What To Expect

Embark on a 2-hour sail along the majestic Nile. Before the sailing starts, enjoy a hotel pickup about 15 minutes earlier in a comfy, air-conditioned vehicle driven by the company representative and the driver, taking you to the Felucca dock to begin your adventure. From there, enjoy a 2-hour cruise., taking in the tranquil scenery as the sun sets, casting a warm glow over the surroundings-weather permitting. Feel the gentle breeze as you sail, savoring a refreshing cup of tea, along with water provided to ensure your comfort throughout the experience. Witness the Nile sunset's magic as its colors shift, reflecting on the water for unforgettable moments, whether under clear skies or a moody horizon. As the sun sets, we'll head back to the Felucca dock for a safe, comfortable ride back to your hotel. Important note: We'll do our best to inform you in advance about the weather conditions and whether the wind will allow the felucca to sail on the day of your booking.

My favourite experience in Luxor

This is must do experience in Luxor. Our tour guide Ahmed, was nothing short of fantastic. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable and so kind. He went above and beyond to make sure this experience was a fun one for my friend and I. Taking different routes to accomodate my interest in animals. Incredibly down to earth, I really felt so safe, like I could let my hair down in his and his crews company. Really was a beautiful experience, you’ll never forget it or regret it.
Must do in Luxor!!!

We had the best time during our ride on the Nile. From the beginning we were met at our hotel and taken to the boat. The boat driver and deck hand were extremely polite and made us feel so welcomed. It was a great experience all around. I highly recommend doing this if you have a free night in Luxor! The views were beautiful, we had tea/water/Coke and bananas/mangoes. They also helped take many great photos of us. We really enjoyed our time and were extremely impressed with the quality of everything especially the crew.
A perfect Luxor experience

Such a great experience from start to end. Our guide made sure we knew what to expect, and the views sailing down the Nail were incredible. We even made a short stop to get into the water which was clean and clear.

The sunset ride must be one of our most memorable experiences. You can view the hotels and people along the banks as well as many other boats but there is still such a tranquility and surrealness to the experience. The gentleman, I think his name is Ahmed, but he was very Professional and Knowledgeable. The other 2 guys on the boat were very friendly and made us feel so comfortable. When we return we will definitely book other tours with them. Thank You for an Unforgettable hour.
Great tour

Everything was perfect: from the first contact to the return to our hotel. This felucca ride will remain one of our fondest memories in Egypt. Many thanks to Ahmed for this wonderful experience, out of time and away from the tumult of Luxor. I recommend with my eyes closed.
Best experience in Egypt!

We had a great time thanks to the whole team. Thousands of thanks for this moment, for your kindness, sympathy and respect. We had our best experience in Egypt thanks to this. Ahmed the Guide was of remarkable kindness and cultural richness. “Captain” Ahmed was incredibly gentle and respectful. What about the young assistant Ahmed? An absolutely wonderful child who, in addition, prepared us the best tea we had ever drunk! Thanks again to you three!!!!!
Very good experience
