Beautiful Felluca Ride & fantastic host, highly recommend!

Katy_A, Nov 2025

We recently did a Felucca Ride along the Nile which was looked after by Mohamed. The ride itself was wonderful, really relaxing, lovely, spacious and comfortable boat, peaceful and we absolutely made the right decision to do a private trip rather than a shared boat, it was so quiet and lovely. Mohamed was an amazing host and really looked after us, super punctual, organised and he took the most incredible photos for us! He even took us to a local restaurant afterwards and organised everything before leaving and we had the best food which was so reasonably priced, a place we would never have found by ourselves! If you are thinking of doing a Felucca Ride a)it is definitely worth it, B) definitely in a private boat c) ensure you time it to be there at sunset as it's so beautiful and finally 100% booked with Mohamed, he was wonderful!

Beautiful, peaceful views. We really enjoyed our sunset sailing trip. The guide was on time and communicated well. It was also a good value for the money.

Fabulous falucca on the Nile in Aswan

Christine_B, Jan 2023

The Nubian falucca crew was outstanding. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable. All three were very kind. Loved the Nubian music while sailing on the Nile!

Agradable paseo en Faluca por el Nilo. El guía fue estupendo. Con 1 hora de trayecto es más que suficiente.
