Relaxing felucca ride in Cairo
This was a relaxing Nile cruise on a felucca and a refreshing escape from the busy, crowded streets of Cairo. My guide, Ahmed, was polite and patient, and the captain of the boat was friendly and likable, even with the language barrier. All in all, it was a safe and enjoyable trip. Definitely money well spent, especially compared to prices back home. I went by myself, so having Ahmed and the captain looking out for me made me feel safe and comfortable. Overall, a great way to spend an afternoon in Cairo.
Great food and a fantastic show!
We booked a Nile Dinner Cruise and truly enjoyed the entire evening. From the food to the entertainment, everything was satisfying. Being picked up from our hotel made things so much easier. The buffet dinner included both local food and international options. Overall, food was abundant and delicious, with soup, a wide variety of salads, various main dishes, and desserts. The weather was perfect, and the sail along the Nile was peaceful. The entertainment was the highlight, especially the Tanoura dance performance. This is a don’t-miss experience - absolutely worth your money.
Awesome Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor
We had a great 4-day trip from Aswan to Luxor. The boat was comfortable, the cabins nice, and the food kept coming, always tasty. Each day was full of new sights to see, from the Valley of the Kings to Hatshepsut’s temple. My wife and I loved watching the sunset over the river, as we cruised past desert hills and quiet villages. The staff and guide were friendly and helpful. If you want a relaxed way to see Egypt’s ancient side, this cruise is a winner.

A scarf is also handy, as it helps with sun protection, shields against dust, and shows respect at conservative sites. Carry some cash for souvenirs at the local markets.
