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.

100% recommended

Today I was lucky enough to take a felucca ride on the Nile with the help of Mahmoud, a very friendly and Pro taxi driver. From the start, it was punctual, welcoming and safe behind the wheel, which made the journey even more special. Highly recommended!

Sunset felucca ride

I booked a felucca ride at sunset time with Mahmoud in Luxor, and I couldn't be happier. The sunset was more than amazing from the felucca, and beside Mahmoud, there were the main felucca skipper with his young helper. Three amazing men, very kind and respectful. Mahmoud has been extremely kind to me and my partner, he even took for a typical coffee after the felucca ride. We met an amazing human kind. I recommend this one hour trip as it worth it. Ps. I couldn't add any photo as my internet connection was super slow and couldn't upload the pics, sorry! Many thanks 🙏🏽
