Unique nile experience

Organising and the contact with JJ was easy and he responded fast. We were with 7 girls for 1 night. The boat is beautiful with a toilet on board. We sailed smoothly down the nile. We stopped for a nice swim on the way! And the food was amazing!! Tarik and Sulymen were verg friendly and skilled sailers. We had a great and truly unique experience. Thank you!

Awesome trip on a great feluca

We went on an amazing trip on a feluca with Tarik and Sulyman. We sailed the whole afternoon on the Neil and even had a nice swimming stop. Tarik and Sulayman were very friendly. We slept on the boad under the stars which was super cosy. The food was cooked on board and delicious (lunch, diner and breakfast)!

Felucca boat tour Aswan

A wonderful experience with two very friendly staff members. We could swim during the trip, watch the sunset and chill during the boat ride. And the food was very good!! Thank you Tarek for taking good care of us

Great experience on the beautiful river Nile

I would highly recommend this trip. It offers a unique experience of the beauty of the Nile. Also great to wind down a bit during your travels in busy Egypt. Captain Tarik and the chef Sulayman are a great team and will make sure you have a good time. The food is really tasty and fresh and some of the best we’ve eaten in Egypt. Tarik is really friendly and we had a great time talking to him while he showed us the beauty of Egypt!

3 days 2 nights cruise

Great time spent with 2 great people: Captain Gin Tonic and Mustafa! The kitchen was delicious, communication easy and very pleasant, the scenery beautiful. We found what we were looking for: calm, discovery of the Nile and authenticity. Thank you.

Belle expérience

Superbe expérience d'une nuit dans la felouque d'Ibrahim et Tarik. Nous nous sommes régalés aussi bien à table qu'avec les yeux en profitant du calme de cette embarcation sans moteur.

Amazing, laid back trip along the nile with a great company

We had a fantastic 2 night trip from Aswan. I found the company through a blog post and then communicated by email with Waleed who was really helpful and also organised our pick up from Aswan airport and a tour round Aswan including a kayak trip and a tour to Abu Symbel. Nothing was too much trouble and he called me everyday to make sure we were happy. The felucca and crew lead by Captain Medoo was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble. They got us beer and cola for the journey and prepared delicious food for us - some of the best we have eaten and there was loads of it. At night there were pop up mosquito nets and blankets. It was all very comfy. We swam in the Nile and enjoyed watching the wildlife. I would 100% recommend this as a highlight for a trip in Egypt. Also the toilet was super clean which is very important

Unique Experience!

Slow rhythms, kind people and fantastic sunsets. These are the ingredients for a unique experience. Everyone was perfect, the captain and crew, our cook, the organisers. Really recommended. On our boat, the most beautiful boat on the Nile, we had everything we needed. We set sail from Aswan and sailed following the wind. How beautiful!
