Private Felucca Sunrise or Sunset Ride on the Nile River in Luxor
Description
Set out on a 2-hour Felucca sail along the Nile. Your experience begins with hotel pickup about 15 minutes before departure in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle with the company representative and driver, taking you to the Felucca dock. Once on board, enjoy a peaceful sail along the Nile while taking in the calm scenery. Whether at sunrise as the river wakes in soft golden light, or at sunset as the sky turns warm and glowing, the atmosphere is unforgettable. Sit back and enjoy the gentle breeze as the Felucca glides across the river. Tea and bottled water are provided. Watch the sky reflect on the Nile, offering perfect photo moments and a sense of peace in morning or evening light. After the sail, the Felucca returns to the dock, where your driver will take you back to your hotel. Important note: We will try to inform you in advance about weather conditions and whether the wind will allow sailing. If there is not enough wind, the Felucca will be safely towed by a motorboat.

This is must do experience in Luxor. Our tour guide Ahmed, was nothing short of fantastic. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable and so kind. He went above and beyond to make sure this experience was a fun one for my friend and I. Taking different routes to accomodate my interest in animals. Incredibly down to earth, I really felt so safe, like I could let my hair down in his and his crews company. Really was a beautiful experience, you’ll never forget it or regret it.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I really enjoyed spending this time with you both on the Felucca. I’m glad you felt relaxed and safe, that’s always most important for me. It was also nice taking the little detours for the animals, I’m happy you enjoyed that as much as I did. Hope to see you again in Luxor for another beautiful sunset on the Nile.
We had the best time during our ride on the Nile. From the beginning we were met at our hotel and taken to the boat. The boat driver and deck hand were extremely polite and made us feel so welcomed. It was a great experience all around. I highly recommend doing this if you have a free night in Luxor! The views were beautiful, we had tea/water/Coke and bananas/mangoes. They also helped take many great photos of us. We really enjoyed our time and were extremely impressed with the quality of everything especially the crew.

The boat cruise was perfect, the guys on the boat were very welcoming and friendly. They made sure we were having a good time the whole trip. They even anchored the boat to allow us to have a swim which was a highlight. Thanks once again!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had a perfect cruise and that the crew made it extra special for you. Anchoring for a swim is always a guest favorite-glad you enjoyed that highlight! Hope to welcome you back aboard sometime soon for another great ride on the Nile.
