Step aboard a traditional wooden sailboat and drift into Egypt’s ancient rhythm. As the sail catches the wind, the noise of the city fades away — replaced by the gentle splash of water and the soft hum of the river breeze. The view? Absolutely breathtaking. Temples glowing in the sunset, palm trees mirrored on the water, and life on the Nile moving at its own timeless pace.
Perfect for couples, families, or solo travelers looking to slow down and soak in real Egypt — this experience offers pure serenity and authentic local charm. Your captain knows every curve of the river and will make sure you relax, sip a drink, and let the moment take over.

What To Expect
Sail into the heart of Egypt’s timeless beauty aboard a traditional felucca, gliding gently across the Nile as the golden sun dips behind the Theban hills. Feel the breeze in your hair, hear the soft ripples of the river, and watch as life along the banks unfolds — farmers tending their fields, palm trees swaying, and the temples glowing in the warm evening light. Whether you choose a sunset cruise wrapped in shades of gold and pink, or a morning sail under a clear blue sky, this peaceful journey captures the soul of Luxor — calm, ancient, and endlessly beautiful. Your friendly local crew will ensure your comfort, offering drinks and warm hospitality as you drift past landmarks like the Luxor Temple, the bananas island, and the charming riverfront. It’s not just a boat ride — it’s a glimpse into the rhythm of the Nile, unchanged for thousands of years.

Sunset felucca on Nile

5.00Sunset tour on the Nile river, great experience. Captain and crew were excellent, easy to enjoy the beauty of Luxor on water. Able to relax and enjoy. Must do with Felucca. We had an early dinner at metro restaurant on the water and they picked us up from rest. Ease to book and flexible. Helped us get a ride to airport after cruise.

5.00I decided to take the Felluca Sunset at the last minute, and I have to say that I had the best experience of my life. They came pick me up at the hotel and drop me off at the end of the tour. The guide and the captain were two unbelievable human beings. I felt like have known them for years. Very nice and friendly guys. I enjoyed every minute of the trip and for sure, I’ll choose Fellica Smile Luxor again, and again for all my tourist needs if I’ll be back in Luxor. Great job guy!!!!!

5.00The experience was so pleasant. We were picked up on time at our hotel. Hamdi welcomed us at the pier. He took care of us making sure we were comfortable on the Felucca. He offered drinks, pillows, took pictures, and was a great conversationalist. The pictures I took we’re espectacular. I was so relaxed on the boat, I felt asleep for a short while before the sunset. This experience was a high light in our trip. My kids enjoyed it too.

On the nile at sunset with a felucca

5.00Booked the private felucca for my family of 4 via WhatsApp a day after meeting Hamdi on the walkway next to the Nile close to the felucca harbor. Communications was good, we got onboard at the set time, 16:30. No wind, so we got pulled by a motorboat after a while. The hosts rowed the felucca back. I got the honor to steer. Back on land at 17:45. Great view, great experience!

5.00Watching the sunset from a Luxor felucca was an unforgettable experience. The two crew members took excellent care of my husband and me. It was the ultimate relaxation we needed after being exhausted by the Egyptian desert, noise, and heat. Thank you!
