Unprofessional and least caring attitude of Emo Tous Staff across board
Very unprofessional attitude of Emo Travels staff who was communicating with us and attendant Tariq who accompanied us . They spoiled our very important occasion 35th Anniversary of marriage. We booked top option “ 5 star Nile Maxim “ and communicated the importance of this day. Told them that we are vegetarian. We were assured over and again that all arrangements have been made for smooth anniversary celebration, I asked them about menu but nothing was even told to Tariq who accompanied us. Rather than trying to make it better, he told us point blank that we can cancel it . We were sad as we did find any thing for dinner. Please don’t book it through Emo Tours . They don’t care even if you give them feedback. Sorry Emo Tours I can’t allow you to take the guest for a ride .

Cairo Dinner Cruise Experience October 2025
Overall we had a good experience on this dinner cruise. We were not overly impressed by the food, but it wasn't just on this cruise, we did not find Egyptian food much to our liking. The shows were good, the opening singer had a very strong voice and interacted well with the audience. The belly dancer was also good and did a great job going to each table to dance. The star of the show, in my opinion, was the man that did the whirling dervish type of dance. He was an incredible performer who did not stop spinning for over 30 minutes. The boat itself was OK, the dining room was a little cramped, the upper deck that was outdoors was nice. The representatives from Emo Tours were very friendly and seemed to genuinely want us to have a good experience. Bottom line: I'm glad we had this experience.
via Tripadvisor
It was good. We had to sit in the back so it was hard to see the performances. Then we found it hard to see the river.
Our driver was 15 min late and we had poo seating for the show and didn’t really get to see the river. Our guide was good and enjoyable.

Cairo Dinner Cruise on the River Nile with Belly Dancing Show: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Cairo Dinner Cruise on the River Nile with Belly Dancing Show cost?
+
Prices start at $42 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 Cairo Dinner Cruise on the River Nile with Belly Dancing Show take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Cairo Dinner Cruise on the River Nile with Belly Dancing Show worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 160 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 Cairo Dinner Cruise on the River Nile with Belly Dancing Show?
+
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 Cairo Dinner Cruise on the River Nile with Belly Dancing Show suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cairo Dinner Cruise on the River Nile with Belly Dancing Show?
+
Around 56 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cairo Dinner Cruise on the River Nile with Belly Dancing Show 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 Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel, ATV Bike, Shopping & Dinner Cruise, ViP Private Tour Giza Pyramids,camel ride , inside 3rd Pyramid, Giza Pyramids VIP Private Tour ATV Camel Inside Pyramid & Lunch. 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.
