than expected. Would recommend for a special night.
What a fun night! We had a group of 8 and everyone found something to enjoy, even the picky eaters. The tanoura dancer was so colorful and my aunt couldn’t stop talking about his skirt. Only downside: lots of people crowding the buffet at first. Go for seconds after the show, much less busy!
It’s ok if you’re in the mood for something touristy. The acts are entertaining, especially for kids, but the food is just average and the drinks are pricey. The view from the top deck made up for it though.
I went solo and was worried I’d feel awkward, but the staff made me feel right at home. The MC even called me up to dance (I said no but laughed a lot). The food was good, especially the chicken. Make sure to save room for dessert! Met some cool ppl at my table. Recommend for solo travelers for sure.
Good cruise for family fun. My kids loved the spinning dancer, but food was a bit cold. The staff were friendly, and we had a nice evening. Could be less crowded, but still enjoyable.
Went with my partner. The cruise didn’t move much and the music was LOUD. Food was fine and the show was okay but not my thing. Nice to see the city lights though.
Def one of our best nights in town! The dancing was wild, and I couldn’t believe how much energy the performers had. Buffet got crowded at first, so we waited and ended up with fresher plates. Staff were super helpful, even helped us take group pics! Would go again.
Nice evening with friends. The show was fun but the highlight was actually the view from the upper deck. Food was average but filling. Would’ve liked more info about the sights though.
Loved every minute! The cruise felt special, especially when the city lights came on. My husband and I danced along with the performers, and the staff didn’t mind us being silly. The food was better than I thought, especially the falafel. Worth every penny.
Good atmosphere. Went with my girlfriend and we enjoyed the music and dancing. Not a fan of the buffet system (got a bit messy) but the desserts were actually really good. Staff were friendly.
It was ok. The show was fun but loud, and the food was just average. Went with friends and we had a laugh. Not something I’d do twice, but glad I tried it.
Took my parents and they absolutely LOVED it. The staff took great care of us, even offering to bring tea to our table after dinner. Show was fun, especially the guy with the colorful skirt. It was busy, but the energy was great. Would go again for sure.
Fun night overall. The performances are the highlight for sure. Food was okay (loved the bread tho). Gets crowded at the start, so arrive early if you want a good seat.
The show was cool, esp the spinning dancer, but food was not great. Waited a while for drinks and the boat didn’t really leave the dock much. Not bad for a group activity though.
We had a wonderful night! The staff sang happy birthday for my mom and brought her a little cake with a candle. Made her night! The show was energetic and fun, and the food was much better than I’d read about. Would recommend.
Went with friends and had a blast! The dancers were really good and the staff joined in for a song at the end. Food was average but the atmosphere made up for it.
Show is fun if you haven’t seen it before. Food is meh, but enough to fill you up. The MC was cooool and made everyone laugh.
Such a fun night! Went solo and ended up chatting with a lovely couple from France. The show is lively and the staff are happy to take photos for you. Food was better than expected, esp the desserts.
Good cruise for families. My kids loved the music and dancing. The boat stayed at the dock for a while but the staff kept us entertained. Food was okay. Would go again.
