10/15/2022 0 Comments Nile river cruiseOur first night we did a river cruise on the Nile!! We planned everything through the hotel and they were extremely helpful getting us a great reservation. We arrived to the boat and were met by the cruise manager and taken immediately to great seats in the dining area to be able to view the show. We were confused at first as a bunch of people started leaving their seats and coming back with food, when the manager came back and told us that we were getting food served to us, and we got a free coke and water to start. Once the boat pushed off, we were served with an array of sauces and hummus, salads, and a main course of rice, lamb, chicken, and a sautéed vegetable dish. Something we were told before going to Egypt was that the food isn't good, unfortunately this seemed to be slightly true for our experience, however the sautéed vegetable dish was sooo good!!
During our dinner, a belly dancer came through the crowd and gave an amazing performance! She was so beautiful and an incredible dancer. The show was very entertaining, and then she came through and took photos with everyone. The photo was later printed given to everyone, for a small fee, and I'm so happy we got to keep it. After dinner we stepped outside and walked around the boat and I felt so grateful for the opportunity to be there and that I was on the freaking NILE!! Like AHHH! We went onto the top deck, took some photos, and really just took in the moment that we were in Egypt and what the rest of the week would hold. After awhile we went to the dinner area again where there was a comedian that sang at Brittany. He sang a popular Arabic comedy song, while we didn't understand the words, his intonations and everything he was doing with it was hilarious. The belly dancer came back out and danced with the comedian. The manager pointed at Brittany and I, and they took us up with them onto the mini-stage area and we tried belly dancing a bit with them. We had a lot of fun overall, and later the manager came over and pretended to offer us jobs on the boat haha. We went back onto the top deck outside and just relaxed as the boat came back to port. It was a lovely evening and a wonderful way to start our trip! <3
