What to expect
Enjoy a relaxing evening journey aboard a traditional felucca boat, sailing the ancient waters of the Nile towards Luxor. Sit back and take in the city skyline magically lit up and enjoy the local snacks and refreshments onboard. Rabbi, one of our local guides, says, ‘You’ll get a true taste for Egypt on a felucca and Luxor – one of Egypt’s has a different soul during the golden hour, it’s as if the spirits of the pharaohs come alive’.After pick-up from your hotel, you’ll get ready to step aboard the traditional wooden felucca. As you glide along the Nile’s rippling water, your guide will bring the horizon to life. Rabbi says, ‘Luxor is often called the world’s greatest open-air museum. It boasts many archaeological treasures as well as burial sites of famous pharaohs Tutankhamun and Ramses II.’ As you listen, savour the taste of delicious bananas cultivated in Luxor’s fertile soil, with snacks and a bottle of water. Your serene cruise treats you to a stop at the Luxor Temple, one of the best-preserved monuments in the world. You’ll get to disembark here and walk up to the temple to admire its massive columns, statues and intricate carvings illuminated magically at night. It’s a photographer’s dream. Rabbi says, ‘See the one obelisk at the entrance? Its counterpart can be found in Paris’s Place de la Concorde, gifted to King Louis Philippe in 1865.’

The cruise was great… we didn’t go far… but the man that owned the boat was very good and stopped in a perfect location for us to take lovely photos as the sun went down, pointing out wildlife etc as we went. It was very tranquil and a lovely end to our trip. Our only criticism was our tour guide who was very knowledgeable but very softly spoken and so difficult to hear and understand… and there were only 3 of us - so we weren’t spread out.

The felucca experience was wonderful, made extra special by Abdul's warm hospitality and his lovely children, who were very entertaining! Abdul made us tea and offered snacks. The weather was perfect for sailing, with a flotilla of Feluccas on the river. It was a beautiful sight. Our guide Maria was friendly and knowledgable. Experiencing the Temple in the evening was a special experience, although it was a popular time for visitors.

Considering we were caught be surprise as we were expecting a different excursion we really enjoyed it. Guide was excellent and the Fullacca fellow was lovely mainly because he didn’t try selling us additional souvenirs we do not want

This trip was excellent value. The Felucca trip was excellent and took us along a stretch of shoreline that was teeming with wildlife. The skipper was a lovely, charming man who seemed determined to give us a lovely, serene experience and provided drinks and fruit for the trip. The guide was a lovely knowledgeable local lady who accompanied us throughout the trip. She provided a great guided tour around the Luxor Temple which whilst busy was a fantastic. This was best trip we did all holiday!!!

Poor
De excursie was gepland om 4h te duren , helaas warzn wij na twee uur inclusief reistijd al terug op hotel, alles kon niet snel genoeg gaan. We hebben op de boot geen fruit gekregen zoals vermeld stond en ook zijn we maar een klein half uurtje aan boord geweest, veel zondsondergang was er dus niet aan, ook dit stond vermeld als een uur. Eens aan de tempel werden we snel uitleg toegestoken en kregen maar max een half uurtje om zelf te verkennen, jammer voor zoveel geld. Ik ben enorm teleuegesteld

We had a beautiful sail on the Nile . we would have liked that part to have been longer as it was lovely. Salma was our guide. She was very friendly and gave a real spark to the tour. It was a lovely visit.

Really enjoyed the sail and the boatman got us in a wonderful spot for the sunset. The tour guide was very comfortable to be with and informative at the temple. Remember to take a small amount of Egyptian cash with you to tip the boatman and guide. We didn’t but did arrange for an envelope with cash to be delivered through our tour guide Anton. Also have money if you need the loo. Our guide had to pay for me.
