Feluca di lusso sul Nilo con pranzo

Our trip on the Nile was amazing, a beautiful experience with our amazing guide Ahmed. He gave us an insightful overview to our surroundings, I can’t recommend this experience and Ahmed enough.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable afternoon on the Nile I booked a private felucca experience with Ahmed during my stay in Cairo, and it became one of the most memorable and meaningful experiences of my entire trip to Egypt. From the moment we met, Ahmed was warm, funny and incredibly enthusiastic about his country. His passion for Egypt and its history is infectious — once he starts talking about Egyptology you can see how much it genuinely means to him. By the end of the afternoon I had apparently also acquired an Egyptian brother! The felucca itself was fantastic. We spent several hours sailing on the Nile with Said, our captain, and Camba, the photographer. There was no feeling of being rushed from one thing to another. We sailed around the island, stopped, talked, ate an enormous Egyptian meal and simply enjoyed being on the river. The food and hospitality were incredibly generous — so generous, in fact, that they had accidentally prepared enough food for two guests even though I was travelling alone! I also booked the photography option and I’m so pleased I did. Camba took 187 photographs during the afternoon, while Ahmed also took around another 50 on my phone. It meant I could actually enjoy the experience rather than spend the whole afternoon looking at the Nile through my phone screen. There was also a very personal reason this particular trip mattered to me. My mum had died exactly three months earlier, and shortly before Ahmed collected me I asked whether there might be somewhere quiet and discreet where I could scatter a small amount of her ashes on the Nile. His response was immediate and incredibly kind. He simply said yes, offered his condolences and told me he would help me. When the time came, the boat was taken to a quiet and private part of the river. The music was stopped and I was given all the time I needed. Nobody made a spectacle of it and nobody rushed me. Ahmed quietly filmed the moment for me on my phone while Camba took photographs, meaning I now have something incredibly precious that I wasn’t expecting to have. Afterwards, Ahmed gave me a hug. It is difficult to explain in a review how much the way they handled those few minutes meant to me. It was done with complete respect and kindness, and it allowed me to include my mum in a journey to Egypt that she had encouraged me to take. The rest of the afternoon was full of laughter, conversation, food and beautiful views of the Nile. On the drive back to my hotel, Ahmed was still enthusiastically talking to me about Egypt and its history. When we arrived I went to shake his hand goodbye, but he wouldn’t have it. He got out of the car because, in his words, he wanted to “say goodbye to you properly”, and gave me another hug. That probably tells you more about Ahmed than anything else I could write. I came to Egypt expecting to see extraordinary places. What I hadn’t expected was how much some of the people I met would become part of the memories themselves. Ahmed, Said and Camba gave me a wonderful afternoon on the Nile. Ahmed helped make it unforgettable. Thank you, brother. ❤️

we did the private tour on he Feluca it was great ride up the Nile to see many points of interest. the food was enjoyable (alot of it) our guide Ahmed was great and very knowledgeable of the trip

Ahmed was friendly, informative, and generous from pick up to drop off. We had a great conversation while cruising the Nile, and he was a wonderful photographer, capturing so many special photos that we will cherish forever. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was relaxing. Would recommend highly to anyone!

An incredible experience on a felucca along the Nile! We had an incredible experience with Ahmed. The felucca ride was a super nice and relaxed way to enjoy the Nile while we enjoyed our lunch. Ahmed was very kind, attentive, and was always making sure we were comfortable. Also, he takes awesome photos and managed to capture very beautiful moments of the trip, something that made the experience even more special. It was a very peaceful and pleasant moment during our trip to Cairo. Highly recommended if you want to enjoy the Nile in an authentic and special way. Thank you, Ahmed!

Ayman is a nice person. He tries to make experience as good as possible for you. I’d recommend booking during the day though, it’s not as good at night as you can’t see as much.

Ahmed was an amazing guide! The boat dinner was wonderful, with beautiful views and a great atmosphere. He was very professional, kind, and made sure we had an amazing experience. He also took some beautiful pictures for us! I would definitely recommend Ahmed to anyone looking for a great guide.

Fantastic views, wonderful food, genuinely a lovely way to see the sun set in cairo. Very peaceful and serene.

Ahmed was amazing! So attentive to detail & we felt so taken care of. Pick up was a breeze, dinner was delicious, & we had tons of options for drinks. Loved the sunset & the water. They even decorated the boat with flowers &
