“We were on board with our 3 year old son, and even he immediately took our guide to his heart! It was very interesting to learn all about the local conditions. We talked about politics, the people in Cairo, and much more. The sunset was a dream and the tranquility did us very well. We can only recommend it to everyone. Thank you our guide ❤️ and best regards from our son!”

He played songs and told me a lot of fun stories. He was very sticky, so I enjoyed the conversation even though I was a very introverted person. He also took really good 🫣 photos. If you ride around 🙌🙌 sunset, it's really awesome. I recommend it.👌”

“Went on this activity with my dad and had a lovely time. The trip on the sail boat was calm and peaceful and felt extremely authentic. Our guide was friendly and professional and had an answer to all our questions. Besides the trip, he gave us recommendations for our time in Cairo and drove us back to our hotel after the trip. I recommend without hesitation.”

Our guide is a very genuine, experienced, and personal individual and is an expert at designing a personalized experience for his guests.

“We took a leisurely cruise on the Nile on a traditional Felucca sailboat. It's my first time on a boat that uses only the wind and no motor at all. I was very impressed! You can feel the pleasant breeze of the Nile, the sparkle, and the sound of the waves up close. Ah, this is the Nile River. It's the best trip on a small ship. Our guide was also very kind and told me stories about the local people and ancient times. Thank you so much for the…”Read the full review on Tripadvisor

The wind was low so it made the cruise slower which we preferred. host offered to give us a refund or rebook if we didnt want to carry on with the cruise with lower wind speeds although that was out of his control”
