Felucca Sailing trip on the Nile in Cairo

1.Felucca Sailing trip on the Nile in Cairo

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 142 reviews · from $10Top of the fleet

Spend about two hours traveling from your Cairo hotel to the Nile for a one-hour felucca ride. You’ll sail in a traditional wooden boat with a local guide, bottled water, soft drinks, and snacks. Guides such as Fero, Ahmed, Mostafa, and Osama have helped make the trip personal, though low bridges can limit the sailing route.

“Fero was a great tour guide. He met us in the lobby of our hotel and provided information as we were riding to the pier. He explained the felucca ride and the route. He was on the ride with us an made if fun and entertaining. I enjoyed having him as a guide.”

Spend about two hours traveling from your Cairo or Giza hotel to the Nile, then sail for roughly one hour on a traditional felucca near sunset. Your private group gets transfers, bottled water, snacks, and a local guide. Ask ahead about the boat, since some departures use a motorboat instead of a sailing felucca.
