As the sun dips below the horizon, the sky transforms into a palette of warm hues, casting a golden glow on the surrounding temples and landscapes.

Wonderful sunset in Luxor on the Nile

We had a great trip in Luxor sailing on the Nile. First I have to say it was really well organized. We had a private trip as described and could watch a beautiful sunset. Likewise, Ahmed also allowed it to try sailing himself and explained a lot to us. We really had a lot of fun. The atmosphere on the Nile is simply magical and always worth a trip. It was wonderful. Thank you for this great experience.

Get to know the land and people on the water

The tour was a great experience. There are many different offers from various providers and other boats that overtook us seemed quite loud and their program clocked through. The tour with our guide Amir was very relaxed instead, so we could fully enjoy the scenery. In between there was Nubian live music with two drums to which we danced. Tea was also served. But the most beautiful were the conversations that arose with Amir and the captain. We had quite a few private tours in Egypt before, but this one was the first one where I learned to understand the country. So for me the best tour so far!

Sailing Into Our Dreams

We had a fantastic time on this sunset Felucca ride, learning about the history of this method of transportation, the importance of the Nile River and its seasons, and having a lot of fun with the crew, followed by the perfect placement to see the sunset. Ask for Mina when you book - he’s absolutely top notch and made the excursion very enjoyable, as did the kids piloting the boat. We couldn’t have asked for a better time or provider. A great way to end our Egypt excursion.

Best Sunset ever!

We had a great time on this private boat - The views we will remember forever, the sunset was incredible from the boat. I even had a dip in the Nile with some locals! - The boat owner & nephews were great company as well. Mina was our guide and he had a lot of knowledge and interesting stories not only about the Nile but Egypt overall. It was truly a wholesome experience.

BOOK THIS TOUR.

BOOK THIS TOUR. 10/10. Fun, friendly, affordable, relaxing, and gorgeous!! We went with Mina, Tamer, Adel, and Ahmed. They fed us snacks and drinks (including a pit stop for Cane Sugar juice on the way back to the hotel), taught us how to steer the boat, taught us about the history of the Nile, played drums that we all sang and danced to, and took many photos for us. We laughed so much and consider them long lost friends :)
