Felucca Sails on the Nile

Felucca Sails on the Nile is a traditional Egyptian sailing experience. Feluccas are simple, traditional Egyptian boats that have sailed the mighty Nile since ancient times. The felucca sailing experience is frequently hailed as one of the highlights of a trip to Egypt. The boats are crewed by friendly local sailors and have been adapted to comfortably carry travelers. During a felucca cruise, the itinerary is not rigid and is adapted depending on the conditions and progress downstream. The cruise makes plenty of stops at points of interest and ideal places for swimming. The boat's deck is draped with soft, colorful cushions that serve as a lounging and meal area during the day and a sleeping area at night. The crew prepares included meals, and water, soft drinks, and beer can be purchased aboard. The experience offers a unique perspective on the city of Cairo and the Nile River, with scenic views and a chance to relax under the shade of the canopy or top up your tan in the sun
