Really cool experience...

Esther_M, May 2026

Really cool experience with the captain Ahmed and his friend. The tour included hibiscus tea and mint tea. We went before sunset and it was calm and beautiful. The captain even let us sail the falooka which was amazing! Thank you. Highly recommend this tour!

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re very happy you enjoyed the calm sunset ride, the hibiscus and mint tea, and the special experience of sailing the felucca yourself 😊 Captain Ahmed and his friend will be delighted to hear your kind words. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on the Nile!

The ultimate relaxation

YOSHIHIRO_S, Nov 2025

Watching the sunset from a Luxor felucca was an unforgettable experience. The two crew members took excellent care of my husband and me. It was the ultimate relaxation we needed after being exhausted by the Egyptian desert, noise, and heat. Thank you!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you, and I am at your service anytime. It was a pleasure meeting you.🙏🙏

Relaxation and tranquility by the Nile

Valeria_E, Feb 2026

It was a great experience, one of the best lived in Egypt. Hamdy the captain of the faluca treated us great and tried to make the tour memorable, took beautiful photos and generated a climate of confidence. We take a nice memory of this experience, recommended 100%.
