Great relaxed and personal experience, would highly recommend! - We just came back from a Sunset Felucca ride with Tamer and his crew and would highly recommend it to everyone. Booking directly with the boat owner/captain and not via an intermediary makes for a much more personal experience which we really enjoyed. After booking, Tamer was super responsive and answered all the questions we had. You can also ask him about Luxor and other activities as well. He picked us up at our cruise ship and even showed up a bit earlier than agreed upon (we're Swiss, so naturally appreciated ;)). The whole trip was very relaxed and we did not feel rushed in any way at all. The felucca ride itself was beautiful and the snacks and drinks provided on board were delicious - best hibiscus tea and coffee we had in Egypt! Tamer was super friendly, pointed out many landmarks/animals and was very happy to answer any questions we had about Luxor or the Nile. You'll even have the opportunity to play your own music via a speaker on board, if you want. I would recommend a sunset felucca ride as an experience anyway, but Tamer and his crew really made it special. Especially the little dance party and the live music at the end of the ride was super fun and gave the whole trip a special touch. If you want a relaxing activity and to experience the Nile from a different perspective, a felucca ride with Tamer is your best bet. We really enjoyed spending our last evening in Luxor in this way!

Nile River Sailing - We had the best time on our Nile River sailing trip in Luxor! We went close to sunset and the laid out a wonderful spread of snacks and served a variety of drinks. It was beautiful and relaxing. They let us play our own music but towards the end of the ride, they played music for us and danced with our two daughters. This was such a memorable night for us!

A lovely way to spend a Luxor afternoon. - We were looking for a simple/quiet afternoon sale on the Nile and I fortunately happened to choose Captain Tamer among the many potential Nile cruise options available in Luxor. I’m glad I did. My mother and I spent a delightful afternoon on a very authentic wooden felucca crewed by two charming young seamen who helped Tamer guide us down the Nile for a one-hour beautiful sail. We were treated to herbal tea, snacks, and even an impromptu musical performance by the young crew. A perfect Luxor afternoon if you’re done with visiting all the must-see temples and tombs.

Private Felluca ride with Tamer - Tamer gave us a real Egyptian experience on his Felluca. The one hour trip on the Nile was extraordinary. He introduced us to young helpers, who managed the sail and made coffee and tea for us. The snacks were great. The music and dancing will always be a memory. Highly recommended.

Amazing boat tour on the Nile with Tammer - We had an amazing boat tour on the Nile with Tammer and his wonderful team! They were incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Tammer shared insightful explanations throughout the trip and guided us around a fascinating island, introducing us to its animals and local culture. The atmosphere created by Tammer and his team was unforgettable. Truly the best experience—highly recommended!
