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.

Amazing sunset sail!

The two pilots were outstanding! And the driver who picked us up! Mosaad, Mahmoud and Aladdin were all fantastic. It was a great way to spend the evening!

10/10 would recommend if you’re staying in Luxor

Mahmoud was on time and drove us safely from the hotel and back. The boat ride in the Nile was amazing especially during sunset. Special thanks to Captain Johnny Depp and his other crew member Ahmed for accommodating us.

Amazing Sunset Felucca Ride with Captain Mahmoud Ali

Our (last-minute scheduled) sunset felucca ride with Captain Mahmoud Ali was absolutely wonderful and ended up being a highlight of our time in Luxor. We enjoyed stunning views of the Nile as the sun set over the west bank. Captain Mahmoud Ali was incredibly accommodating and thoughtfully pointed out different sites as we passed, while also giving my partner and me plenty of space to enjoy our time together. He struck the perfect balance between being informative and letting us simply relax and take in the scenery. He also prepared delicious hibiscus tea for us on board and proved to be an excellent photographer! Overall, the experience was peaceful, romantic, and one of our favorite memories from Luxor. I would absolutely recommend it!

An unforgettable evening on the Nile

What a wonderful evening on the Nile. Captain Jack Sparrow was a real gem and together with his mate Ahmed they really gave us one of the best evenings we’ve had in Egypt. A dream come true! Also the pickup went very smoothly and our driver Ahmed made sure we were well taken care of.
