★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 2,184 reviews · 3 hours · from $33Our pick

Spend an evening aboard the Nile Crystal with a buffet dinner, belly dancing, folklore, Western music, and views of Cairo after dark. Choose the private hotel transfer for an easier start and finish. Plan for about two hours on the boat, although the advertised activity duration is three hours.

“The boat was nice and clean. It says sunset Cruise, the sun is gone before you even start the ride. Also forget about 3hours!!! The tour is only 1 hour and 30Min. We departed at 18.15h and came back at 19.45h (already left the boat). Food was good. Service personnel very kind. Extra Tipp. Check your cutlery and plates and so before eating. ;) The entertainment was ok. But not more or less then that.”

“The captain (Islam) and the guide (Aram) were amazing. The boat was very beautiful and fast, we saw dolphins and had an amazing time on the island. The transfer back was bad though - although we paid 20,- for the transfer and we booked a private arrangement, we were stuffed in a full bus, not next to each other and with many other people. That was a disappointing end to a wonderful experience.”
