Schifffahrten in Cairo: entdecken, essen, entspannen

Fun for a group night. The singer had everyone clapping along. Food was ok, but we really came for the show. Nice views from the side windows.

SO much fun with friends! Danced half the night. Staff were cooool and let us take pics with the performers. Food was decent, especially the fish.

Family night out was a HIT! Kids loved the show, esp the guy spinning for like 10 minutes straight. Food was fresh, staff checked in on us. Would go again.

Not bad, not great. Felt a bit rushed at dinner and the best tables were reserved. Show was lively. Would’ve liked more info on landmarks.

Meh, honestly expected more. The staff were nice but the boat felt old. The show was the main draw. Food was nothing special.

So much fun! Our kids loved the dancers, esp the one spinning with all the colors. Food better than I thought for a buffet. Staff super friendly.

Went with my bf and honestly, the view from the upper deck was EPIC! We waited a while before the boat actually moved (like, almost 45 mins just sitting at the dock) but once we got going, the city lights were gorgeous. Food was just ok – kinda lukewarm but plenty of it. The whirling dervish guy was suuuper impressive. Would skip the dessert next time but def worth it for the vibes.

Such a cool night out! We danced, ate, and took so many pics. Boat staff made us feel welcome. Pro tip – skip the dessert, stick with the mains.

Brought my mom – she LOVED the show. The dancer in the colorful skirt was amazing. Boat was crowded, but staff found us seats. Food was fine.

Mixed feelings. The show was entertaining but really loud. Couldn’t hear my friend half the time. Food was ok but nothing special. River at sunset was pretty.

Had my birthday here! Staff made a big fuss, sang happy birthday, and the whole table joined in. Show was a riot. Best part: dancing with the performers.

Took my parents for their anniversary. Staff were all smiles, made my folks feel special. Got a window table! Show was a bit cheesy but fun, esp the tanoura dancer. Food wasn’t fancy, but tasted fresh. Pro tip: get there early or you’re stuck in the back.

Booked last minute. Wasn’t sure what to expect but ended up really enjoying the dance acts. The belly dancer was super energetic. Boat took a while to leave, so we just chilled and watched the city. Would go again with more friends.

Went with friends, had a blast! The spinning guy had us all mesmerized. Boat was clean, staff friendly. Buffet line was long but food was tasty.

Went solo and ended up chatting with a bunch of other travelers. Good vibes. The MC was funny and kept things moving. Food was decent (the chicken curry was tasty).

Went solo, made new friends at my table. Show was lively. Buffet gets crowded, but staff help you out. Nice view of the skyline.

Best night in Cairo! Went with my partner and we danced, laughed, and ate way too much. Staff even helped us get a taxi back. 10/10!

We came as a family (kids 7 & 10) and they LOVED the spinning dancer. Staff were super sweet to the kids. Food was better than we expected. Little crowded at the buffet but otherwise a fun night out.

Took my mum for her birthday. Staff surprised us with a cake! Boat was a bit old but clean. Weather was chilly so bring a jacket if you wanna sit outside.

Perfect for families! My daughter got to meet the dancers after the show, which made her night. Buffet was busy but staff helped us find seats. Dessert was a bit dry but the mains were delicious.

Totally worth it for the river views alone. Show was a bit cheesy but fun. Staff made sure everyone was comfortable. Would do again.

Super night! Came with friends and had a blast. The singer did birthday requests and got everyone clapping. Food was good (loved the eggplant dish), but dessert was kinda meh. Wish the cruise was longer!

Good for families, but don’t expect fine dining. The kids were entertained, but the adults were a bit bored with the show after a while.

Food’s just average, but the entertainment saves it. The dervish dancer spun like a tornado – wild! Drinks cost extra, just FYI. The upper deck was windy but nice for pics.

Food was just ok. The show was fun, especially the spinning guy. Seating is tight, so get there early if you want a window.

We booked this cruise as a family of four (kids are 9 & 14) and honestly, I wasn’t expecting much—just something to fill an evening. But it turned out pretty EPIC! The staff were suuuper friendly, like, our waiter even helped my son pick out his dessert. The boat stayed at the dock for a bit longer than I thought (maybe 30 mins?), so we got to explore the upper deck before setting off. The show was a mix of wild spinning dancers and some music—my daughter tried to copy the moves and almost fell over, lol. The food was fine, not gourmet, but decent for a buffet with lots of options (the rice pudding was the best part for me!). It was a little crowded but didn’t feel too squished. One tip: if you want a window table, ask early. We got lucky. Overall, totally worth it for a chill night on the water.

Went with a group of friends, and it was a fun evening. We did wait a while before the boat actually moved (felt like forever tbh) but once we got going, the city lights were really cool. Food was just okay, but everyone was into the show—especially the spinning guy, he was a LEGEND. Didn’t love the belly dancing (not my vibe), but the atmosphere was lively, and staff didn’t mind us taking loads of pics. Would go again if I had visitors in town.

So, the cruise was...fine? Not the best night out ever but not terrible either. The food was kinda cold by the time we got to it and there was a queue for drinks. The performers put in a lot of energy though, and my dad liked the music. It gets loud inside, so if you’re hoping for a quiet dinner, this isn’t it. Still, we laughed a lot and the view was pretty once we got out on the river.

The cruise was a highlight for our trip! I went with my husband and both of us loved the tanoura dancer (how do they not get dizzy?!). Our table was right next to the window, so we had a great view of the city lights reflecting on the water. Staff was kind and even brought us extra bread when they saw we liked it. The music got a bit loud for me at times, but overall, sooooo worth it!

Nice experience overall. Went with work colleagues. The show was energetic and the host made sure everyone was involved. Food was fine, nothing special, but enough choices for vegetarians. The upper deck was windy but had the best views. Try to get up there before everyone else!

Good for a group night out but not super romantic if you’re hoping for that. There were kids running around and the dining area gets LOUD. The show is fun for the first 20 mins then gets a bit repetitive. Decent way to see the river though.

Booked for my girlfriend’s birthday and it was a hit! The staff surprised us with a little cake (didn’t even ask, so sweet). The sunset was GORGEOUS from the top deck. We took a million photos (tip: the best background is right before the sun disappears). Show was fun, food was better than expected. Would recommend for a special night.

What a fun night! We had a group of 8 and everyone found something to enjoy, even the picky eaters. The tanoura dancer was so colorful and my aunt couldn’t stop talking about his skirt. Only downside: lots of people crowding the buffet at first. Go for seconds after the show, much less busy!

It’s ok if you’re in the mood for something touristy. The acts are entertaining, especially for kids, but the food is just average and the drinks are pricey. The view from the top deck made up for it though.

I went solo and was worried I’d feel awkward, but the staff made me feel right at home. The MC even called me up to dance (I said no but laughed a lot). The food was good, especially the chicken. Make sure to save room for dessert! Met some cool ppl at my table. Recommend for solo travelers for sure.

Good cruise for family fun. My kids loved the spinning dancer, but food was a bit cold. The staff were friendly, and we had a nice evening. Could be less crowded, but still enjoyable.

Went with my partner. The cruise didn’t move much and the music was LOUD. Food was fine and the show was okay but not my thing. Nice to see the city lights though.

Def one of our best nights in town! The dancing was wild, and I couldn’t believe how much energy the performers had. Buffet got crowded at first, so we waited and ended up with fresher plates. Staff were super helpful, even helped us take group pics! Would go again.

Nice evening with friends. The show was fun but the highlight was actually the view from the upper deck. Food was average but filling. Would’ve liked more info about the sights though.

Loved every minute! The cruise felt special, especially when the city lights came on. My husband and I danced along with the performers, and the staff didn’t mind us being silly. The food was better than I thought, especially the falafel. Worth every penny.

Good atmosphere. Went with my girlfriend and we enjoyed the music and dancing. Not a fan of the buffet system (got a bit messy) but the desserts were actually really good. Staff were friendly.

It was ok. The show was fun but loud, and the food was just average. Went with friends and we had a laugh. Not something I’d do twice, but glad I tried it.

Took my parents and they absolutely LOVED it. The staff took great care of us, even offering to bring tea to our table after dinner. Show was fun, especially the guy with the colorful skirt. It was busy, but the energy was great. Would go again for sure.

Fun night overall. The performances are the highlight for sure. Food was okay (loved the bread tho). Gets crowded at the start, so arrive early if you want a good seat.

The show was cool, esp the spinning dancer, but food was not great. Waited a while for drinks and the boat didn’t really leave the dock much. Not bad for a group activity though.

We had a wonderful night! The staff sang happy birthday for my mom and brought her a little cake with a candle. Made her night! The show was energetic and fun, and the food was much better than I’d read about. Would recommend.

Went with friends and had a blast! The dancers were really good and the staff joined in for a song at the end. Food was average but the atmosphere made up for it.

Show is fun if you haven’t seen it before. Food is meh, but enough to fill you up. The MC was cooool and made everyone laugh.

Such a fun night! Went solo and ended up chatting with a lovely couple from France. The show is lively and the staff are happy to take photos for you. Food was better than expected, esp the desserts.

Good cruise for families. My kids loved the music and dancing. The boat stayed at the dock for a while but the staff kept us entertained. Food was okay. Would go again.

Booked Nile Maxim for my wife and me on our anniversary—honestly, WOW. The views of the river at sunset were EPIC! Food was super fresh, we had grilled fish and chicken and both were tasty (portions are huge, so come hungry). Staff kept refilling our drinks before we even thought to ask. The belly dancer had everybody clapping, even the shy folks. Only gripe: wish dessert was less sweet. Still, def would do it again.

Went with my friends and had a blast! The music was loud but that’s kinda the vibe. We got window seats and the city lights reflecting on the Nile were soooo pretty. Food was good, not mind blowing, but the show is what you come for. Bit crowded (guess that’s normal in July), and we waited maybe 15 mins to board but worth it.

Honestly didn’t expect much but the cruise was just amazing. Staff were friendly and helped my mom with her walker (big plus!). The tanoura dancer spun for like ten minutes, how do they do that?? Chicken was a bit dry but the salads and bread made up for it. Loved the live band too. Would recommend for families.

Food was ok, kinda lukewarm by the time it reached us. The view was really nice though, especially if you get a window table. Service was fast but felt a bit rushed—like, plates got cleared before we were done. Still, the dancers were fun and it’s a cool way to spend an evening in Cairo.

We went as a group of 8 (3 kids). Kids loved the show, especially the guy with the colorful skirt—he even let them dance with him for a second! Food was tasty (I recommend the beef), and our server was hilarious. It got a bit chilly on the top deck, so bring a light jacket if you wanna go outside after dinner.

Good experience overall. The only annoying part was the traffic getting to the pier, but once onboard it’s all smooth. Staff were attentive and the entertainment was lively. I’d say the desserts are a bit basic, but the drinks menu is solid. Go for the view, stay for the dancing.

I went solo and honestly felt super welcome. The staff kept checking if I needed anything, and the table next to me shared their bread basket (lol). The live music was groovy and the atmosphere felt fancy but not stuffy. Sat by the window and just zoned out watching the river. So relaxing, 10/10 for solo travelers.

Family outing with my parents and little bro. We got seated near the stage so it was LOUD but fun. Food was pretty good (mom says the fish is best). Show was long but never boring. Only negative: bathrooms were crowded after the show, so plan accordingly.

Best dinner we had in Cairo, hands down. The cruise itself was super smooth and barely felt like you were moving. The entertainment was awesome, especially the tanoura dancer—how does he not get dizzy? Steak was juicy but order it medium or it comes well done. Staff helped my grandma get in/out of the boat, which was really appreciated.

Decent night out but not as magical as I was hoping. The cruise gets packed, so book early if you want a good seat. Food was ok, and drinks took forever to arrive. The dancing was cool and the city looked beautiful at night. Maybe better for bigger groups than couples.

We celebrated my dad’s birthday here. Staff brought out a cake and sang (off-key but cute!). The music is LOUD, but the energy is infectious. The chicken kebab is really good and so is the rice. Don’t skip the appetizers. Only thing: air conditioning could be stronger, got a bit warm in the middle.

Went with my girlfriend and both of us loved it. The boat is clean and the windows are huge, so you get a great view no matter where you sit. The belly dancer was very talented. Food took a while to come out but was worth the wait. If you don’t like crowds, maybe try a weeknight instead of Friday.

We went as a family of five (kids 6, 9, and 12). Kids were fascinated by the spinning dancer—he spun sooo long! Staff were coool and patient with our picky eaters. The view from the upper deck is gorgeous but a bit windy. Food was solid, especially the beef. Def recommend for families.

Booked for our last night in Cairo. The show was the highlight, dancers were reallly impressive. Food was fine, nothing spectacular, but the staff made up for it—super friendly. Wish we could’ve stayed outside longer but rules said no drinks on the upper deck. Still a fun night.

Nile Maxim was a total treat. Service is FAST and they keep your water glass full without even asking. The city lights at night are magical. We went as two couples and everyone left happy. Only advice: bring a sweater, it gets cold on the water after sunset.

Show was cool but food just average. Our table was kinda close to the speakers so we had to shout to chat. Staff were nice but seemed rushed. Worth it for the entertainment, not so much the meal.

First time on the Nile! The dancers were amazing and I loved the costumes (so sparkly). Food was good but the desserts are on the sweet side. The staff even took our group photo for us. Lovely night out.

I went with my cousins and we had a great time. Show was fun, music was loud and got everyone involved. Food was tasty but portions not huge (so maybe eat a snack before if you’re super hungry). Staff were polite and kept checking in.

The views at sunset are just UNREAL. I went with my boyfriend and we couldn’t stop taking photos (btw, can’t take pics during the dance show). Food was delicious, especially the grilled shrimp. Staff were so friendly. Would go again in a heartbeat.

Solid night. The show is def the main attraction. Food was fine, a bit salty for my taste. Staff kept the drinks flowing and the music was catchy. Felt a bit rushed at the end but I’d still recommend it.

Went with my partner for a special night out. Everything felt so elegant—white tablecloths, candlelight, the works! The tanoura dancer is a real show-stopper. Chicken was juicy and the baklava for dessert was YUM. Only thing: a bit crowded, but didn’t really bother us.

Went with friends. Was a bit disappointed by the food (meat was overcooked), but the show was fun and lively. Staff were nice but seemed busy. Good experience if you like music and dancing.

Booked last min and still got a window seat—lucky! Staff were super attentive, and the music was so catchy I ended up dancing. Food was fresh and nicely spiced. Would come again for sure.

We came as a group of friends. Entertainment was the main draw for us, and it didn’t disappoint! The food was good, not great, but the atmosphere more than made up for it. Wish the cruise lasted a bit longer.

Such a fun night! Staff were so welcoming, and the belly dancer got our whole table up on our feet. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and dessert was excellent. If you’re in Cairo, def worth it.

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.

Fun night out with my partner. Liked the music tho it got a bit loud near the end (had to kinda shout to talk lol). Food was better than expected but don’t expect anything fancy. The whirling dervish show was EPIC! We got a table by the window, which was nice for the views. We didn’t book ahead, just walked up and waited about 20 min, so try to reserve if u can. Would recommend for a chill, touristy evening.

It’s fine for tourists but I expected more local flavor. Entertainment was fun but the food was just ok, kinda bland, but there’s lots of it. We went as a family (2 kids) and they liked the dancing. Staff very friendly. Not sure I’d do it again but not terrible.

Took my boyfriend for his birthday and we had a GREAT time! The view from the top deck is honestly reason enough to go. The singer was hilarious and did requests in like 4 languages. Buffet ran out of rice but staff brought some extra for us. Just don’t expect 5-star food—go for the experience.

The cruise is a fun way to see Cairo at night. Not super romantic (tables are close together) but the vibe is lively. We loved the tanoura dancer! Food was hit or miss but desserts were surprisingly delish. Book early if u want a window seat.

Absolutely loved the cruise! Our kids (ages 6 and 9) were obsessed with the whirling man and the sparkly costumes. Staff made sure the kids got plain pasta and were really patient. The boat felt clean and safe. Views of the city were STUNNING at sunset. Worth every penny for a family night out.

It was ok. The music was too loud for my taste and couldn’t really hear my husband across the table. Food was plenty, but nothing stood out. Enjoyed the fresh air on the top deck after dinner—definitely the best part.

Nice experience overall. Booked for visiting relatives and it was a good way to show them Cairo from the river. Entertainment program was fun, especially the belly dancer. The buffet is just average, but the scenery makes up for it.

Went for anniversary. Staff surprised us with a tiny cake and sang! The cruise was sooo pretty at night, and the show was super energetic. Buffet was crowded, but food was fresh. Will remember this for a long time.

We went as part of a group tour and it was SO much fun. Everyone danced and clapped along to the music. I loved the dessert table—so many little cakes. Staff checked on us often. The city looks totally different from the river at night. Highly recommend for groups.

Good value for money if you want dinner and a show. The top deck gets crowded fast, so go up early for the view. A bit too much waiting around before the boat left, but worth it for the Nile scenery. Entertainment was lively.

Buffet was okay, nothing special. Enjoyed the dancers a lot more than the food. Service was polite but seemed rushed. Best thing is just being on the water.

Cool experience! Came with my mom. She loved the music and I liked the sparkly costumes. Food was fine, but bring a sweater—AC is STRONG inside. We got great photos from the front of the boat.

Had a brilliant evening! I was a little late but they let me board anyway, really nice staff. The show was non-stop and the singer was hilarious. Food was plenty, esp the chicken. Would do it again.

Super FUN night! Went with a group of friends. We danced, laughed, ate a ton. The city lights on the Nile are BEAUTIFUL—take a jacket tho, it gets breezy. Already planning to go again.

Nice boat and friendly staff, but the food could be better. Entertainment was a bit cheesy for my taste but everyone else seemed to love it. Worth trying once.

We booked last minute and still got a nice table. Service was quick, food was hot, and the show was LOUD but fun. My boyfriend loved the dervish dancer. Would recommend for first-timers in Cairo.

Surprised my parents with this cruise and it was FABULOUS. They both danced! Staff even helped us get a cab home after. Food was basic but tasty. 10/10 for the entertainment!

Tried it because everyone said to go. Not my favorite meal in Cairo but the show was fun. A bit touristy but overall good for a one-time thing.

Went with my sister. The tanoura dancer was mesmerizing, food was decent. Staff was attentive. Liked the view from the top deck, but it was windy!

Birthday treat from my friends and it was sooo worth it. The singer did a happy birthday song and everyone clapped. Buffet was busy but always refilled. Loved it.

Enjoyed our night! The music was a touch loud, but staff were sooo friendly. Try the salad bar—it’s fresh. Bring cash for drinks.

Perfect night out for families. Kids loved the dancers and the festive vibe. Staff let them take pics with the performers! Food was fine. Would go again.

Good cruise for the price. Entertainment was the highlight, food was just okay. The views from the river at night are EPIC!

Went for our honeymoon and was not disappointed! Staff gave us a window seat and decorated our table. The music and dancing were so lively. Loved every minute.
