          Romance on the boat
          I booked this amazing boat trip with my future wife. Theres literally nothing bad to say, big thanks to Mohamed Kasban, who picked us up and was really nice and funny. We got amazing pictures from him. Food was really good, music was exactly how and what we wanted. I would suggest this trip for anyone who wants to see Cairo from Nile. It was so romantic and nice.

          Like a movie scene
          First of all, big thanks to our amazing guide, Mohamed Kansan. He picked us up at our hotel, told us many interesting facts about Egypt and captured this magical evening in a bunch of photos for us. The food they served was delicious, the seating really comfortable and the views absolutely gorgeous. We even danced together on the boat. Unforgettable 🥹

          The best
          Mohamed Kasban was very polite, adjusted to our location and picked us up on time. We are happy to spend this walk with this company, and we advise everyone. We saw beautiful Egypt at sunset, ate delicious food, and Mohamed Kasban took wonderful photos of us. The best place! Private yacht!

          Amazing tour with Mohamed Kasban
          It was an amazing experience. Our guide, Mohamed Kasban, was friendly from the moment he picked us up. Was very knowledgeable when informing us on the culture. Was just overall an experience I wouldn't mind repeating.

          Sailing the Nile in December
          Excellent trip with a very “simpatico” tour guide Mohammed Kasban. He was very entertaining and kind. It was a little cold but we both enjoyed the trip and would happily do it again.

          Egypt-must do!
          My husband and i arent too fond of crowds so we decided to do the private felucca sunset tour on the Nile instead of the Nile dinner cruise. Definitely worth it! Mohamed Kasban was an incredible tour guide! He took the most amazing photos of us and is so knowledgeable about Egyptian history and culture. The views of the Nile were spectacular and the food was amazing. Would do this again in a heartbeat!

          Great choice for a December morning / afternoon
          The private tour was great. Weather was perfect and Mohamed Kasban was a great guide who went above and beyond. He even offered to drop us off at a location further than what was originally planned.

          Peaceful Ride
          Food was good. Energy was positive. Got some good pictures. You go south on the Nile away from the city, which is nice if you are looking for some peace and quiet.

        Whenever we explore a new city we look for unique experiences that give us the opportunity to experience the culture and interact with the locals. This experience did just that! Shortly after booking we received a personal confirmation followed by a request for us to pick our meal of choice from a provided menu. Communication with this operator has been outstanding. We were scheduled for an evening cruise, however the day before the operator contacted me to confirm our booking and also suggested we move up departure by an hour earlier to get the best sunset experience. It was totally our choice and we decided to do the earlier pickup. On the day of the cruise, our guide Mido contacted us to re-confirm our pickup and provided a photo of his vehicle so we could clearly identify him. Mido arrived on time and from our first encounter with him we knew this would be a great evening. On the way to the boat Mido provided commentary of everything we were seeing while still being able to safely get us through Giza and Cairo traffic. Upon arrival at the boat, he used our cameras to take photos of us in their traditionally decorated courtyard before we boarded the boat. The felucca was decorated beautifully and we were introduced to the crew. It was a moderately windy evening that made for wonderful sailing. The traditional food was delicious. Mido made the entire experience about us! Sometimes it’s hard to believe an experience can get so many five star reviews, but no second guessing with this operator. Clearly they are consistently amazing.

        Miko is amazing! He took the best photos, shared the best information about the culture and taught us some words!! The felucca ride in Egypt is an unforgettable experience that beautifully captures the essence of the Nile River and the surrounding landscapes. Miko shared the culture and history and we were so happy to learn!!

        The captain was amazing!!! Guiding us to the perfect locations to get the best views!!

        One of the highlights of the felucca ride is the opportunity to witness breathtaking sunsets over the Nile. The sky transforms into a canvas of oranges, pinks, and purples, making for an incredible photo opportunity.

        Additionally, the felucca ride offers the best chicken kabobs on board.

        Overall, I highly recommend taking a felucca ride for a peaceful and picturesque adventure that allows you to connect with the history and culture of Egypt in a unique way.

        Our sunset felucca ride on the Nile River in Cairo was pure magic. As we drifted along the gentle current, the city's iconic skyline transformed into a breathtaking panorama of shimmering lights. The traditional wooden boat, with its billowing sails, provided an authentic and serene experience.

        Our knowledgeable guide, Anna, shared captivating stories about the Nile's history and significance to Egyptian culture. Anna pointed out landmarks like the Cairo Tower and Zamalek Island, adding fascinating details to enrich our understanding of this ancient city.

        The gentle breeze, the rhythmic lapping of the water, and the mesmerizing views created a truly enchanting atmosphere. It was a perfect escape from the city's hustle and bustle, allowing us to relax and soak in the timeless beauty of the Nile. If you're looking for a unique and memorable way to experience Cairo, I highly recommend a felucca ride with Anna- it's an absolute must-do, guaranteed you will not be disappointed!

        What can I say 10/10.

        Our host Mido was exceptional. He was extremely professional, informative and fun. Took good care of myself and my wife. He contacted us with details of time and pick up, and genuinely seemed to enjoy hosting us.

        The Feluccas presentation was beautifully laid out and everything we requested was perfect. I'd recommend getting the 5pm to 6pm during june, to get that perfect sunset for those instagram lovers. The boat crew where amazing and also took good care of us. The food was delicious and treated us with traditional Egyptian dessert.

        I highly recommend this when you visit Egypt. I also recommend you request Mido, you won't regret it the man was amazing.

        Overall it was a good experience and money well spent, would recommend booking for around sunset. What really made me want to give this tour 5 stars was the driver and guide Mohamed Zahran. After a morning of going to the pyramids and constantly being harassed by those working in the complex, it was nice to have this tour in the evening with Mohamed, who was a genuinely decent guy. He really went above and beyond to make our stay more pleasant, including for a small extra fee taking us to Khan el-Khalili on our request (we were a bit apprehensive about going on our own) where he showed us around for several hours and even treated us to sugarcane juice. So if you book this tour and end up with Mohamed, know that you will be in good hands!

        My wife and I went on this cruise and had an enjoyable time casually dining on the Nile. Our driver and guide Omar picked us up from our hotel promptly at 3pm for our 4pm cruise. The timing for the cruise was great since we got to enjoy the beautiful sunset on the Nile. The food was also a traditional Egyptian meal including desert that was delicious. The crew were all friendly and accommodating. If you want a relaxing time away from the bustle of other parts of Cairo and feel like you’re almost in a different city I would recommend this experience.

        We had only a short stopover and Egypt and we are really happy we spent some of that time on this ride. We did the 4pm in November which I strongly recommend around this time of year—the sun started to set just as we took off, which let us take some beautiful photos along the Nile. Afterwards we relaxed with the views, ate an amazing mixed-grill dinner and desert (with some lovely hot peppers!), and then our captain and crew taught us some great dance moves in the evening! Our guide was Mohamed Kasban who was great—knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and even taught us some Arabic!! Thank you!

        One of the best evenings we spend after a very long time. The trip started with Mido communicating well in advance sharing the time he will meet us, Mido was on time to pick us up and while driving, I enjoyed chatting with Mido as he started to explain things about Cairo. Now onto the felucca experience, we were surprised how organized this tour is, right from the start Mido was helping us to take pictures and special mention to the music and the dinner, the food quality and portions was 10/10, and the experience is 15 out of 10, we would definitely recommend this experience, thanks Mido and his team!

        Definitely recommend this experience for anyone looking to escape the bustle of the city and enjoy some peace and serenity on the Nile. The beautiful sunset, warm breeze, rose petals, mood lighting, and classic Arab music on the boat makes the perfect memorable final activity before flying back to your home country. Food portions are generous, food was alright but more importantly everyone involved was beyond kind and generous. Very prompt and sweet from beginning to end. It reflected the good hearts of the Egyptian people, thank you!

        My wife and I had an unforgettable boat ride on the Nile, made even more special by our guide, Mido. The boat was beautifully decorated with romantic touches, setting the perfect mood for the day. The sunny weather was ideal, enhancing the stunning scenery around us. The music added to the magical ambiance, making it a truly perfect experience. A big thank you to Mido for making this day so memorable—we highly recommend this ride to anyone looking for a blend of romance and beauty on the Nile.
