We left for the Felucca in the afternoon, as sunset has the best light, plus sounds of the prayers of mosques. Its a traditional wooden boat with white sails; they take you for a small ride around the corniche, from where you can see the botanical garden at Kitchener island, Agha Khans tomb, mosque and the Philae temple. You can... More

If you only do one thing in Egypt, get out on a felucca around Aswan! The water was so clean that it was beautiful to see the blue reflections of health, after seeing it in Cairo. We did the overnight stay on the felucca, and after being initially concerned about what this would entail, we didn't want to leave when... More

Part of my tour of Egypt was a felucca tour. I was not very keen to do that. I cant swim, and Im not fond of boats or sailing! Man, it was the best. I felt so safe. It is SO relaxing to just glide along the Nile. The Nubian sailors are fantastic. It is 100% safe, in fact we... More

Do NOT trust or use any trip offered by Magdy Hassan Bashir Eid!! Felucca trip down the Nile is great but we just happened to pick the wrong boat and crew. My girlfriend and I had the name of a person in Aswan who books feluccas for multi-day trips down the Nile. His boat and crew were recommended by fellow... More

On numerous journeys we traveled from Aswan to Kom Ombo by felucca and had a wonderful experience. We also cruised around the islands in front of Aswan. The boat captain is responsible, calm, and very capable in guiding the felucca. He is also very kind and opposite to most other people does not try to rip you off. He invited... More

Captain Aly's "Aswan Felucca Tours' was the most relaxing and enjoyable day my wife and I had in our terrific 3-week trip around Egypt. A boat trip on the Nile is a significant bonus to any journey in the Nile Valley and a great break from the more hectic travel experience on the shores. The typical method is a journey... More
