This is actually our second Nile RiverDinner Cruise , each time is as wonderful as the other. Delicious international buffet with live entertainment of belly dancer, folk dancers, and local band. It was very enjoyable. Our guide, Yasser is a warm, nice and friendly guy. He's the best.
was as expected. A brief but interesting cruise. Enjoyed Cairo scene at night from the boat. Good entertainment. Good guides from and to the hotel.
This Buffet is a really good down time activity to break up the slightly uneventful evenings in cairo. i really specifically enjoyed my knowledgeable tour guide who actually added a great conversation about cairo to the tour that wasn't really part of the buffet cruise. he was very well spoken and very helpful. this is a good idea for kids who need constant entertainmemt or for adults trying to break up the hot days of pyramid tours with something relaxing in the evening
This tour was fine, but not a must-do. I was frustrated that they put the food away very quickly after everyone went through the first time-- load your plate if you are hungry! The performers were good at what they do, but it wasn't outstanding. I didn't get a good feel for culture at the show, which was disappointing. If you only have one night in Cairo/Giza, I would recommend the Pyramid light show over this. It wasn't a waste of time, but I wouldn't go again.
This was a fun night out. The music and dancing was great--and the people on the cruise ship were incredibly eager to please. That being said, go for the entertainment, not the food, as it was a less-than mediocre selection of random food. My husband said it looked like a potluck by people of random cultures--rice, pasta, etc. Given another opportunity, I wouldn't have eaten anything at all. My husband and I got very sick Pharaoh's Revenge! afterward, even though we aren't completely positive that's how we got sick. But just the thought of the food makes me sick...
The tour is great. Food is good. Entertainment is great as well. I was chosen to dance the Dervish Dance in the audience participation part and it was a great experience. Don't know how can they do that continuous spinning without getting Dizzy!!!
