The tour company Emo...

The tour company Emo cancelled my tour and Viator failed to notify me. Viator continued to send messages that stated I would be picked up at 5:00. Waited almost an hour. This is the second time I have had this happen through Viator.

A must see

The show is fantastic and is a must. Presumably started at 19 but started at 19.50. The van picked us up at 17:45. A lot of waiting but it is Egypt. The guide was a good guy looking after us very well

Fabulous Experience!

Fantastic show! If you’re the type of tourist looking for a culture experience outside the typical visit to the pyramids, you’ll love this. The show is about 1 1/2 hours long, but arrive early so you can get a good seat. I booked a 5:30pm pickup but the company changed it to 6pm, which was fine, but it meant we didn’t get seats near the front. There’s an option to eat dinner before the show, I don’t know if that means you get reserved front row seats, I couldn’t find out. The show is in a historical, roofless building (loved). The seats are just basic chairs, not super comfortable but it was worth the pain lol. I strongly suggest book thru a guide, the theatre is hard to find & in a slightly sketchy area, I was very glad to pay a little extra to have the guide & driver. The show itself is music & folk dancing, it was such a treat, if they brought this to Disney at Epcot it would be a full house every show. Plan accordingly as I believe the show is only twice a week. We planned our trip around this and it was worth it!
