Private tour : Sunset Felucca Ride in Luxor
Description
Booking a 'felucca' sailboat ride in Luxor will save you the hassle and time of organizing it on the ground.

Ideal for families and couples, with hotel transfers
Tour Options
Itinerary
Our representative will pick up you to enjoy cruising along the Nile River on a felucca (traditional sailing boat) during a private 2-hour trip from your Luxor hotel. 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.

Punctuality & friendliness! Felucca ride along the Nile in total tranquility with a magnificent sunset! I recommend it even with children!
Merci beaucoup pour ce beau commentaire ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez profité de la tranquillité du Nil et de ce magnifique coucher de soleil en felouque. C'est toujours un plaisir de partager ces moments avec des familles, petits et grands. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau à Louxor ! L'équipe Egypt Lovely Tours
Intimate and engaging sunset felucca ride with great operators. Felt like going on the Nile with a friend rather than going with a company. Loved the localized experience.
Thank you so much for this heartfelt review! 😊 We're so happy to hear your sunset felucca ride felt intimate and engaging, and that our team made you feel like you were sailing the Nile with a friend rather than just a company. That personal, local touch is exactly what we strive for. Thank you for choosing Egypt Lovely Tours — we hope to welcome you back to Luxor again soon! Warm regards, Egypt Lovely Tours Team
Had a great experience with our felucca ride on the Nile! Mahmoud picked us up and was very friendly. He dropped us off with our captain Ahmed. Him and his helper were also very friendly and welcoming. The felucca ride itself was very calm and relaxing, definitely worth it and I would recommend it to everyone visiting Luxor.
Thank you so much for this lovely review! 😊 We're thrilled you enjoyed your felucca ride on the Nile, and it's wonderful to hear that Mahmoud, Captain Ahmed, and his helper made your experience so friendly and welcoming. There's really nothing like a calm, relaxing sail on the Nile, and we're so glad you'd recommend it to others visiting Luxor. Thank you for choosing Egypt Lovely Tours — we hope to welcome you back again soon! Warm regards, Egypt Lovely Tours Team

Our (last-minute scheduled) sunset felucca ride with Captain Mahmoud Ali was absolutely wonderful and ended up being a highlight of our time in Luxor. We enjoyed stunning views of the Nile as the sun set over the west bank. Captain Mahmoud Ali was incredibly accommodating and thoughtfully pointed out different sites as we passed, while also giving my partner and me plenty of space to enjoy our time together. He struck the perfect balance between being informative and letting us simply relax and take in the scenery. He also prepared delicious hibiscus tea for us on board and proved to be an excellent photographer! Overall, the experience was peaceful, romantic, and one of our favorite memories from Luxor. I would absolutely recommend it!
