Great experience. Really peaceful and out of time. We had Captain Tarik who was very attentive and always very involved to have a good time. The food cooked by Souleman was really tasty. Finally, the boat was beautiful and kept really clean. One of the most beautiful experiences of our trip!

We spent one day and one night on the Felucca, sailing down the Nile with the very kind and experienced captains Miloub and Abdul. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Egypt! No noisy motor, just the rhythm of the wind and the Nile. We stopped at a beach to take a dip in the river just when it started to get a bit hot in the afternoon - perfect! The food was delicious as well. We stopped for the night at a very quiet spot and slept like babies under the mosquito nets. Don't hesitate to book this trip, you won't regret it! We also had booked some transfers and a guide to the temple of the kings through the same company. The overall experience was good even though our drivers had two delays for the pickups of 30-60 minutes.

Very nice trip with Yusri who cooked very tasty meals and Shaggy the captain who sailed in such a quiet and professional way! Perfect to unwind and relax! As said before, it is such a treat to sail quietly in a private boat as a family instead of beeing in a huge boat which makes so much noise! The food was delicious and we could eat everything without getting sick. Also the small bathroom was kept very clean during our trip. We were lucky with quite a lot of wind. It seems, that with a lot of wind, the boat sails back to almost Aswan which was a surprise to us but fine. Sometimes a bit noisy during the night (train, cruize ships, dogs…) especially close to Aswan. Bring along cotton sleeping bags, binoculars and wet towels to clean if you dont want to swim in the Nile.

We booked a 2 day 1 night Felucca Adventure from Aswan to Kom Ombo and loved every part of it! We booked it and opened it for other tourists to join, but in the end we were just with the 2 of us and the crew, and I wouldn't have want it any other way. Our captain Tarek and sailor/chef Suleiman were an amazing duo. Both were friendly, with Captain Tarek being clearly well-experienced, and Suleiman being a great cook! It was a delightful way to have a relaxing Nile experience, without having to choose for a cruise. Reading, writing, watching, swimming and enjoying the lunches, fruit salads and dinner. Lovely. We were very lucky with the wind, so we arrived close to Kom Ombo by the first night, visited the Kom Ombo temple in the morning and then, as proposed by Tarek, sailed back to Aswan to catch our train (the initial plan was to catch it at Kom Ombo, but Aswan worked as well and allowed us to have extra sailing time). An amazing experience that I 100% recommend!

great 3-night trip with 2 amazing boatsmen: Ahmed and Walid. The Feluca is definitely the best way to travel on the Nile, even though the distance done is limited. A real sailing experience. Cooking on the boat was also great. The only small point of criticism is that we were told we would go till Edfu, wind permitting. Yet we learned that we would only go till the stone quarry (Silsilla), and that this is the same for all trips, whatever the and conditions . Silsilla is still 45 km from Edfu, > an hour driving by car. But in any case, this trip was definitely the greatest part of our Egypt holiday

I spent 2 days and 2 nights on a felucca trip from Aswan to Kom Ombo, and would highly recommend JJ Jamaica, to anyone looking to do the same. From the outset, they were always quick to respond to email queries and questions and were very accommodating. The crew were also fantastic and highly hospitable, cooking tasty meals as we meandered our way down the Nile. This is a perfect trip to unwind for a couple of days after the hustle and bustle of the city and tourist sites. Good idea to bring binoculars for all the bird life too. They also organized taxi transfer to Luxor via Edfu and Esna Temples.

Great experience with Ahmed and Waleed.We spent 2 days and 2 nights on board sailing quietly in the wind. Ahmed and Waleed were in our care, Waleed is an outstanding captain, of absolute tranquility. Ahmed knows everything and cares about our expectations. He's also an excellent cook! We all 4 (couple with teens 15 and 17 years old) loved spending these 2 days on board with them.
