Nile Felucca Sailboat Cruise

Feluccas are a traditional Egyptian sailboat that have sailed the Nile for thousands of years. They are simple sailboats with no engines and no onboard washroom facilities.

There is a single deck on which you can stretch out during the day under a shade awning. Each felucca sleeps 6-8 people and is crewed by a Captain and a Deckhand, both of whom have grown up along the banks of the Nile. As well as being experienced sailors, they cook up some of the finest in simple vegetarian cuisine.

You may be served a lunch of Egyptian style bread, white cheese, hummus and tomatoes or a dinner of pasta with fresh vegetables and tomato sauce. The deck is covered with mattresses and cushions where you will sleep side by side across the boat.

Blankets will be provided if you are not traveling with your sleeping bag. Towels and toilet paper are not provided so be sure to pack as if you were camping.
