Awesome off the beaten boat experience

Kristi_B, Jun 2025

This is my fourth visit to Cairo, and outside of seeing old college friends from thirty years ago this was a highlight. I had taken feluccas and Nile boat tours on prior trips and wanted a different experience. Ten years ago I stayed in a houseboat Air BnB and saw rowers zooming by- I thought wow that looks fun. I plugged in the incorrect location Maadi Sporting Yacht into Uber and it took me to a location two miles away from where I was supposed to be. The company communicated great before and after my excursion- I just goofed. I then entered Nile Dragon Academy into Uber app which is at the Maadi Sporting Club I made it to the correct place. I didn't bother changing clothes because I was 10 minutes late. It is June in Cairo My clothes would dry soon enough- I wore a rash guard and hiking pants. My guide Nuur on his motor boat was awesome. I gave him my waterproof OM and he took some great pictures. He stayed close enough to be in shouting distance but far enough so I could enjoy the serenity of the Nile. It was very chillaxing. Also there was nobody there hitting me up for tips or trying to sell me anything. Just imagine the Khan al Khalili- then flip it to the opposite- that was the experience. I thought I was making great progress paddling up stream. My sense of direction failed me again as the current pulled me down stream. Nuur and his motorboat brought me back. Even though I was late, I still got a good 45 minutes in. Despite my size I didn't tip the kayak or fall into the Nile. I have kayaked in the Pacific near LA with the dolphins and barking sea lions, and chilly Lake Tahoe with the mountains in the background, and this was completely different but still utterly amazing experience. If you have seen the Cairo highlights, or if you are an introvert, or someone looking for a reprieve from the chaos of Cairo- book with this company you won't be disappointed.
