If you’re solo traveller, this is a good option - I had a great experience during this excursion, thanks to my tour guide Abduo Abdelaziz. So what I learned is that, the tour guide, books one of number of Nile cruises. The ‘Andrea’ boat was chosen for me. I booked this the night before and had originally selected the 6:30pm pickup but Abdelaziz recommended I do the 5pm pickup. The belly dancing on the boat lasted about 40min. It was a women, then a guy, then the same women again. So why I give it 5 stars: - Abdelaziz went above and beyond. He spoke to the boat people and put me in the less crowded show. Thus I sat right in front. (The boat had 2 floors and rooftop) - he gave me heads up that the belly dancers will come around and take pics with you for $5. He strategically took pics with his own phone - he was personable and knowledgeable. He was great to talk to - lastly, when the boat returned back to dock, there was a huge line of people for the next show. So I thanked him again by picking me up at 5pm. Avoid later shows, they’re busy and crowded. In conclusion, I had a great experience. As a solo traveler, I didn’t have to eat dinner alone. He was awesome to converse with. And he uses his own camera to take pics!! I wish I had met him sooner for my Pyramid tour. He goes above and beyond.
