After you are picked up from your hotel, you will be transported to the water in an air-conditioned vehicle. Board the boat and relax on the soft cushions. Then enjoy a cool drink as you gently glide down the river. Look around you for scenes that have not changed in millennia. See the children playing in the water, observe the camels, and watch the farmers going about their work in the same ways they have done for centuries, and admire the water buffalo and a wide variety of birds and wildlife. Then watch as the sun sets slowly over the West Bank.

Amazing time, conversations and experiences. - Was definitely a great 👍🏾 experience. Mahmoud and the sailors were awesome. Definitely a later visit will happen and I will go through the same place as well. I was able to get to know about all of the guys and learn more about the culture as well. The views were spectacular to say the least, and I will definitely be a repeat customer on my next trip back.
If you want to enjoy a time, see the sunset and relax, this is the go to place to explore.

Best experience!!! ☺️ - After pre-booking, we were able to contact them promptly via the What’s app . They are very safe and reliable people who are kind and courteous and quick to respond about the tour and other content.
Also, even after I arrived in Luxor, when I asked questions on the What’s app about ticket changes and problems, they all answered kindly and politely. It was a very safe and enjoyable trip to have people from this tour company.
The Sunset Felkka Ride Tour is so amazing. The view is beautiful and mesmerizing. It was a great experience for us, the captain and our four guides to sit back and talk about the scenery and take lots of photos.
The Egyptian tea the captain made was also very delicious and warm. The people I met in Luxor were all kind, the scenery was beautiful and I wanted to come back. And next time you come back, we would like you to do a hot air balloon tour or sightseeing in Aswan on this tour.
Thank you for a lovely time today.

100% recommended - Today I was lucky enough to take a felucca ride on the Nile with the help of Mahmoud, a very friendly and Pro taxi driver. From the start, it was punctual, welcoming and safe behind the wheel, which made the journey even more special. Highly recommended!

Sunset felucca ride - I booked a felucca ride at sunset time with Mahmoud in Luxor, and I couldn't be happier.
The sunset was more than amazing from the felucca, and beside Mahmoud, there were the main felucca skipper with his young helper. Three amazing men, very kind and respectful.
Mahmoud has been extremely kind to me and my partner, he even took for a typical coffee after the felucca ride.
We met an amazing human kind.
I recommend this one hour trip as it worth it.
Ps. I couldn't add any photo as my internet connection was super slow and couldn't upload the pics, sorry!
Many thanks 🙏🏽
