We had the very luck experience of having Mohamed Mohey as our guide, he was fantastic. It was my birthday and he arranged a cake and show for me. He made us feel like superstars, timings were perfect and such attention to detail. Very pleased with his service. Many Thanks from me and my family

We joined the Nile Crystal dinner cruise on New Year’s Eve in Cairo. Before dinner, we enjoyed belly dancing and traditional Egyptian dances, followed by a buffet of Egyptian cuisine. Everything was very satisfying and well organized. Our tour guide, Mohamed, was extremely kind and attentive. For example, he let us know the best timing to take photos of the night view, which we really appreciated. I highly recommend this tour.

Enjoyable entertaining

Anthony_M, Apr 2026

My partner is in a wheelchair, and from the moment we got out of the taxi the staff couldn't have been more helpful, she was literally carried from the road to put seat, plenty of choice in the food and well what can be said about the entertainment, it was simply brilliant, from the singers the dancers the 3 piece bongo sax and violin player got everyone going they were amazing

Amazing family time

Sadiqah_R, Feb 2026

We went out as a family with small kids for our last night in Egypt. Mohamed picked us up from our hotel and described the Cairo/Giza landscape and landmarks as we drove to our cruise destination. He got us the best seats on the cruise. During the cruise he was very attentive and continued to check on us. He also made sure we got to go out and see the important landmarks on the top deck.

Niel Dinner Cruse with hotel pick up

Bouchra_z, Dec 2025

Mohamed Mohey was our guide, and he was extremely professional, ensuring we were well taken care of throughout the trip. His communication prior to the event was clear and concise. He guided us safely to the boat and advised us to queue early for the food, even helping us carry our plates to the table so we didn’t have to queue again. Mohamed was very friendly and welcoming, and he gave us peace of mind from start to finish. The food was great and the entertainment was spot on.

Nile Crystal Dinner Cruise

Britney_R, Dec 2025

My mother and I took the Nile Crystal and it was none stop dancing and buffet was nice. The tour operator Mohamed waited for us at the Nile while his driver picked us up on time from our hotel. Mohamed took pictures for us before the cruise and we checked in on the boat early by skipping the long queue because of him. During the cruise, he kept checking in with us to make sure we were ok. He took us to picture spots as well on the boat. For the most part he was far away but close enough to us. Mohamed was like our personal bodyguard. My only negative was he was a little pushy for the review. We bad been up 4am that morning and spent the entire day in the airport at Luxor because of a delayed flight. When we got to Cairo, we immediately had to get ready for this cruise. So after the cruise we were tired and wanted to rest first, then write the review the other day.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Hi Britney Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience! I’m really happy that you and your mother enjoyed the Nile Crystal cruise—the dancing, buffet, and all the moments on board. It was my pleasure to help you with early check-in, take photos, and guide you to the best spots on the boat. Regarding the review, I only gently reminded you to share your experience on Viator, as it helps other travelers and is an important part of my service. I completely understand that you were tired after a long day of travel from Luxor and the airport, and I truly appreciate that you took the time to write your review a few days later. Your positive feedback about the cruise and my assistance means a lot, and I hope to welcome you again for another memorable experience on the Nile! Best regards, Mohamed
