Excursion on the Nile by felucca
A fantastic experience, this felucca excursion between Aswan and Kom Ombo (2 days, 1 night)!
A big thank you to Ibrahim and Mido, who took great care of our family (2 adults and 4 teens between 16 and 19 years old).
Everyone was delighted by this break on the Nile: relaxing sailing, magnificent sunrise and sunset.
The captain was lovely with our children who sail, and let them maneuver the felucca 😊. They were delighted!
The meals, prepared on the felucca, were delicious and it was a real pleasure to share the meal with the crew!
And the night on the felucca was very comfortable; blankets and mosquito nets are available if needed.

First Class Trip through Egypt with Kemet Travel
We had a fantastic two night voyage sailing from Aswan to Kom Ombo with our marvellous crew Ibrahim and Middow.
Our trip included stopping off to visit a local village and mooring in shaded coves to swim in the Nile.
The meals prepared by the crew were wonderful and the gentle sailing was a delight especially with the bird wildlife we encountered along the way.
We can't thank the guys enough and to Kemet for their organisation.

Blissful trip
Picked up in the morning for a 1 night trip on the Nile. The afternoon food was ridden in a small kitchen but was very tasty. The captain and mate were both super friendly and committed to us. It was a very pleasant trip to make.

Fabulous experience!
Our experience was fabulous on Tarek and Mohamed's felucca.
We spent two very relaxing days and nights there, far from the hustle and bustle of sightseeing!
The meals are excellent, cooked directly on the felucca by Mohamed. Tarek and Mohamed took great care of our comfort throughout the entire trip. A big thank you!

Best felucca on the Nile
I recommend this trip without hesitation! Everything was perfect.
If you want to have a unique experience as a couple, with family, or with friends: this is the perfect felucca!
The welcome is simple and well explained, the team is responsive and replies very quickly.
The felucca is typical and very comfortable. Under the roof, there is a large space to relax in the cool, sheltered from the sun! Ideal for playing cards, reading, or taking a nap…
On the roof, it is the perfect place to lounge, sunbathe, and admire the beautiful sunsets.
The chef is top-notch: we eat extremely well and in large quantities!
It is very pleasant to chat and learn more about this beautiful country and this region.
We discover wild places, swim in the Nile, and meet very welcoming Nubian families!
Best experience on the Nile!!! Thank you!!!

Two magical days.
With Ahmed and Waleed, we spent two fantastic days. Ahmed is an exceptional cook and a very attentive person, and Waleed is a great captain. I highly recommend it. Even though it was hot, it was very comfortable on the felucca. Additionally, we took some dives in the Nile and went fishing. An unforgettable experience.

A magical moment
We spent a day and a night on a felucca with Tarik & Seleman.
It was a magnificent experience and especially a wonderful encounter.
Beyond the landscapes and the tranquility of the Nile, we exchanged and shared good moments, and we also ate very well and discovered delicious Egyptian specialties. Everything was perfect from the beginning; thank you to Tarik and Seleman for everything!

Great 3-night-experience on the nile
We had a great 3-night-experience on the nile with Tarek and Sulayman. They took really good care of us and the food was amazing. I am vegetarian and I always had more than enough food. There were no other guests but my friend and I, therefore it was a very calm, quiet journey. If you enjoy the simple life and can live without a proper shower for 3 days - this tour is for you!
