“our guide Mohamed was excellent with knowledge of The Nile. He has got good sense of humor and therefore he is a good company to tour with … Wish him success”
Traditional Nile felucca ride with hotel transfers and an English guide. Great sunrise or sunset views of Cairo from the water.
“We had a wonderful 2 hour cruise this evening. Our driver was right on time and we arrived safely at the marina. Our guide Abeer was excellent. She gave us the option of a felucca or a motorboat which would allow us to see more as the felucca cannot go under the bridges. We choose the motorboat and we saw so much of the river. Abeer told us many things about the Nile, Cairo, and Egypt. She took great pictures of us. The trip and Abeer completely exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this tour to others.”

“Overall the tour was worth it for us, however be aware that there is a lot of waiting around especially for the hot air balloon since we had to leave the hotel by 4.25AM and only took flight around 6:30AM and then returned to hotel only by 9AM. The tour of the temples was great, overall experience was great. We didn't get to do the Felucca ride as I fell sick in the afternoon.”
