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 did the private felucca with Abdulla. He was extremely helpful and nice with us. He helped us plan our next day in Luxor and organize rides and visits for us. I recommend the activity and this guide!

A wonderful experience from start to finish. Mahmod picked us up from the hotel and took care of us brilliantly. Brought us water and made us feel very comfortable. Captain Abdoul then took us for a very relaxing cruise up the Nile, providing us with tea and music upon request. A wonderful evening watching the sun set, in a magical location, and being looked after really well by our guides. Thanks for everything!

Mahmoud was very helpful and polite throughout, assisting with luggage storage and transfers after the event and prior to the airport. Would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful trip on a felucca, we were picked up in clean cars by friendly drivers and dropped off at the shore to board the boat. Our captains were absolutely lovely and were chatting to us throughout the boat ride! The boat was very comfortable and the sailing was very smooth! We were also offered delicious hibiscus tea! Would recommend this trip to anyone - it is absolutely breathtaking!

Everything went smoothly—the communication was easy, and the felucca captain was fantastic. The ride itself was enjoyable and well worth the experience. However, the price (€23) is highly overpriced. If you just walk around Aswan, you’ll find the exact same felucca ride for €5, and everyone offers it. Booking online is not recommended—save your money and negotiate in person

Very good time spent with Said and his nephew. A quiet and relaxing walk with Egyptian tea, I recommend.

We did the sunset walk and it was spectacular. The boat was spotless and Captain Abdullah is a top professional; he knows the river perfectly and is very respectful. If you are looking for an authentic and stress-free experience in Luxor, look for it. You won't regret it!
