Highly recommended - I spent 2 days and 2 nights on a felucca trip from Aswan to Kom Ombo, and would highly recommend JJ Jamaica, to anyone looking to do the same. From the outset, they were always quick to respond to email queries and questions and were very accommodating. The crew were also fantastic and highly hospitable, cooking tasty meals as we meandered our way down the Nile. This is a perfect trip to unwind for a couple of days after the hustle and bustle of the city and tourist sites. Good idea to bring binoculars for all the bird life too. They also organized taxi transfer to Luxor via Edfu and Esna Temples.

Great experience - Great experience with Ahmed and Waleed.We spent 2 days and 2 nights on board sailing quietly in the wind. Ahmed and Waleed were in our care, Waleed is an outstanding captain, of absolute tranquility. Ahmed knows everything and cares about our expectations. He's also an excellent cook! We all 4 (couple with teens 15 and 17 years old) loved spending these 2 days on board with them.

Amazing Felucca ride on the Nile - We had an amazing time in the sunset Felluca ride on the Nile with JJ Jamaica Felucca in Aswan. It was a two hour ride. We were four of us and had the entire boat for us. They served us tea, coffee and cakes and were very friendly with us. Absolutely wonderful experience. We also booked the motor boat for our tour to the Nubian Village on our 3rd day in Aswan. We highly recommend JJ Jamaica Felucca. Cheers!!!

Unforgetable experience - The felucca was such a great experience. We had the best captain, Tarek, and the best cook, Sulinam. The trip was very relaxing and the food was incredible. We slep with mosquito nets and cozy blanquets, so even in february was nice.

A mandatory experience when visiting Egypt. - We have been in Egypt for a week and this has been, so far, our favorite experience. While we know many other tourists choose cruises, the felucca offers a real, tangible taste of the Nubian lifestyle. It mixes adventure, sunsets and surprisingly, incredible food. Tarik and Suliman have been incredible hosts, always on top of details and making sure we were taken care of. We would repeat 100%!

Best Time on the Nile with Waleed and Ahmad - We had the most amazing 3-night, 4-day trip up the Nile on a felucca with Waleed as our captain and Ahmad as our cook. It was such a chilled-out experience, made even better by sharing the boat with a lovely couple from the Netherlands. The food? Absolutely incredible. Ahmad somehow whipped up a huge variety of delicious dishes in the tiniest cooking space it was honestly mind-blowing. We spent our days reading, eating, chatting, and even learning some Arabic. By the end, the four of us were wishing we could keep sailing all the way to Esna and Edfu. The only slight downside was the mosquitoes on the last night, they got us good! Turns out they have mosquito nets available, so definitely ask for them ahead of time or bring your own to cover your face while sleeping. Otherwise, we were super cozy, even in winter, with plenty of blankets and endless hot drinks thanks to Ahmad. This trip was hands down the highlight of our time in Egypt. Waleed and Ahmad made it unforgettable, and we can’t thank them enough. If you’re considering a felucca ride, do it with these two, you won’t regret it! Shokran Podadez & Tomadem
