Felucca on the Nile

One of the most pleasant things to do on a warm day is to go out on a Felucca, Egypt’s ancient broad-sailboat. Discover the River Nile as you soak in the beautiful city lights of Cairo, Luxor or Aswan aboard a felucca. Feluccas have been used for millennia to move up and down The Nile, but they are also ideal for a relaxing evening cruise to escape the bustle of the City in Cairo, while in Aswan it’s the best way to explore the best places on the River Nile.

It is especially popular among guests who can enjoy a quieter and calmer mood than the motorboats have to offer.

Egyptians and foreigners alike enjoy a relaxing Felucca ride, as they are perfect for catching the breeze on a hot summer night, for brisker sails the rest of the year and enjoying the sceneries on The Nile sides, the huge rocks of Luxor, or Aswan, and the calm Nile water.

The view is spectacular, especially at the hour before the sunset. Also, there is another option to take two hours ride and have a meal while sailing the Nile River. Aswan is the best place for having a Felucca ride for sites, relaxation or Lunch aboard is in any city
