See all 15 photos

Overview

Booking a 'felucca' sailboat ride in Luxor will save you the hassle and time of organizing it on the ground. With this trip, ride a private white-sailed felucca on the River Nile as the sun sets behind the West Bank hills. Soak in the views, and learn about the sights from a guide, and Egyptian tea. Ideal for families and couples, with hotel transfers

What you'll see

  1. Luxor
    2 hours

    Our representative will pick up you to enjoy cruising along the Nile River on a felucca (traditional sailing boat) during a private 2-hour trip from your Luxor hotel. After you are picked up from your hotel, you will be transported to the water in an air-conditioned vehicle. Board the boat and relax on the soft cushions. Then enjoy a cool drink as you gently glide down the river. Look around you for scenes that have not changed in millennia. See the children playing in the water, observe the camels, and watch the farmers going about their work in the same ways they have done for centuries, and admire the water buffalo and a wide variety of birds and wildlife. Then watch as the sun sets slowly over the West Bank.

Felucca Ride

Everything was perfect all the way from the driver Mahmoud to the Felucca Captain (Jack Sparrow).

Excellent!

It was a great experience thanks to our driver and our captain! Mahmoud is a very kind and professional driver. We had a good time on the boat in the company of Johnny Depp, who took great care of us. We recommend them 100%! 🌼

Would recommend this booking

Awesome experience. Pick up was on time. Quick one hour tour because we had a flight to catch. Mohammed was an excellent boat driver for being young and got us to banana island where we saw wildlife and ate bananas. Great experience.
