Geniet van de Machtige Nijl terwijl je op een traditionele Felucca-zeilboot vaart die tot nu toe door de oude Egyptenaren werd gebruikt. De boot is uitgerust met een badkamer en een zonnedek, waardoor het comfortabel is om tussen Aswan en Edfu te reizen. Dans als een Nubiaan terwijl je rond het kampvuur zit. Slaap onder de sterren en zwem in de Nijl. Chat met de lokale bevolking om meer te weten te komen over de Nubische cultuur en tradities. Bezoek het dorp Daraw dat beroemd is om de groentenmarkt en het centrum voor de verkoop van kamelen die uit Soedan zijn meegebracht. De Kamelenmarkt vindt elke zaterdag, zondag en dinsdag plaats. Bezoek de oude bezienswaardigheden langs de Nijl, zoals de Kom Ombo- en Edfu-tempels, en bovendien de unieke zandsteengroeve Gebel El-silsila.

Sejour de 3 jours passés avec Tarik et Suliman en felouque avec un accueil chaleureux, des repas exceptionnels préparé sur place, un vrai partage avec ses personnes. La remontée est fantastique avec des paysages fabuleux, des levés et couchés de soleil sur le toit du bateau, des chants nubiens, à faire sans faute! Merci

We are just back from a month long visit to Egypt which included a trip on a felluca with. JJ Jamaica. Sailing on a felluca is very Zen experience and for us travelling from hectic New York the contrast felt was amazing. Before we boarded, Nori at JJ Jamaica told Tariq was going to be our captain and we had the best captain on the Nile..at the time i thought this was hyperbole..sure he probably tells everyone the same story. In fact Tariq is indeed a very skilled sailor and read the river and the winds very efficiently as he tacked from one river bank to the other. A felluca is not an easy boat to sail and tacking against the wind requires constant maneuvering of the single cumbersome sail. Its wonderful to watch but it requires a lot of skill and strength. Tarik grew up on Elephantine Island and has spent his life navigating the nile. There are many enormous cruise ships on the river and sailing a felluca requires navigating around these boats. Tariq's skill enabled him to maximize his progress while moving around the large ships. He was not intimidated:) I dont know if he is the best captain on the Nile but in my opinion he is very skilled and it was our privilege to be his passengers for three memorable days. Sean.

We asked 2 companies for quotes for a felucca cruise: aswan individual and jj jamaica. while jj jamaica was slightly more expensive we chose it because we felt it would be more comfortable, because the boat had a toilet on board, and because we read the food was good ! We are so glad ! Having a toilet on board is really nice, think about it, you are on a boat all day long and all night long, without the toilet you are dependent on stops for the night, for a tour, or a lunch off the boat, having a toilet on board is more than nice ! and indeed, our captain tariq and his teammate suleiman prepared 3 amazing meals a day for us, all different over the 3 days, delicious, nutritive, amazing ! Cruising on a felucca has pluses and minuses: the plusses are that you are ecological, your are at the same level as the landscape you are contemplating (they are so beautiful!), and watching a captain sail a felucca is fascinating (the sail is 24 meter high, for a boat 11 meter long).; the downside are that it is a bit like camping, you need to be ok with sleeping outside, and not washing in a shower ! The mattress and blankets provided were super comfortable by the way, it was definitely nice camping, but not glamping ! You can decide where to stop. In our case, we stopped for the temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu, but you can also stop at a camel market, or at gebel al silsila. The wind blows north to south so the captain must zig zag down the nile, against the wind, if you are going from aswan to luxor. If you are going north to south, you might go faster, provided there is wind, which is the case most of the time :-) In our case, we did not make it to edfu within the 3 days, but that eventuality had been discussed before (one is dependent on the wind on a felucca) and the fourth day, a car picked us up to drive us to edfu temple, where a guide arranged by jj jamaica was waiting for us, and then , after the visit of the temple, the same driver took us to the edfu train station, helped us get train tickets (which actually did not work, we got tickets on the train later, which is fine) and waited until the train came before leaving. we were really very well taken care off. That's the last thing i want to add. The company is super professional, from the talented and smart captain and his teammate, to the care given to the boat, which is super clean and attractive, to the interactions as we were designing the trip

Je recommande fortement la croisière sur le Nile depuis Aswan, pour plusieurs jours de détente, de calme absolu, de paix et de beauté pour les yeux. J’ai effectué ce trip seule, avec comme capitaines Tarek et Souleiman. Deux personnes très gentilles et attentionnées, avec une cuisine délicieuse et généreuse. Les paysages sont magnifiques, et la felouque est un havre de paix pour qui a besoin de se ressourcer. Ces 3 jours étaient magiques.

Captain JJ is THE BEST. I honestly love JJ and his crew. JJ has been doing this for decades and is passionate about customer service, Aswan and Nubian Culture. He invited me into his home to meet his family and also invited me to a Nubian Wedding. He employees only the best local guides to take care of guests during the Felucca Trip. They are attentive, look after your every need, cook amazing food and are a lot of fun. I highly recommend!!

We did the one night overnight felucca tour on the boat named ‘Nile Bright’. It was the highlight of our trip. The views were absolutely amazing, we took so many photographs of the Nile and banks of the Nile. Both of the crew Captain Tarek and Suleiman were very lovely and ran the experience so well 😊 - We really enjoyed their company on the boat. They were excellent cooks and made us lunch, dinner and gave us snacks whilst on the boat. The food was very yummy and there was lots of variety to choose from. They catered to dietary needs. Both of the crew really looked after us throughout the trip. We liked the tea and coffee making facilities on the boat too. The sleeping facilities were very comfy and the crew provided us with blankets and mosquito net. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Egypt as a must do on their trip. Thanks for a great experience guys!

An absolutely amazing experience from start to finish with JJ Felucca. Tarek and Suleiman were brilliant and really looked after us during the trip. The views and peacefulness of the Nile was just what we needed part way through our trip and our only problem was that we didn’t book for longer!! This was the highlight of our trip and I definitely recommend!

Trois jours de croisière en felouque en compagnie de captain Tarek et Soleïman. L'équipage est vraiment très sympathique et aux petits soins pour que tout se passe à merveille ! Et la cuisine est délicieuse, parmi nos meilleurs repas en Egypte, thé et café toujours à disposition. La felouque (Nile Bright) est très propre et avoir des WC est très pratique. C'est un moment hors du temps, loin des klaxons et de tous les bruits de la ville. On croise les pêcheurs, pleins d'oiseaux et les couchers de soleil sont magnifiques. On aurait aimé y rester plus longtemps. On recommande !

My friend and I did a 2 nights/3 days cruise with Tarek and Souleyman and we had an amazing time !! You sail - without engine - and just go along the Nil in a very quiet and peaceful atmosphere Tarek is very kind, funny and made us discover special places. He really pays attention to your needs and adapt the trips according to it which was really nice forme him. He invited us for lunch with his family and we had a great time. I highly recommend!!
