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.

We had the BEST time! Mahmoud Sadek was such an amazing driver, he made us feel very welcome and was more than happy to help us with anything! The boat crew was so nice and made the boat ride very fun, I highly recommend this tour!

We were picked up by Mahmood right on time, and he was very nice to get drinks for us for the ride. He left us with Ahmed and Capitan Jack Sparrow for the felouka ride. We didn't have the best luck with the wind, but both of them made ya laugh and had mint tea on the river. We enjoyed talking with them and sharing the most beautiful sunset! Thank you!

We got picked at our hotel by Mahmoud! He was super nice with us, got us something to drink, told us about Luxor and himself! It was great talking to him. Then we got to the felucca! It wasnt a very windy day so the boat didn’t go very far but overall the experience was very nice with an amazing sunset over the nile. It was also great and funny to talk with captain Jack Sparrow and captain Ahmed that also prepared us the best Egyptian Wiskey 🫖

Intimate and engaging sunset felucca ride with great operators. Felt like going on the Nile with a friend rather than going with a company. Loved the localized experience.

Had a great experience with our felucca ride on the Nile! Mahmoud picked us up and was very friendly. He dropped us off with our captain Ahmed. Him and his helper were also very friendly and welcoming. The felucca ride itself was very calm and relaxing, definitely worth it and I would recommend it to everyone visiting Luxor.
