The total experience was a complete ripoff off and upsell. The booking process was fine but was quoted $25 and then the price jumped to $45. The driver was prompt and coordinated well but the entire trip lasted 25 minutes instead of the promised hour and the boat captain kept badgering me for a tip. This should have been a $10 trip at best and out of the dozen or so vessels in the vicinity, I was the only guest. I would definitely not recommend this experience and recommend going thru a hotel.
Relax and enjoy the ride. It was very peaceful and a wonderful ride on the nile. Our tour guide picked us up and took us to the boat. it was a 45-50 minute ride on the water. Our boatsman was Luxor. A friendly guy who was willing to make our ride pleasant. Could not see the sunset but the ride was very memorable
The sailing in the Nile was an extremely amazing and exciting adventure to do. The guys that prepared the trip for us were so professional.
The calm and quite of sailing on the Nile was a perfect end to our busy day. The gorgeous night time view of the city was beautiful and seeing the all the colour boats on the Nile was beautiful. Both our driver and the man sailing the boat were skilled and experienced. We had a pleasure thanks to their skilled service. Would 100% recommend (and also recommend bringing a jacket if you're going after sunset, the wind can get a little chilly).
It was an amazing experience ! I went on the boat with my mom it was so relaxing and quiet. 100% recommend
