Quiet Nile Felucca Tour

“Fun experience to sail on the Nile with an authentic felucca under the guidance of our guide who shares all his knowledge and passion. Our guide is really friendly and warm! Unfortunately, it became windless during our funeral, so we didn't get far, but still worth it!”

Our photographer ensured everything went very smoothly and even accommodated us when we were running slightly late! If you are looking for chill vibes, great conversations and tourist recommendations, look no further! We thoroughly enjoyed sailing through banks of Cairo and Giza watching over the sunset! 🌅 would 1000% recommend…”

He is so kind and thoughtful and an excellent communicator. His English is absolutely perfect and his joy in spending this time with…”

“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…”

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”

“Very glad to have met our photographer and have him as a guide! not only informative, he provided an incredible experience along with being a great photographer to remember my trip! Shukran!”
