I had two wonderful hours of pure enjoyment right in the middle of the Nile with five people and a baby on board the Dahabiya Ship. A big thank-you to the crew for their warm hospitality and classy service! I booked an evening cruise (drinks only) through WhatsApp — the team was super flexible and easy to deal with. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize that any extras, like desserts or nuts, need to be ordered before the trip, so we only had drinks during the cruise. The boat’s location is easy to find, but parking nearby can be tricky — I’d definitely recommend coming by taxi. While waiting at the reception, we were served a welcome drink — such a nice touch! The cruise started exactly on time, and we got to enjoy two hours of the Nile’s magical vibes. As mentioned, my booking was for drinks only. I was a bit disappointed that the options weren’t quite what I expected — they offered the usual hot drinks, some fresh juices, and mojitos. Also, the drinks service came in two rounds only (not open buffet), and we had to ask a few times for refills — not my favorite part. That said, the decor, lighting, and overall atmosphere made the whole experience feel truly special. The live band was amazing and super friendly! They even let my son join them for a short performance — such a sweet moment. The band moves between the first and second decks, keeping everyone entertained. In the end, I can honestly say it was an unforgettable Nile experience. Thank you to Dahabiya Team for a lovely evening! 💛 Absolutely amazing! The dinner cruise in the historic Nile river was the best. The food was delicious and they have big servings. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The live band was wonderful and made the whole trip enjoyable. I am glad I booked this as part of my Cairo trip. Thank you! I booked the 5pm dinner cruise for me alone. The ride takes 2h and goes once around Zamalek. If you are lucky, maybe even the fountain in the south is active. If you want to eat something, you have to preprder in advance. I had the Salmon menu for 1.900 LE and it was so worth it! 3 extensive and super delicious courses! Along with it you get a drink and some water. Coffee is also possible. During the ride there was live music played. It was really amazing! The crew was super nice! If you are in Cairo, you should definitely consider going here!

I had an amazing time on this two-hour Nile cruise! The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly, making the whole experience feel warm and enjoyable. The highlight was definitely the talented two-musician band, they created such a lively and beautiful atmosphere with their music. While the food wasn’t my favorite, everything else more than made up for it. The views, the ambiance, and the entertainment made this cruise an unforgettable experience that I’ll always cherish.
