The “Felucca on the Nile in Aswan” excursion offers you a serene and unforgettable journey through the heart of ancient Nubia and the unspoiled landscapes of the Nile. ..Your experience begins with a friendly greeting from our local representative at your hotel in Aswan. From there, you'll be guided to the banks of the Nile, where your traditional felucca—a graceful, sail-powered boat used since Pharaonic times—awaits. Sail into Tranquility Glide across the gentle waters of the Nile, where life moves with the rhythm of the wind. As you sail, take in breathtaking views of palm-fringed shores and golden sands.

5.00From booking the company were helpful and communication was excellent … Omar could not have been more understanding when my husband was ill & we needed to reschedule. Safi was absolutely brilliant in difficult sailing conditions as the sun set & Omar was a confident & knowledgeable guide who made us all feel very comfortable . I highly recommend this company, which provided excellent value for money & avoided us having to deal with the aggressive selling of trips along the riverside.

5.00Small cruise on the Nile at sunset with Captain Safi. Beautiful, so relaxing, you can only hear birds and the lapping of water. Very pleasant moment that I will renew without problem. And Captain Safi was a perfect guide and answer all our questions. I highly recommend this experience
necessary and sufficient tour for watching the sunset on a felucca

5.00If you want to just watch the sunset on a felucca, 1 hour ride is necessary and sufficient. Many guided tours in Egypt tend to cut the duration short. But I enjoyed this tour for full 1 hour. Guide Omar was gentle and friendly. He organized appropriate start-time. He and the driver cooperated each other to make my experience unforgettable. It is reasonable and worth experiencing.
Great experience

5.00Our experience with the felucca Ride was absolutely amazing! The trip was exciting and peaceful at the same time. We enjoyed a delicious cup of tea while sailing along the Nile at sunset, it was truly magical. Mr. Safi was an incredible guide: very kind, knowledgeable, and he shared so much interesting information about the history and Nubian traditions. Everything was perfectly organized, and we felt very well taken care of from start to finish. We are very thankful for this unforgettable experience and totally recommend it to anyone visiting Aswan who wants to enjoy a relaxing and authentic sunset ride. 🌿⛵

Best experience in Aswan

5.00This is definitely one of the top travel experiences I’ve had. We were lucky in late October to have a nice breeze to power the sail up and down the Nile. The peacefulness of being on the Nile with no motorboat or splashing noises generated from any wake was incredible. Book this private tour - we had an amazing guide Omar who spoke excellent English and knew so much about the local area and culture. He took some amazing sunset pictures of us and brought us a tasty snack of dates with cashews. He was so good I would honestly try to book other tours with him in Aswan if I came back! The boat was extremely clean and the captain was very good at his job. We did not have a car ride as we were greeted from the dock of our Nile cruise ship by our guide Omar, who led us a few steps away to where the felucca was docked.
Amazing!
