Dinner Cruise On the Nile with Belly Dancing Show

This was, without question, the worst experience we had during our trip to Egypt. Our dinner cruise was scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m., but after receiving no pickup information, we began messaging the tour operator from 2:00 p.m. We received no response. We called the number listed on Viator, had our hotel concierge try to contact them, and still heard nothing. We even contacted Viator and chatted with their assistant but to no avail. Around 7:45 pm, assuming we had been forgotten, we walked to a nearby restaurant, put our names on the waiting list, and decided to celebrate our special occasion there instead. Then, close to 8:00 p.m., we finally received a WhatsApp message saying they were on their way to pick us up. At that point, we assumed we had already missed the cruise and were not interested in going anymore, but the drivers repeatedly asked us to give the experience a chance. Reluctantly, we agreed, and we regret that decision. What was advertised was not what we experienced. While it was technically a boat, it never left the dock, so there was no Nile cruise. The vessel itself was in extremely poor condition. It was dirty, the tablecloths were stained, and the overall cleanliness was unacceptable. The food was equally disappointing and of very poor quality. The experience was so unpleasant that we left after only 20 minutes. To make matters worse, this was meant to be a celebration of a special occasion, which was completely ruined. After eating only a small amount of the food, both my daughter and I became ill and have been dealing with stomach issues for the past two days. While we cannot say with absolute certainty what caused our illness, the timing was deeply concerning. The only positive part of this experience was the shuttle drivers. They genuinely tried to make things right and even played celebratory music on the drive back to the restaurant where we had originally planned to dine. Their kindness was appreciated, but unfortunately, it could not make up for everything else. This tour was extremely disappointing from start to finish. Poor communication, an hour-late pickup, misleading advertising, unacceptable cleanliness, and poor food quality made this one of the biggest disappointments of our trip. I cannot recommend this experience. We will be requesting a refund from Viator.

Pick up and drop off from the hotel, with new car. Sherif (Jen) was nice as well. Kind and helpful. The driver was cool, we felt safe inside the car. The cruise had decent food, decent view, decent personnel, and decent show. We really enjoyed folklore programm. Overall, for 40$, we would do that 1000 times. Recommended, 10/10

food: just ok, not tasty as I expected. three options were offered: chicken beef or fish. salad was free to eat during the whole trip. I chose chicken, it was chicken breast and salty. sides were vegetables, too plain. music: ok, a little bit too loud dance: sufi dance and belly dance. you can only see the belly dance at the end of the trip. service: thumb down. I couldn't leave the table, otherwise they would take my plate and drink away immediately, though I hadn't finished. they didn't sail three hours. I had to wait one hour. hmm, a little bit disappointing.

Great show. Dinner was very nice with good service. I would highly recommend. Our tour guild said this one was the best dinner cruise out of many of them

The food was delicious. The music and dancing was great. The belly dancer entertainment was awesome. I highly recommend the dinner cruise at the Nike river.

Excellent show in the cruise, me and my husband had a great time, but there was almost no time to eat. From the 2 hours on board, 1 h and 15 min were just entertainment with dancers and presenters, and at the end of the trip, there were only 45 minutes to enjoy the buffet dinner. Once the dinner time started, all people were together to get the food arranged on a corner, there was a big row, and less than 1 hour to eat. I'd not recommended.

Super fun! Omar and Hani were the best duo we have met in Egypt, super friendly and fun! Highly recommended

Great experience. Mohamad Hamed did a great job and he arrived on time to pick us up from the hotel. Mohamad is highly recommended. He made my birthday very special and paid attention. He was very talkative and and made me feel comfortable.
