A bookshelf door drops you into another era. Naz Cabaret in Hurghada is built around a subterranean nightclub fantasy, with live performances, candlelit corners, and a vintage, secret-night feel. It’s part show, part set design, and part mood lighting.
I especially like two things. First, the entrance is theater by itself, starting with a hidden door inside the reception bookshelf that sends you downstairs fast. Second, the program leans hard into live entertainment, with live jazz and live musical moments that give the night energy.
One thing to keep an eye on: the ticket includes only two drinks, and the rest of the bar menu is extra. In the worst-case scenario, if you order multiple add-ons, the total can rise quickly, and the show style may feel repetitive if you’re not into extended dance sequences.

Key things to know before you go

- Bookcase entrance: you enter through a reception bookshelf and descend into the venue
- 1940s underground Cairo vibe: velvet walls, gilded arches, and flickering chandeliers
- Live performances: sultry dancers, live jazz, live singing, and other stage acts
- Two included drinks: you get 2 alcoholic cocktails or local beer with the ticket
- Smart casual rules: no sandals/flip-flops, no shorts, and no slippers or swimwear
- Adult-only access: age 21+ and no single male entry
A bookshelf door and chandeliers: the atmosphere you’re paying for

This isn’t just a ticket to a show. It’s a ticket into a space designed to feel secret and grown-up, and you notice that from the first minute. You start at reception, walk up to a bookshelf, and enter through a hidden door that leads downward into the nightclub.
Once you’re in, the room does a lot of work for you. Velvet-lined walls, gilded arches, and flickering chandeliers create a warm glow that makes everything feel more cinematic. Even the layout seems built for pauses—tables and corners where you can settle with a drink while the stage does its thing.
What I like about the design is that it supports the mood without requiring you to do anything special. You don’t need to hunt for the “right spot.” You can find a candlelit corner, glance toward the stage, and let the night run on its own pace.

The show: jazz, dancers, singing, and the rhythm of the night

Naz Cabaret’s night is structured around nightly performances, with a theme inspired by 1940s underground Cairo. Expect an alternating flow: music and singing moments, plus dance sequences that keep the stage visually busy.
The most consistently praised part is the live entertainment. Multiple reviews highlight the quality of live music, including live jazz and a strong singer. If you enjoy nights where the sound is performed live in the room—rather than background music—you’re in the right place.
You’ll also see sultry dancers as a big part of the show. Some people love the grace and sensuality; it’s a major ingredient in the experience. If you’re the type who gets tired after repeated dance numbers, plan your mindset accordingly. One low-rating review complained the show felt like the same kind of sequence repeated after several performances, with dancers wearing similar costumes. That’s not a guarantee, but it’s a valid consideration: this is not a short, mixed-style revue.
There are also variety moments beyond standard stage dance. One review specifically mentioned a wheel-style act, plus a standout performance from the singer. So while dance is central, the program isn’t always only dance.
Timing matters too. The official information says to check availability for starting times. Still, one review mentioned a gap between the meetup time and when the show began. My practical take: arrive early enough that a delay won’t make you anxious. You’ll likely have time to settle, take in the lighting, and get your drink order figured out.
Two included drinks: where the value is good and where it can surprise you

At $35 per person, you’re basically buying three things at once: entry to a themed nightclub, the live show, and 2 alcoholic cocktails or local beer. For Hurghada, that’s a fair package if you’re going to drink at least a couple of times during the night.
Here’s the key: the included drinks are capped. Anything else comes from the selected food and beverage menu and is charged separately. That part is normal for venues like this, but it can be frustrating if you assumed the bar would be unlimited.
One lower rating gave a clear example of how costs can escalate: they said they were charged for additional items and felt the drink inclusion was not handled transparently. I can’t verify exact pricing rules from that review, but the lesson is simple and useful for you—treat the included drinks as your baseline, and then decide after you see the menu prices.
Practical move:
- If you want a smoky cocktail vibe, order your included drinks first so you get full value.
- If you want extras like non-included cocktails or shisha, do it intentionally, not automatically.
Also note that you can order beyond drinks. The venue has a menu, but additional orders are not covered. If you keep it to the included two drinks and focus on the show, you’re much more likely to feel satisfied with the price.
Dress code and entry rules: small details that can ruin your night

This is adult nightlife, so the rules are real. You’ll want to dress smart casual and keep it simple.
Allowed/required style cues:
- Bring an ID card. A copy is accepted.
- You must be 21 or older.
- No sandals or flip-flops.
- No shorts.
- No swimwear or slippers.
And there are a couple rules that matter more than people expect:
- No single male entry is allowed.
- There’s a zero tolerance policy for inappropriate behavior.
- Pets are not allowed.
- If you’re over 95, this won’t be suitable.
My advice is to treat the dress code like you’re going to a stylish lounge, not a beach bar. Closed shoes and clean, neat clothing will keep you out of hassle at the door.
Also, think about group planning. Since single men can’t enter, couples and mixed groups (or women-only groups, where allowed) fit the rules more naturally. If you’re traveling solo and you’re male, you’ll need to adjust your plan early.
Pickup and timing: how to get there without stress

The experience is available for pickup in specific areas: El Gouna, Soma Bay, Sahl Hasheesh, and Makadi. If you’re in one of those zones, transportation is arranged in advance after booking when you confirm pickup details with the provider.
If you’re elsewhere, pickup isn’t available unless you agree otherwise. So before you book, check where you’re staying and what area you’re in. It’s the kind of detail that can cost time if you only notice it after you’re already planning your evening route.
The experience is listed as 1 day, and it’s valid for that day. You’ll also want an advance reservation, since entry is tied to reservations and the venue can change plans.
One more timing note: reservations are cancelled at 11 pm if there is no show, and management reserves the right to cancel any reservation. That’s not something you can control, but it’s worth knowing so you’re not left hanging late at night.
Who should go to Naz Cabaret (and who might not love it)

Naz Cabaret is best for people who want a themed night out more than a “sit for an hour and leave” kind of activity. I think it’s especially good if you:
- enjoy live music and singing in a club setting
- like stage lighting, candlelit corners, and strong atmosphere
- are traveling with friends or as a couple for an adult evening
- appreciate vintage, 1940s-inspired showmanship
It’s also a good choice if you want a predictable deal: entry plus two drinks for a fixed price, then the rest is optional.
Who might not be the best match:
- People under 21 (not allowed).
- Single men (not allowed).
- Anyone who hates dance-heavy programs. The show includes sultry dancers as a major component, and at least one reviewer felt it became repetitive after several sequences.
- People who want total control over their spending. The included drinks are only two, and extra items can add up.
If you’re on the fence, think about your personal tolerance for longish performance pacing. If your ideal night is short, varied, and fast-changing, you might feel restless. If you enjoy staying in the mood for the length of a nightlife show, you’re more likely to enjoy it.
So, should you book Naz Cabaret in Hurghada?

Book it if you want a fun, grown-up night with a venue that feels like a story you step into. The best parts are the entrance concept—bookcase door to underground room—and the quality of live entertainment, including jazz and singing. At $35 with two included drinks, the value works well if you order within the included amount and focus on the performances.
Skip it or rethink your expectations if you’re expecting an all-inclusive bar or a very short program with lots of switching acts. The ticket doesn’t cover everything on the menu, and one low rating flagged drink pricing/clarity and show repetition as the problem. Also, check that your travel group fits the 21+ and no-single-male entry rules.
If you’re the right audience—adult, open to dance, and in the mood for vintage club glamour—Naz Cabaret is an easy yes.
