Felucca Ride on the Nile

Boat tour Cairo, Cairo, Egypt

What to expect

A felucca ride on the Nile in Cairo is a traditional and relaxing experience. Feluccas are the primary transportation of the Nile and have remained largely unchanged over the centuries. They rely on the breeze and the Nile River's current, offering a peaceful journey along the river. The felucca is usually furnished with cushions and a table, where passengers can enjoy a picnic-style meal or snack while taking in the views of the city. This experience is perfect for those seeking a unique and adventurous way to explore Cairo. It's also a great way to enjoy the city's nightlife or warm sun during the day. Felucca rides can be a fun and informal experience for families and friends, and some feluccas even offer longer voyages for the more adventurous travelers
