Very nice cruise. The entertainment and food was very good. Nice cruise up the Nile River. Our tour guide Alladin and driver Hamada were great.

Hotel pick up and drop off worked well. Guide was really good. Entertainment was great with Belly Dancer and two male Egyptian performers with a great live backing group. All family orientated with children also included for family fun. Food was good and whole event ran to time. The only thing which would have made it better if there was an actual bar or if guests were served multiple times during the evening as only served once. However, I do fully recommend this and would do it again.

Does what it says on the tin! Belly dancing and some other dancing with (very) loud music. Even some very questionable karaoke at the end. Dinner was buffet style and to be honest a bit rushed for those at the back of the queue. Choice was pretty good though.

The cruise itself was fantastic, the food was superb as was the atmosphere and decor of the Nile Maxim. The staff on board were helpful and pleasant. The tour guide collected us from our hotel on time and was pleasant enough on the ride there, however on the ride home he made a couple of disparaging personal remarks and was very pushy about us booking other tours with his company or about souvineer shopping. He also was very rude about another tour that we went on. ( The other tour and tour guide was phenomenal and so much more professional than him).
