Itinerary

Your evening begins when your driver greets you at your hotel or vacation rental and whisks you to the Nile pier. It’s a private transfer so there’s no need to wait for other travelers or haggle with Cairo’s taxi drivers.

A live band sparks up Egyptian tunes as you board your Nile cruise ship and the Cairo skyline begins to light up for the evening. Head to your private table and feast to your heart’s content on the delicious open buffet. (Do note that drinks are at your own expense.)

Over the 2-hour cruise, take in a colorful show, including one of Cairo’s top belly dancers and “tanoura” spinners with their whirling skirts, as the city lights glide by. Your driver/guide will be waiting at the pier to bring you back to your accommodation.

Great dinner experience!!!

ARTURO_J, Oct 2024

Hotel transfer to dinner Cruise was on time. The transportation was great. Tigo the guide was very helpful and requested the best table for us. With his help we felt like VIPs. Food was delicious and getting back to hotel at night was safe and smooth. I would definitely recommend this team. We give Tigo and his service a 10 plus.

A great experience to do while in Cairo.

Ways_T, Oct 2024

Shared this experience with a friend and I definitely recommend it. a really good night out and they also arrange pick up and drop off.

Amazing belly dance show

Pedro_B, Apr 2024

The boat trip was very good. The dinner was ok but the best part was definitely the belly dance. The dancer was amazing and engaged with the audience and was very sweet with the children.

The Turouna and the Belly...

Farah_P, Dec 2022

The Turouna and the Belly dancing were entertaining. The salad bar was not appetizing as people were touching with their hands. The entree is good. The local guide was very good, very decent and helpful.

Pointless tourist trap

Felipe_B, Dec 2022

Quite unremarkable evening at the Maxim. The food is scarce and with very few options: a poor salad bar and main course selected among 3 fixed options: chicken, fish and veal. I have been served better meals in the economy class of airplanes than here. The dancing attractions are more silly than entertaining. The company of the guide during the dinner is completely unnecessary. Left the tour stil hungry and glad it was over.

Nice trip

Amanda_B, Sep 2022

It’s a novel experience to see the whirling dervish and the belly dancer. The boat smelled like petrol so we stayed on the deck for much of the ride where we saw both the show and the night scenes along the Nile. We would recommend this trip maybe have a mask for inside if you are sensitive to smells.

Nile Maxim dinner cruise

simonandsadie, Jun 2022

Transport to and from hotel was efficient and friendly. The show was great, particularly the belly dancer.

Must do

Apostolos_K, May 2022

We got the full package including pick up from hotel. Much better than getting stressed with taxi. Very nice experience, worth the price. Our guide, Ahmed, was a great guy. The food was great. Not buffet as stated/paid but plate of veal/chicken/fish. Better though as the fish was amazing. NOTE: the buffet dinner advertized is not for the dinner, only salad buffet. Nice night view of Cairo. Belly dancing was great. Definitely recommended.

Excellent

Ayden_F, Nov 2021

I thought this experience was excellent value, given it included transfers from our hotel, a private guide, and the cruise itself. The guide who met us was very friendly and knowledgable about the area, and the cruiseship was elegantly appointed and very comfortable. The music and performance met expectations. I am a very fussy eater so I was worried about the food, but I found that the food served onboard was delicious so I needn't have worried! My only criticism is that they allow smoking onboard the cruise ship (inside!!) which I do not like.

Great time with Mahmoud

Naeemah_S, Oct 2021

It was so amazing. Mahmoud is a great guide. The food was delicious and the service was amazing. We got picked up and dropped off comfortably. And the entertainment was so fun

Amazing experience

Adriana_B, Sep 2021

Delicious dinner, amazing bellydance show and very good attention of our guide Ibrahim, he go to our hotel for us and back then.

Great time!

Christina_B, Apr 2021

The entertainment was wonderful. All of the entertainers were very talented and very engaging. The food was good as well. We recommend the sea bass.

Poor Cruise

Victoria_H, Feb 2020

We were seated in the isle and got bumped by people and waiters all night. Our guide and the cruise manager promised to get us a better seat and never did. The food was average and they tried to overcharge us on our bill. I would not recommend this tour.

It's ok...

Kimberly_E, Jan 2020

I did not realize this price was mostly for the private pick up and drop off. The cruise itself was only quoted at $25 per person. The extra charge on this was for a car to pick us up, and individual stayed with us on the cruise, then drove us back to our hotel. I could have easily used Uber and paid $3. Just book the cruise, do not book the private transfer. It's overpriced for what you get.

Nesma was such an amazing tour...

Edroce E, Jul 2018

Nesma was such an amazing tour guide! She was very informative and very attentive. We felt very safe as two female travelers in Egypt! The Nile Maxim dinner cruise on the Nile was amazing and very entertaining! The food was very tasty! Thank you Nesma!

It is a lovely night with great show...

Lin Y, Apr 2018

It is a lovely night with great show and good food probably one of the best that I ever took when I was in Egypt for a week. The guide is a young fellow who accompanied me for the whole night from the hotel and back to the hotel and shared his bold knowledge about the Egypt and its cultures and religions.

Sans plus

Kramsoondur, Feb 2020

Service trop rapide Les serveurs débarrasse vos assiettes trop rapidement. Menu soit disant à la carte le serveur vous demande vous voulez manger du poisson,poulet au viande. Assez chères
