Itinerary
Our representative will pick up you to enjoy cruising along the Nile River on a felucca (traditional sailing boat) during a private 2-hour trip from your Luxor hotel. After you are picked up from your hotel, you will be transported to the water in an air-conditioned vehicle. Board the boat and relax on the soft cushions. Then enjoy a cool drink as you gently glide down the river. Look around you for scenes that have not changed in millennia. See the children playing in the water, observe the camels and watch the farmers going about their work in the same ways they have done for centuries, and admire the water buffalo and a wide variety of birds and wildlife. Then watch as the sun sets slowly over the West Bank and the Valley of the Kings.

Nice sailing experience a bit pricey compared to on street vendors. It was a big basic and not enough to see within one hour. Basically circling round the same place. Would have been nicer to sail towards the back of the luxor or karnak temples.
Thank you for your honest feedback — we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the sailing itself, but we understand your concerns regarding the duration and route of the trip. Our felucca experience is designed to offer a relaxing and safe sunset sail within a specific time frame approved for comfort and scheduling, especially during busy hours on the Nile. Regarding the route, sailing areas are sometimes influenced by wind conditions, river traffic, and safety regulations, which can limit how far the boat can go within one hour. However, your suggestion about sailing closer toward Luxor or Karnak is very valuable, and we will definitely take it into consideration as we work on improving our experience. As for pricing, we aim to provide a reliable service that includes organized pickup, verified boats, and overall quality assurance — which may differ from informal street vendors. Your feedback helps us grow, and we truly hope to have the chance to offer you an even better experience next time 🌿
Great atmosphere and a super nice team who were very eager to give us a great experience - get delicious tea
