Adventure on the Nile!

maraoj, May 2026

I had a wonderful evening on the Nile, and I want to give a special thank you to Ahmed and the rest of the crew for making the experience so enjoyable. Ahmed was courteous, prompt, polite, and professional from start to finish. The entertainment was fantastic. The belly dancer was very entertaining, and the singer was absolutely jamming! They did a great job interacting with the crowd, taking pictures, and making everyone feel included in the experience. They were truly the highlight of the show. Overall, it was a memorable and fun evening, and I would definitely visit again. Highly recommend!

Scam company, be careful when booking with this company.

david_l, Apr 2025

This is such a scam. I think the company conducted a false advertisement. They advertised 3 options for the booking. I picked option 3, which was a 5*++. I even got contacted by the company, mentioning about a room but not for overnight staying. In addition, the picture of the dinner cruise was nothing like the ship they put me on. Option 3 was $170 for 2 to include private picked up and return from hotel. I was also asked to pay addition $30 because I stayed in the new Cairo area. When I mentioned I booked option 3, which should be included everything and suddenly, that was waived. The driver didn’t speak English, he was quiet the whole trip and I couldn’t communicate with him at all. Once I got to the ship, it wasn’t anything like they advertised. The ship in the advertise has pool, tables with cloths, etc which reflected a 5*. The ship I was taken to, nothing near what advertised. In addition, I asked several other passengers and they said they only paid $20 per person. I reached out to the company for a partial refund because of possible mistake (giving them reasonable doubt for taking me to the wrong ship); however, I haven’t heard anything back from them or I’ll try other way to get partial of the money back. I will report to Viator of such bad business practice. Attached are pictures of what being advertised and what was on the actual ship. Also, food was out in 20-25 min after served.

Dear valued client, Thank you sincerely for taking the time to share your feedback and review with us. There is a misunderstanding, sir. We offer a dinner show on a Nile cruise, not an overnight on a Nile cruise, and this what you book and what you get even we make for you extra service your hotel in the airport its mean we have to charge you airport packup but since we feel you will not be satsfued we make from our side extra service to pick you up by free and did not charge you additional 30 USD for airport pick up Option 3 was $170 for ( 2 * 85 USD), include private pickup and return from the hotel, not from the airport hotel it is means outside Cairo or in New Cairo, and we did not mention in the itinerary room for you. I think this is a misunderstanding, even we contacted you and explained to you the difference between the three options And about option 3 5 stars blus blus: 5*****++ Nile cruise What's included All taxes, fees, and handling charges Buffet dinner Driver/guide Hotel pickup and drop-off entry fees Transport by private vehicle Entry/Admission - Nile River Pickup included What's not included Drinks Gratuities And this is what we offer and what you get, sir, even the category of the Nile cruise you have seen it in the entrance, 5*****, and you ask for a refund, we have to ask you for 30 USD for airport pickup, but we make it for you for free We are not scamming you Please, before you book any tour, read what the tour includes and excludes carefully And it is impossible to be like you say for 20 USD You're going to enjoy your night, without asking the passenger what they pay for the service, and I am sure you pay less than they pay because we have a contract to get for our guests at a good price for excellent service to make them happy and satisfied Warm regards, Ehab Sun Of Egypt Tour +201099546006
