View on Tripadvisor“I recommend this experience to everyone visiting Cairo. It takes you back to the Egyptian ancestors and the typical boat they sailed on the Nile River. We chose the sunset time, making the experience even more magical. It was our last experience on our final day in Cairo, and I can say it was the icing on the cake! It allowed us to relax and feel the stark contrast between the city's chaos and the calmness of the Nile River. Our photographer is…”Read the full review on Tripadvisor

“Lovely host who enjoys people, culture and adventure and goes the extra step to please you. Our photographer was kind to pick me up and drop me off in his car which was really nice and very unexpected. The ride was beautiful and he took some great photos of me with the full moon background at his suggestion. We had delightful conversation about traveling, religion, cultures and he is an expert on Egyptian history, culture and it was great to…”Read the full review on Tripadvisor

“This was a really unique experience to be able to go sail on the Nile on a historic sailboat. The sun was setting as we crossed back and forth across the river with Egyptian style music playing from the guides Bluetooth speakers. You can request any music you like but I wanted something connected with the area. Would highly recommend this experience.”

He especially emphasized that when sailing only with the sails (without the noise of an engine), you can appreciate the majesty of the moment and the place with greater tranquility.”

It was a truly incredible experience to see the sun set from the Nile and our guide and the captain made it even more special.

That said, I felt it was a little overpriced for what was offered. It would have been great to have some tea or snacks to enjoy while watching the sunset, and having a guide share stories about the Nile would have made it even more memorable.

But we had a great group of people and an really interesting conversation and even just sitting on the river at sunset was so nice. The boat is also wonderful, no engine and a cloth sail...quite incredible.

If we could, we would give 10 Stars. He only speaks English, but it was written, but we had translation headphones. It is an experience in our opinion to be done, very nice sunset on the Nile”
