“Had a great time at the Nile Cruise. Our driver Desuki was friendly and on time to take us to our dinner. The show was amazing, the food didn’t taste the best, but that was coming from a picky eater American. This was the first event in Cairo, and a great way to start the trip. It’s only 2 hours long, so it was nice getting back to the hotel in a timely manner.”
