Great ride
Our guide Mohamed Salah was really nice. We were late on the trip due to a flight delay, but he still made the trip possible. The explanation was really helpful for us to learn more about the Felucca boat and Aswan.

Felucca Sunset Dream Experience
It was a very enjoyable experience with Moataz, our nubian guide. From the get go, he was very kind and told us about many different aspects of Aswan and Nubian culture. He is very knowledgeable and a great sense of humor. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Aswan!
