“The host was AMAZING! Boat ride was for 1 hour and I can confidently say it wasn’t enough time. He made us feel extremely welcomed and gave us fun facts along the way, even helped us take FIRE pictures (if you also need a photographer with a vision, he’s your guy) 10/10 would recommend!!”

“Our host is an amazing host. I had a great time sailing over the great Nile. We got to see the sunset from the boat and got chance to connect with others over the interesting conversations on history, traditions. This is a highly recommended if you want to spend some quiet time away from the noisy city”

“Had a fantastic time with our guide out on the Nile. Would highly recommend anyone in Cairo to do this experience, not only do you get a fantastic time out on the boat, but you also get to learn about the history of Egypt and if you want, also some great food tips.”

“The cruise definitely was relaxing. nice to get away from the hustle and bustle and constant beeping. however, our cruise only went from bank to bank so we didn't see much. I'm not sure if it's always like this our guide was nice and asked lots of questions and was inclusive. if you do get the food option, it is a takeaway pasta”

“It was nice to get on the Nile at sunset for the experience and photos. Feel like there could have been more history of the Nile or Cairo given during the boat trip. It was nice and great to be out on the water without being incredible.”

“Our guide was very nice and explained everything to us. But I recommend that if you book a trip with our guide that no other guest has booked. Even though our guide was very nice, I felt uncomfortable after a time because he only spoke in Arabic with another guest most of the time. Otherwise it was good😊”

“Undoubtedly the best host in Egypt, the experience is magical especially at the golden hour, but the most magical thing is the proximity of our host while telling you everything about the boat and Egypt. The price is nothing for what you are going to live for an hour.”

“Our guide is an amazing story teller and an excellent tour guide. He knows how to keep everybody involved. His biggest trait is that he gels in the group. 4 people meeting for the first time ended up staying together for much longer even after the tour ended, that’s the testimony of his tour guiding skills. Highly recommended.”

“Spectacular location! Although still in Cairo, the boat is near large green fields of date palms and tall grass. Beautiful landscape for a sunset on the Nile. It was just me, our guide and the captain, and we had great conversations about Egyptian culture and history. Very helpful, friendly, inteligent guy. We became instant friends.”
