Our felucca ride on the Nile with Forever Egypt Tours was an absolutely magical experience and one of the most peaceful and memorable moments of our trip to Egypt. From the moment we stepped onto the traditional wooden felucca, everything felt calm, authentic, and perfectly arranged. Gliding gently along the Nile, away from the noise of the city, gave us a completely different perspective of Egypt—serene, timeless, and incredibly beautiful. Once again, Waleed made all the difference. His professionalism, warm hospitality, and attention to every detail ensured the experience was seamless from start to finish. He chose the perfect time for the ride, allowing us to enjoy the soft breeze, stunning views, and a breathtaking sunset over the Nile. His explanations about the river’s history and its importance to Egyptian life added real depth to what could have been just a simple boat ride. The felucca itself was clean, comfortable, and operated by friendly, skilled sailors who made us feel safe and relaxed throughout. It was the perfect way to slow down, take photos, and simply enjoy the beauty of the Nile in its most authentic form. This felucca ride was not just an activity—it was a truly memorable experience. Forever Egypt Tours and Waleed once again exceeded our expectations. If you want to experience the Nile in the most genuine and unforgettable way, this is the company to choose. Highly recommended.

This was a fun day. We booked the tour to celebrate my wife's birthday. Guide Mamoud and his driver picked us up from the hotel and returned us there. Ride was pleasant as we and the guide were the only ones on the boat. Fun day!
