Sincèrement c'est à faire quoi qu'il arrive. Cependant j'avais pris avec l'option une bouteille d'eau, une boisson froide et une boisson chaude mais je n'y ai pas eu le droit alors que j'avais payé la formule au-dessus. J'ai dû appeler mon interlocuteur et je n'ai eu que la bouteille sans payer de supplément. À part cela, la soirée était sympathique même si je regrette que le dîner démarre avant de partir et que les personnes sur entrée plat dessert en même temps. Il faudrait proposer 3 temps pour éviter que les gens se ruent partout pour rien car les quantités sont bien suffisantes pour tout

The driver was on time in a lovely clean car and he assisted with our tickets once we arrived. The boat was beautifully decorated in an Egyptian theme. Food was hot, plentiful and very tasty, we enjoyed everything on offer. There were six different entertainers, from exotic dancing, saxophonists, singing and drums, all very good and really got the crowd moving. Beer was not as expensive as London so that was a bonus. Overall, we would highly recommend this cruise option, really was faultless.

Booked the Nile dinner cruise for my first night in Cairo and honestly it was a BLAST! Went solo but didn’t feel awkward at all—ended up chatting with a group from Spain at the next table. The staff were super smiley, and the belly dancer was seriously talented. Buffet was hot and I tried way too many things (def recommend the kofta). Only minus was drinks not included so bring a little extra cash. The city lights from the upper deck are just magical. Would go again if I had more time.
