Overview
Take a break from exploring temples and tombs to experience the tranquility of the river that gave life to ancient Egypt. Our Private Felucca Ride in Luxor offers a peaceful, wind-powered sail along the majestic Nile. A felucca is a traditional wooden sailing boat that has been used on the Nile since antiquity.

Detailed Itinerary
Pickup & Transfer to the Dock (Stop 1)
Your representative will pick you up from your accommodation in Luxor and transfer you to the Nile riverside where your private felucca and local captain are waiting.
The Felucca Sail (Approx. 2 Hours) (Stop 2)
Step aboard the comfortable, cushioned deck of the felucca. As the captain unfurls the large triangular canvas sail, the boat will quietly catch the wind. Glide peacefully along the water, far removed from the noise of the city. Watch local farmers tending to their fields along the banks, see water buffalo cooling off in the river, and admire the timeless Egyptian landscape. (Note: The felucca relies entirely on the wind; if there is no wind, a motorboat will be provided to tow the felucca so you still enjoy the experience).
Return and Drop-off (Stop 3)
After a deeply relaxing sail, return to the dock where your driver will be waiting to take you back to your hotel or cruise ship.
