9.Nile River Dinner Cruise on a Yacht with Open Buffet

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 292 reviews · from $15

You’ll cruise the Nile from Cairo in the evening with hotel pickup, an open buffet of Egyptian and international-style dishes, oriental sweets, live singing, Tanoura dancing, and belly dancing. Private vehicle transfers are included, but the boat may be shared with about 50 people rather than being an exclusive yacht.

“It all started with the time I Booked for nile cruise on a private yacht with a 5 star food and entertainment experience for 6pm. Reached out to the operator because there was no pickup contact information and was told I would not get picked up until 7pm with the cruise now departing at 8pm. If I hadn't messaged the operator I would have never know what was happening. The food was at best a 2 star experience. If it wasn't for the entertainment this would have been a 1 star experience. The highlights was our driver. Don't pay the upgrade price because there is no upgrade but the fee…”

“This is fine if you have an evening with nothing else planned. The food was mediocre but not awful. The show itself is Ok. There are 3 different sets of entertainers. The first group of musicians were Great! The 2nd round is just plane stupid. A man in a huge skirt twirls and twirls around and then goes around the tables hoping to get a tip and puts his colored hat on people's heads while he twirls his skirt. STUPID! The 3rd and final performance is a belly dancer who is absolutely beautiful and skilled. But it's only 1 dancer! That was a bit disappointing. I paid for a table…”
