We had the felucca for ourselves. The staff was very nice. They offered us tea and they even let me navigate a bit. We didn't go very far on the Nile, as it was not very windy on the day of our tour. It was a nice and relaxing experience and they even took us to our next destination in the city.

Nice sunset views on the Nile, skilled felucca captain. But there was no guide on board, as I thought.

We did this outing as a couple. Boat waiting for us at the hotel on the bank of the Nile, very good because we didn't have to leave the hotel. Duration: we stayed for around 1h10 on the Nile and let ourselves be carried by the wind, which was very weak this day. The hotel was always within sight. Overall nice, value for money, tea offered for free. Do not plan as an outing to discover the Nile but more as a romantic moment at sunset. Very pleasant and kind staff. Don’t forget the tip 😉
