Featured review
If you want to just watch the sunset on a felucca, 1 hour ride is necessary and sufficient. Many guided tours in Egypt tend to cut the duration short. But I enjoyed this tour for full 1 hour. Guide Omar was gentle and friendly. He organized appropriate start-time. He and the driver cooperated each other to make my experience unforgettable. It is reasonable and worth experiencing.

I had an amazing Nile cruise with Omar who is an excellent host. There was no wind so we went on a motorboat instead. Omar pinpointed different species of wildlife during the cruise. The visit to the Botanical gardens was lovely. He also offered an extra, free visit to a Nubian village, giving me the opportunity to see a unique, rich culture. It was a real bonus! Many thanks!
Omar was a very engaging and knowledgable tour guide - as a Native Nubian he provided an amazing tour of the Nubian village. I would 100% recommended this tour to anyone, we really enjoyed our trip with him.
It was a wonderful experience, very peaceful and relaxing. the weather was also very nice during sunset.
Very enjoyable sail. Both members of the crew were pleasant and professional. I appreciate that the ride started at the dock by my hotel.
Very calming and pleasant experiences on the Nile river. The tour company is a really good at communicating (the best among the tours we did in Egypt) and he made sure that we were picked up on time and found the right felucca boat. THe wind was not very strong that day, and he gave us an option to do a fast motor boat ride around elephantile island as an alternative. We chose Felucca ride and again it was calm and pleasant experience

This was one of my favourite parts of my tour in Egypt. The staff was very kind, they gave us mint tea and an excellent sail across the nile. Highly recommended.

Great sunset view and you get what they say and what you pay for, there are no surprises! Good price also!
Very easy to communicate with and super helpful. Lovely guide and very capable captain of our authentic boat.
Felt safe & well looked after

Riding the felucca was such a relaxing and great activity. We enjoyed seeing everything from the water and it was so awesome knowing we were on the Nile. Our tour guide was also very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this tour to others.
Safi gave us a lovely quiet congratulations cruise with a nice cup of tea. We really enjoyed it.
When we asked him an idea to eat in the evening, he took us with his motorboat to a fantastic place with great food. He even waited on the spot to take us back to the hotel by boat.
