About this tour
This 9-day Nile Felucca Tour is designed for travelers who want to experience Egypt at a slower, more authentic pace. Unlike large cruise ships, the private felucca allows you to connect with the river in a personal way, drifting past villages, palm groves, and ancient temples with nothing but the wind in your sails.
The journey begins in Cairo, where the pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the treasures of Memphis and Sakkara tell the story of Egypt’s earliest kings. From there, fly to Aswan, a city of temples and markets where Nubian culture thrives. Boarding your felucca, you’ll sail north to Kom Ombo and Edfu, visiting their remarkable temples while enjoying three unforgettable nights under the desert stars.
The tour concludes in Luxor, the world’s greatest open-air museum, where the temples of Karnak and Luxor stand as monuments to divine kingship, and the tombs of the Valley of the Kings whisper the secrets of eternity. With expert guides, handpicked accommodations, and seamless service, this tour offers an authentic Nile experience, a journey through time, tranquility, and timeless beauty.
