  The whirling dervish was awesome and unexpected ! Bring cash for drinks. Food at the buffet is fine, satisfying. Good for a party crowd- drinks, excitement and dancing ! Thanks to Basem for getting us there, getting us a table center stage, and getting us home safely!

  The positives: It was a beautiful night. Winds in Egypt can be brutal so the calm water made it a beautiful evening. The wait staff are attentive and friendly. The drinks were strong and good. The main course was delicious. The male dancer was entertaining and came to every table. The cons: the music is extremely loud. The salad buffet was nothing special. The belly dancer only interacted with two people so if you were not placed at the main tables you couldn’t really see her. The male dancer was looking for gratuities. The ride is literally one hour and 49 minutes.

  If you want to go see a belly dancer, she's great but the rest of the entertainment is pretty terrible. The music is much louder than necessary and there are long boring gaps as the entertainers visit each table individually. Service is ok but weird. They rushed us through ordering because the kitchen needed the orders but we were early why the rush? Food was ok but not special and certainly not luxury. I will say the desserts were very good but no coffee or tea offered. I can't recommend it as a must see. Full videos will be up shortly on our YouTube page. Search for DOUGandNIKI anywhere and you will find us.

  O passeio valeu à pena somente para termos uma idéia da cidade do Cairo, nas regiões às margens do Rio Nilo. O show de musicas e danças é fraquinho. A comida também não é grande coisa. Como a cidade do Cairo é caótica e insegura, não sentimos segurança para sair do hotel é dar uma volta pela cidade, o que era feito somente durante os passeios do dia, acompanhado de um guia. A cidade, além de tudo, é feia e suja...então foi uma forma de fazermos um passeio a noite e conhecer a região do Nilo.

  The boat is pretty nice - but it is very expensive to pre book this as we realised it was half the price to book via your hotel in cairo. Same tour is also offered by other tour companies on Viator for cheaper so keep this in mind. Food is set menu veal chicken or fish so not too bad. The drinks are not included - and like in most Egyptian tourist places - they do not give you a menu even if you ask. 2 soft drinks ended up costing us 8 quid but pretty much everybody next to us was not happy about the prices of drinks once they give you the bill at the end of the meal - the waiter was also a bit cheeky in that I had given him roughly 180EGP 6 extra as I had no change, he automatically assumed it was a tip which i said no and would like my change back. However he never returned to give the change back. Lesson learn: always carry change.
