Peaceful felucca ride on Nile river
Ahmed is very friendly & nice tour guide. During the trip, he walked us through many major sights along the Nile river and shared many relevant historical facts on those. The felucca we got was very lovely. It’s powered entirely by wind power, so that it sailed peacefully with no machinery noise and diesel smell. Highly recommend his tour!

Simply AMAZING
I went with my girlfriend for the very first time here in Aswan and I have to say that the experience that we had was astonishing. Through the details, the culture, the laughs. Our tour guide Moadaz Saloh was spectacular. Would recommend him to anyone who is traveling here! He’s also an amazing photographer hahaha

You shouldn't miss this experience
Mohamed introduced us to the magical city of Aswan, and what a beautiful experience it was! We had originally planned a felucca ride, but thanks to Mohamed, we also stopped at a traditional Nubian guest house, saw their household crocodiles and visited the local market — all on the same day. I highly recommend anyone travelling to Egypt to stop in Aswan. And if you don't want to miss anything: just contact Mohamed and let him show you around the city, and arrange a felucca ride at sunset — you won’t be disappointed! Thank you, Mohamed, for showing us Aswan through your eyes and turning what we had planned as a simple felucca ride into such a memorable experience!

Cancelled with no refund
The operator cancelled the tour 30 minutes before due to weather. After repeated attempts to get a refund, they have ignored my requests every time. I do not recommend this.
