Cool felucca experience
It was very funny and fun! They took us to the middle of the Nile, and we watched the sunset there. The crew were very memorable!

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.

Best was to experience Nile with one of the most kind people we came across.
Beautiful, calm and idyllic ride. Best way to experience the Nile! Gorgeous sunset. Great way to wind down after a day full of walking. As was mentioned in the listing, due to the lack of wind that evening, we were towed by a boat. But that did not change the experience one bit. Sabri and his team were very good. They did not pay any loud music as we wanted a very calm ride. They offered us tea. Sabri shared stories about his family. Wonderful how the message comes across despite there heavy language barrier. What sets my experience apart was how they treated my son. They made him the captain of the boat and let him have a go at the rudder. My son dozed off in the gentle rocking of the felucca. After that the team spoke quietly not to wake him up. That was so kind of them. There was a young man on that team, who carried my sleeping son on his shoulders like his own baby brother, while we got off the boat. To that young man - you are a wonderful human being. Thank you! All in all, wonderful evening to remember.

Felucca & Banana Island
Highly recommend taking this felucca ride. We got picked up by our driver from our hotel to where our felucca was parked. Aladdin & his brother (Johnny Depp) was our tour guide. They were very knowledgeable & very friendly. They also took us to banana island so we can make it back in time for the sunset & we also had some free drinks & tea so the fare you pay is so it’s so worth it.

Wonderful Felucca Experience
We had a wonderful experience on the Johnny Depp: Black Pearl Felucca Ride in Luxor. The ride itself was peaceful and scenic, and we were offered hibiscus tea, which was lovely. We enjoyed learning about the Nile and the surrounding history while sailing. The atmosphere was relaxing and gave us a beautiful perspective of Luxor from the water. We especially appreciated Mahmoud, our driver. He was reliable, professional, and so helpful that we ended up using his services for additional transportation during our stay in Luxor. That made everything much easier for us. Overall, a very enjoyable and smooth experience. We would definitely recommend it.-Faith

A must try!
This was a beautiful experience. Captain Sabri and his partner welcomed us kindly on the felucca. They made conversation and kept us company, but also provided us with space and time for ourselves. We were provided with karkare (hibisucs tea) as per the package. We would definitely recommend them to our friends. Nile on a felucca on a pleasant day - a must-do. Please note the Nile waters In Luxor are way more dreamier than in Cairo.

It was an amazing time
Our sunset felucca tour with Mahmoud was truly one of the absolute highlights of our trip. From the very beginning, the experience was seamless and enjoyable. Mahmoud arrived right on time to pick us up from our hotel, greeting us with a warm smile and genuine friendliness that immediately made us feel welcome and at ease. His professionalism stood out right away—he drove carefully and confidently, making the journey to the marina and back comfortable and stress-free. What really made Mahmoud exceptional, though, was his personality. He was engaging, kind, and attentive throughout the entire experience. He took the time to chat with us, answer our questions, and share insights, all while making sure we were completely comfortable. His positive energy set the tone for the evening and made us feel like we were in great hands from start to finish. Once we arrived at the felucca, Captain Ahmad took over and set sail just as the sun began to dip toward the horizon. The sailing was smooth and peaceful, a perfect way to take in the beauty of the sunset. Captain Ahmad’s skill and calm confidence were evident as he guided the boat effortlessly along the water. We spent the evening laughing, enjoying great conversation, and soaking in the incredible views. The combination of Mahmoud’s outstanding hospitality and Captain Ahmad’s excellent sailing skills made the entire tour unforgettable. It wasn’t just a boat ride—it was a memorable, personal experience that felt thoughtfully arranged and genuinely special. From the punctual pickup to the final moments on the water, everything was handled perfectly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we are so grateful to Mahmoud for his friendliness and professionalism, and to Captain Ahmad for his expert sailing. This sunset felucca tour was amazing from start to finish and something we will always remember fondly!

Ask for Captain Johnny Depp
Lovely experience. Nice car with AC waiting right on time to pick us up at the hotel. Good conversation in the best English I heard from a local during this trip. Then, the sailing with captain Johnny Depp (or Jack Sparrow) in his Falucca called “the Black Pearl”. Captain is a lovely guy; we had a very nice conversation with him. No touristic cliches, no fake good vibes; just pure, human conversation, with a well-educated and informed Egyptian, again, in perfect English. We learned a lot. All this while enjoying a smooth and safe ride on the falluca, on a mild warm afternoon, watching the sunset and having tea. The best way to escape the annoying business-as-usual mindset of tour companies. This was a very different experience. One that gave us way more than we expected.
