Avoid this organizer, misleading pictures

Avoid this organizer called Hasham. The pictures you see are far cray from what you get. We were sent to a boat with a greenhouse covered deck, hot, no A/c, more than 100 people on one space, makeshift table in the middle, no tablecloth, no glasses and you drink from the plastic bottle. Food is dispensed by 4 man on 1 table “buffet “, you have to wait 15 min on a long line, they give a spoon of the food, which is of horrible quality. The line of people is exactly on our heads. My stomach was so tight that i couldn’t eat even. We had to resort and evacuate on the small open part ot the deck, where we stayed till the end.

Response from the operator: thank you for the feedback , but make sure you wrote to correct company , thats not our service , you never used or contact us for round transfer , you might write that to wrong listing , everyone used our service and know who we are , read reviews , thats why you booked us , we dont know if you are spam or you took money form other to write that for us , if we are bad , you never use our service but you came through our review which are real one not fake . please check , thank you , we wish you good time in Egypt . Egypt is the most safe place in Egypt

Nice views of the Nile

Lovely views of the Nile in the evening. The dinner has live entertainment from a singer and belly dancer. There is plenty of food to eat, but maybe could be of better quality. Our driver Moaz was very friendly and the only car without a dent!

Dinner with a Veiw

Our driver Ahmed Fouad was very friendly and a very safe driver. I would recommend him for any tours with this company. The Nile cruise was an enjoyable experience. There was a belly dancer and professional traditional Egyptian dancer on board which added to the experience. Nice views from the deck.

The cruise is pretty good. Comply with what you describe. There were two of us and Maged picked us up at the hotel at the time we ordered. Very attentive and willing to help us in any way. Personally the buffet food I liked just enough. There is a bit of information missing when it comes to access, as there are two floors and you can even climb to the top that is open to enjoy the views and sit. If you don't walk fast, you'll be seated at any table and there you go. Thanks to our guide Maged who took us good table (right in front of the shows) and even when we wanted to climb upstairs he saved our place. Like they say drinks don't come in. By paying the one who seemed to be managing everything, instead of giving us the change back and letting us tip in time, they gave us less change directly. The entertaining shows. In my opinion there was still the man who was "dancing" with the dancer, because it was terrible, better to have left her alone than to do well and would have been more beautiful and professional.

2 Hour Cairo Dinner Cruise on Nile river with live band: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.

How much does 2 Hour Cairo Dinner Cruise on Nile river with live band cost?

+

Prices start at $5 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Giza usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does 2 Hour Cairo Dinner Cruise on Nile river with live band take?

+

Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Giza is not rushed.

Is 2 Hour Cairo Dinner Cruise on Nile river with live band worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Giza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Hour Cairo Dinner Cruise on Nile river with live band?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is 2 Hour Cairo Dinner Cruise on Nile river with live band suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book 2 Hour Cairo Dinner Cruise on Nile river with live band?

+

Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Giza can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Giza and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does 2 Hour Cairo Dinner Cruise on Nile river with live band start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Giza within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Giza?

+

On Outty we rank every Giza experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pyramids Sphinx Camel ATV Bike Shopping and Nile Dinner Cruise, Cairo 8 Hour Private Tour of Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum, Pyramids Sphinx and Grand Egyptian Museum Nile Felucca or Bazaar. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Giza?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Giza?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
