Sunset at a felucca - We were waiting for the boat for almost an hour and they were not able to go straight, the boat seemed drunk going from one side of the margin to the other.
Other that that, they were super comprehensive to change the pickup point and the time of the trip. We have done it at sunset and was one of the best experiences in Egypt!
