Hurghada: Naz Cabaret ticket with beverages

A secret door opens onto old Cairo glamour. Naz Cabaret turns an evening in Hurghada into a theatrical night out, with a bookshelf entrance, velvet walls, candlelit tables, live music, dancers, and stage acts in a subterranean club. At $35 per person, the setting and two included drinks give the night a clear appeal.

I like the hidden entrance and the strong 1940s Cairo theme. I also like the mix of dancers, live singing, jazz, and variety acts, since the program is more than a simple music set. The main concern is cost after arrival: extra drinks, water, shisha, and food can add up fast, and the included beverage arrangement needs careful checking.

The smart-casual dress rule matters here. You need an ID, must be at least 21, and cannot enter in shorts, swimwear, sandals, or flip flops. Single men are not admitted, so check your party details before paying.

Key points to know before booking

• A bookshelf hides the entrance: You enter through a concealed door in the reception area before descending to the club.
• Two alcoholic drinks are included: Choose from two cocktails or local beer, while extra food and drinks cost more.
• The show mixes several acts: Expect sultry dance, live singing, jazz, and hypnotic stage performances, including a hoop act and magic according to the current program.
• The room favors atmosphere over a huge party crowd: Velvet, gilded arches, chandeliers, candles, and dark corners create a theatrical mood.
• Dress rules are strict: Smart casual clothing is required, with no shorts, swimwear, slippers, sandals, or flip flops.
• Transport covers selected resort areas: Pickup and drop-off can be arranged from El Gouna, Soma Bay, Sahl Hasheesh, and Makadi.

Finding the bookshelf entrance in Hurghada

Naz Cabaret begins before the first drink. Look for the concealed door set into a reception bookshelf, then head downstairs into the club. That small bit of theater gives the evening a sense of occasion. You are not simply walking into another hotel bar with loud music and bright signs.

The design aims for underground Cairo in the 1940s. Velvet-lined walls, gilded arches, flickering chandeliers, and dim candlelight create a setting that feels deliberately old-fashioned. The room is built for atmosphere: you sit close to the stage, watch light move across the decor, and settle into dark corners with a drink.

I would choose this setting for a dressed-up night with a partner or a mixed group. It is less suited to anyone looking for a casual pub, a large dance floor, or a quick show that starts the moment you arrive.

The hidden entrance also means you should allow time to find the reception point and complete entry checks. Bring an ID card, or a copy of it, and do not arrive dressed for the beach. Hurghada is a resort town, but Naz Cabaret expects evening clothing.

A 1940s Cairo theme with a modern nightclub mood

The theme is not a history lesson. It is a stage-world built from old Cairo images: sequins, oud in the air, smoky drinks, music, and theatrical glamour. That distinction matters. You come for mood and performance, not for an exact reconstruction of a period club.

The best part of this idea is the contrast with Hurghada’s usual holiday setting. After a day near the Red Sea, the evening shifts indoors to dark velvet, gold trim, and spotlight drama. The underground design gives the night a private, slightly secretive character without requiring a long trip outside the resort zone.

The room can also shape the energy of the evening. A recent account described the hall as only partly filled, which meant the atmosphere felt quiet rather than feverish. That is worth considering. Naz Cabaret may feel intimate and polished, but the mood can depend on how full the room is on your night.

I would not book it solely for a packed nightclub experience. Book it for the design, the stage program, and the chance to dress up. If the audience is smaller, you may get a better view, but you may not get the loud crowd energy some people expect from a cabaret.

What happens during the show

The performance program is the heart of the evening. You can expect dance numbers with changing costumes, live music, singing, and special acts. The stage has included a hoop performance and a magician, adding variety to the more traditional dance portions.

The strongest praise goes to the singers and dancers. One singer was described as having a top-quality voice, while other comments singled out the dancers, music, and live singing as highlights. That makes the show more than background entertainment while you drink.

The dance section may not suit everyone. A long run of similar belly dance numbers can start to feel repetitive, especially if several routines use the same basic format with different costumes. I would set your expectations accordingly: this is a cabaret built around sensual dance and stage glamour, with variety acts mixed in, not a tightly plotted theater production.

The hoop act and magic provide useful changes of pace. Live singing also gives the program a warmer, more human feel than a show built only from recorded music. If you enjoy performance variety, the mix should hold your attention better than dance alone.

The schedule deserves a little patience. One evening had a 9 pm meeting time but did not begin until 10 pm. You may need to wait before the main performance starts, so do not plan a tight connection with another nighttime activity. The advertised starting time can vary, and availability should be checked before booking.

Two cocktails or local beer, with a close eye on the bill

The $35 price includes two alcoholic cocktails or local beers. That is a reasonable starting value if you want a full evening of entertainment in a dressed-up setting and would otherwise pay separately for drinks and a show.

The important phrase is starting value. Additional food and drinks come from a separate menu. Water, shisha, replacement drinks, and extra orders are not covered by the ticket. One bill for a shisha, two waters, and two additional drinks exceeded €80, creating a serious complaint about unclear pricing.

I recommend asking for the price of every extra item before ordering. Confirm which two drinks are included, and check whether a cocktail, beer, or particular brand carries a supplement. Do the same for water and shisha. This is not being difficult. It is the simplest way to keep a $35 night from becoming a much more expensive one.

The included drinks are alcoholic, so this arrangement is not ideal if you do not drink. The supplied details do not promise a nonalcoholic substitute, so ask in advance rather than assuming. Food is also optional and charged separately.

For value, I would rate the ticket as fair when you stick close to the inclusion. It becomes poor value if you order freely without checking the menu. Naz Cabaret’s setting may look lavish, but the price of a ticket does not cover everything placed on the table.

Pickup from four resort areas

Transportation is optional and can be arranged from El Gouna, Soma Bay, Sahl Hasheesh, and Makadi. Details are confirmed by direct communication after booking, so give accurate hotel and contact information and settle the pickup plan before the evening.

There is no standard pickup service from other areas unless separately agreed. If you are staying elsewhere in Hurghada, do not assume a transfer is included. You may need to arrange your own way to the venue.

A planned pickup can make the night easier, especially when the show finishes late or when you plan to enjoy the included alcohol. It also removes the need to work out the route after dark. Still, transportation is not part of the basic ticket for every location, so confirm what applies to your hotel.

Because the activity is valid for one day and starting times depend on availability, check the schedule before committing to dinner or another show. If the start is delayed, a flexible evening will be much more comfortable than a tightly packed one.

Dress code, age limit, and entry rules

Naz Cabaret has a firmer door policy than a normal Hurghada bar. You must be 21 or older, and the activity is not suitable for anyone under 21. The stated upper suitability limit is 95 years.

Wear smart casual clothing. Long trousers or a smart skirt, a shirt or neat top, and proper closed shoes are the sensible choice. Shorts, swimwear, slippers, sandals, and flip flops are not allowed. Coming directly from the beach in resort clothing is likely to create a problem at the door.

Single male entry is not allowed. This is one of the most important booking conditions, since it can affect an otherwise valid reservation. Mixed groups and couples should check their party arrangement before booking.

The venue also has a zero-tolerance policy for inappropriate behavior. That is good news for the tone of the room, but it means you should treat the night as a cabaret performance, not a place for rowdy conduct. Reservations are canceled at 11 pm if there is no show, so arriving late is a risky plan.

Who will enjoy Naz Cabaret most

I would recommend Naz Cabaret to couples, friends celebrating a special night, and anyone who likes themed interiors with live stage entertainment. It works particularly well if you enjoy dressing up and prefer a show with several acts rather than one long music performance.

The experience is also a good fit if you want something different from a resort restaurant or ordinary nightclub. The bookshelf entrance, underground setting, candlelight, and old Cairo styling give the evening a clear identity.

I would be more cautious if you dislike belly dance, prefer quiet conversation, avoid alcohol, or want a fast, tightly timed program. The venue’s main appeal comes from its sensual stage style and dark theatrical setting. Those features will charm some people and feel repetitive or overly dramatic to others.

You should also think about your tolerance for add-on prices. The included drinks offer a clean way to control spending, but the separate menu needs attention. If you want shisha, several drinks, water, and dinner, your final cost may be far above the headline price.

Cancellation and planning advice

You can cancel up to 24 hours before the activity for a full refund, and the reserve-now-pay-later option lets you hold a place without paying at once. That flexibility helps if your Hurghada plans are still moving around.

Advance reservations are required. Check the available starting time, confirm the pickup area if needed, and keep your ID with you. Since management can cancel a reservation, retain the booking communication until the evening is over.

My practical plan would be simple: book for a night when you have no early start the next morning, arrive in proper evening clothes, allow for a possible delay before the show, and decide in advance how much you want to spend on extras.

Should you book Naz Cabaret?

Book it if the setting matters as much as the show. The secret bookshelf entrance, underground Cairo styling, live singer, dancers, jazz, magic, and hoop act create a memorable night with a strong sense of place. At $35, two included alcoholic drinks make the basic package reasonably priced.

Skip it if you want transparent all-in pricing, a packed nightclub, or a performance with little repeated dance. The extra charges are the biggest warning, and the start may be later than expected.

My verdict is positive but practical: Naz Cabaret is worth booking for atmosphere and live entertainment, provided you confirm the drink inclusions and keep control of the extras. Go dressed for the occasion, arrive with the right party, and treat the ticket price as the beginning of the bill, not necessarily the end.
