Tour di Nile Felucca

“We booked the sunset tour last minute, and our guide was super quick and flexible in making it happen. An elderly gentleman was our skipper, and since there was no wind that day, a motorboat towed us for a few hundred meters. Our guide, who’s an engineer, was really knowledgeable and happy to answer all our questions. It was our first time in Egypt, so we were curious to learn more about life and culture here. It was a relaxing and beautiful…”

“Our photographer is a super host and a personable individual. He went out of his way to pick me and my sister from our hotel. He made us feel valued as customers and straight away built a rapport. The felluca is beautiful and watching the sunset is sublime. Our photographer took photos of us,offered us water and soft drinks and narrated the history of Cairo and the Nile. Overall a wondrous trip to end our holiday in Cairo.”

“Our photographer is knowledgeable and warm host. I, and my two friends, Helen and Nicholas booked an evening sail on Nile experience with him. It was a good experience overall. You can feel the energy of Nile while you are sailing. Our photographer took a lot of photos of me, thank you so much! It was a great way to unwind and talk and learn about Egyptian topography, politics and what's happening around the world and its impact on Cairo.”

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…”

“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.”

I will be doing it again next time I’m in Cairo and would recommend our guide to anyone and everyone.”

“The experience was really nice - a peaceful sunset over the Nile with good coordination throughout. The view was beautiful and it was a relaxing way to spend the evening. 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. Overall a pleasant experience, but…”

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. Our guide doesn't actually sail the boat, he works for the company that runs a number of similar boats and…”

Also a master photo taker, he offered to do a mini photoshoot with the sunset in the background. I shared the experience with one other person so we had plenty of space and comfort.
