We went on this beautiful boat to celebrate my daughter’s 6th birthday. She was very happy, and so were we. The food is fantastic. The atmosphere is great. The nighttime cruise on the Nile, while unforgettable, doesn’t quite fit well into an evening where everything wraps up quickly in two hours flat. As a result, I wasn’t able to both enjoy the beautiful show and go up to the upper deck to take in the view during the cruise. That’s what really bothered me.

The driver was on time in a lovely clean car and he assisted with our tickets once we arrived. The boat was beautifully decorated in an Egyptian theme. Food was hot, plentiful and very tasty, we enjoyed everything on offer. There were six different entertainers, from exotic dancing, saxophonists, singing and drums, all very good and really got the crowd moving. Beer was not as expensive as London so that was a bonus. Overall, we would highly recommend this cruise option, really was faultless.

Enjoy a freshly prepared international buffet dinner while cruising the Nile on a beautifully designed pharaonic-style boat.

Watch traditional performances come to life with graceful belly dancing and the colorful, spinning Tanoura show.

Step out onto the deck for uninterrupted evening views of Cairo’s skyline, lit up against the night sky.

After the performances, unwind with a mix of Western and Oriental music that sets a relaxed mood on board.

Upgrade your experience with convenient round-trip hotel transfers in an air-conditioned vehicle.

The bad thing that caught the attention of foreign guests was the dancer's collection of tips from the tables and her begging manner in front of the guests.
