Overview
Sunset sailing on a felucca in Luxor is a breathtaking experience. Feluccas are traditional wooden sailboats that gracefully glide along the Nile River, providing a unique and tranquil way to witness the stunning sunset over Luxor's ancient landmarks. 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. The gentle swaying of the felucca, the soothing sound of the water, and the majestic scenery create a magical ambiance that captures the essence of Egypt's rich history and natural beauty. It's a serene and romantic way to connect with the past while enjoying the present moment.

So much fun and highly recommend!
Our felucca ride was amazing! Ramses was our private driver during our stay in Luxor. He was excellent! He was very engaging and fun to be around. He took us to a local cafe and we had a great time with him over drinks and hookah. He was also made us a priority in making sure we got where we needed and also that we were having a good experience. Would highly recommend requesting him during your stay!

Excellent Felucca Experience!
We booked our felucca ride the night before due to some unexpected space opening up in our itinerary. Our driver met us right on time in the lobby of our hotel and drove us to the boat, which was tied off just outside of Luxor temple. We had two guides, though I regret to say I don't recall either gentleman's name. They were both incredibly welcoming and they urged us to make ourselves comfortable from the get go. They taught my spouse to operate the rudder and sails and let him steer for over half the trip, which he thoroughly enjoyed. They served us three different cups of tea, all delicious, and offered to stop off anywhere we wanted for optional sightseeing. They never offered for me to drive, but I felt like I could have asked for a turn if I wanted- I was just too busy enjoying being a passenger instead. They offered to take our picture multiple times and seemed well-practiced photographers. We stayed on the Nile until after the sun set and then returned to our driver who was ready and waiting for us yet again. It was a relaxing way to see Luxor from the Nile and one of the coolest experiences during our trip to Egypt- big thanks to everyone who made it possible!

Relaxing Falucca cruise with family. Sunset
After a busy day visiting the city's attractions we went for a falucca cruise. Very relaxing and beautiful to see the sunset. Our guide, Tony, helped us with everything and went out of his way to make it even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for any tour while in Luxor. We used the same company for other tours and all of them were 1A.

Sunset Felucca sailing was AMAZING!
Our guide, Ramses, picked us up at our hotel and was sure to have the ac blaring and he brought us drinks. His English is very good, which I appreciate given I don’t speak Arabic well. He brought us to our felucca and went with us the entire time. I am a sailor with my own 26 foot sloop in Puget Sound, so I was super excited to see how a felucca works. I was able to communicate with the captain through google translate and let him know I am a fellow sailor and the man LET ME SKIPPER HIS FELUCCA!!!! It’s different than my boat, but I was able to do it. You keep the sail live and operate the tiller with your back. Captain had a son who made us tea and also does a perfect clove hitch (we cheered!). The sunset was absolutely gorgeous. The boat was beautiful (Queen Jane was our felucca). There was no motor on this boat- they undocked and docked under sail. I was super impressed with their skills and their kindness- just letting some woman they just met skipper their boat! Ramses, our guide, was a great conversationalist. He told us about the area and offered to take us to the temple if we wanted. He also took photos of us and helped translate with the captain. I had the best time. Also- the moon rise over Luxor was gorgeous! I highly recommend this sail and ask for Ramses!!!

Great experience
After some days visiting many historical places across Egypt there was not a better option to end this journey than enjoying a nice and relaxing boat trip in the Nile. The sunset, the sound of the water, the wind, the air everything was amazing during this great moment. Simple but wonderful.
