Luxor Sunset Felucca — Luxor: Private Sunset Felucca Sailing on the Nile Main View
Luxor Sunset Felucca in Egypt — Authentic Tour Experience

Embark on a 2-hour sail along the majestic Nile. Before the sailing starts, enjoy a hotel pickup about 15 minutes earlier in a comfy, air-conditioned vehicle driven by the company representative and the driver, taking you to the felucca dock to begin your adventure. From there, enjoy a 2-hour cruise, taking in the tranquil scenery as the sun sets, casting a warm glow over the surroundings, weather permitting. Feel the gentle breeze as you sail, savoring a refreshing cup of tea, along with water provided to ensure your comfort throughout the experience. Watch the Nile glow at sunset as the sky shifts into warm golden tones, the colors dancing across the water and creating unforgettable, magical reflections. At the end of your cruise, we’ll head back to the Felucca dock for a safe, comfortable ride back to your hotel. Important note: In case there’s insufficient wind for the felucca to sail, it will be towed by a motorboat.
