I appreciate the staff ensuring I was was not left behind being that my first excursion ran a little late. The host and staff were amazing and assured every group had a good time. The food was multicultural and good! I just wish they would have left it down a little bit longer to enjoy bites after the dancing. The hookah was good. and everything was reasonably priced. I got to see the sunset and enjoy good belly dancing performances.

The operator was the...

ali_K, Jun 2025

The operator was the Egyptian king (if I remember correctly). After I successfully made the booking, he texted me saying he would charge an extra $10 per person in cash because it was Eid. I later realized this was, in some way, a scam. Moreover, during the cruise, they tried to charge us again for some services that were already included in the package. Overall, a poor experience.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you Mr Ali for your review but unfortunately you know that your opinion is completely wrong because you know Eid is the feast and all books will be double price and our team texted you one week before to tell you that and you told them you know and understand and we tell you you can cancel it and refund the full amount ( one week before) . At the day our driver was there at the time and you asked 2 bottles of beer and refused to pay and the manager texted us and after negotiating you paid by your card 700 Egyptian pounds ( written drinks is not included ) your guide pay the amount ( You have embarrassed us.)

Mediocre Food on a Short Cruise

Joseph_G, Nov 2024

The best part of the cruise was our fabulous guide/driver, Mahmud. However, even his upbeat assistance throughout this experience couldn’t salvage this dingy affair. Barely able to call this a cruise, far less time than advertised, it crawled at an almost imperceptible pace while diners elbowed each other out of the way at the meager, low-quality buffet. The entertainment consisted primarily of a man who eventually abandoned badly playing an electric organ to burst out into sometimes off tune song. When the belly dancer stopped dancing after two songs to hawk photos with the crowd, my wife and I fled to the top deck, where we competed for deck chairs amongst choking clouds of sheesha. The night was cut mercifully short when the boat pulled up to the dock well shy of the two hours since we had pulled out, and allowed us and many other trapped tourists to escape. Would only recommend this experience to those I disliked.
