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
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.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Mohamed was our guide and he was excellent! Friendly, knowledgeable, and really great with our six-year-old! There was no wind so we didn’t really get to sail, but they made the trip great anyhow. Would recommend!

We had a good time sailing the Nile on this cruise. The sunset views were amazing. Tao see so many fellucas in the river was a sigh too. The person sailing was a nice and knowledgeable guy.

That was so good. They adjusted the pickup time to match the sunset time. He was a very good man in the boat. They told us a lot of things, and it was fun! The driver was also kind enough to drive us back to Karnak Temple instead of the hotel.

Wonderful experience with Mahmood. He picked us up and had arranged everything for us. It was a delightful experience with Captain Ahmed a young gentleman who hosted us. The sunset views with Egyptian Tea was surreal and we had a great time.

It was amazing and surreal experience. Our transfer was very easy and Aladdin was great guide who picked us up and guide through out. Tea served on boat was nice and guys operating the ship put their extra effort as there was no wind and open flap on our request. Overall great experience and we loved it

Great experience! Aladdin and his brother were very nice and made the felucca ride very enjoyable. The cool breeze in the river Nile was fantastic along with the sunset view. The Egyptian black tea they served made the experience more enjoyable!

Our felucca tour on the Nile was amazing. We truly felt as if we were traveling on the Nile in ancient times. The captain was very skilled and experienced, which made the journey smooth and enjoyable. We were offered hibiscus tea on board, which was a lovely touch. Watching the sunset over the Nile was unforgettable. I would highly recommend this experience to everyone.
