2-Hour Felucca Ride on the River Nile from Cairo - Sunset or Sunrise Options

Drivers prompt and in clean cars

The driver was waiting for me in the designated area with my name on a card held up. Helped me with my heavy lugages. The journey was untroubled and smooth. I was picked up from the hotel on time, and again, it was a smooth journey to the airport.

Good transfer

We used a hotel airport taxi, overall it was good, we had trouble meeting, but it was solved, thank you very much………………..

Disappointing tour. Waste of money.

Don’t waste your money on this. It doesn’t do anything in the title. The 2 hours included the travel to and from the dock and the boat ride itself was only about 20 minutes to the middle of the river and back. One small cup of tea between three of us, no water offered as described. Didn’t even see the sunset as it was so quick we were back before it even started setting. Very disappointing.

Perfect experience

Nice people, very supportive and good hosts. They kept us informed about the service and how to find them at the airport. It was a very confortable trip!

Good ride to the airport!

The ride to the airport was good en safe. The communication was clear and came on time. The driver was nice and polite. He came with a little van.

Pls do not book them

Collected us perfectly on time with 6 people from sharm el sheikh airport. Going back from hotel to sharm el sheikh airport they refused to collect us because they said they had a smaller vehicle. I had to get a bigger taxi from hotel and paid extra. Pls don’t book them u might be dissatisfied and you might be left alone at hotel and probably missing your flight. When I arrived back to UK I lodged a complaint and requested a full refund of them.

5* service

Amazing service and all drivers I got as I used them for all my travel whilst in Sharm where all happy and friendly, 5* service and couldn’t get cheaper anywhere else.

Sharm

on time, fast and reliable friendly service convenient and comfortable vehicles I will use again on my next trip Thank you

Nice trip with Hany Muhammed. He came to the reception and found us before the trip. The taxi was big enough and clean. Perfect

Very organized!

It was a very well organized pick up with an affordable price and honest driver. You don’t need to worry about overpriced taxis. I strongly recommend!

Not a great experience

Pick up and drop off from the hotel went fine. Was expecting a different experience. There was no wind not to the fault of the operator, so we took a motorized boat which was not running smoothly and had strong fumes. Would not recommend.

Bad experience

None, we were driven around for 45 minutes and then told there was no boat. Still waiting for our refund.

Fun relaxing time on the Nile

We had the opportunity to take a boat on the Nile. The sailboat (called felouka) started in front of the four seasons hotel. It was relaxing, enjoyable, and a cool breeze over the Nike river made it quite pleasant. The sites of Cairo, the bridges, the greenery were absolutely fascinating. Highly recommended.

Must-do in Cairo

Had a lovely experience. They picked us up from our hotel and took us directly to the dock. If you have any questions or hesitation, simply whatsapp the number provided on the experience description— the folks on the team are extremely kind and responsive. We interacted with Kareem (answered on whatsapp) and Mostafa (driver), both great. Mostafa was our driver and he accompanied us on the felucca and took our photos. I would recommend this experience as a must-do if you’re in Cairo!

Jewel of the Nile

I booked it last minute on the day, Christine Gale Q from Viator was most helpful in finding something suitable for my family. Local tour group called me after waiting around for a bit but it was well worth it. The boat driver (controller) was amazing also took some wonderful scenic pics of my family. Hotel Pick Up and Drop off is a huge time saver once you get that sorted. River Nile cruise 8.5 out of 10 I am being realistic. Well worth it. Would be nice to have snacks on the boat but luckily we took our own.

Lack of Communication & Do not Use

Unfortunately, this business was paid first for services that were not rendered. Poor communication.

Embarrassing experience.

Hi TripAdvisor team, I’m Luca and I booked a morning cruise Nile tour of 2 hours on a Farucca for the 29/05/2022, for me and 3 other friends. All Italians. We are very sad to say that but the experience was really awful, terrible and embarrassing. I have never felt in this way in all my life. And I can tell you, if I’m writing this review this really means I was angry all the way and still I am. First of all, we booked a morning (4 am sunrise cruise) and we were informed just the afternoon before that due to a political visit (the prime minister, by the way, was it true???? I don’t think so) the morning cruise was not possible, but only at sunset (we couldn’t due to the fact that we have the return plane to Italy at 5pm) or at 7am. We decided to go for the second option, the 7am cruise, what a disaster it was! Let’s say just some points: 1. The driver that should have brought us to the Farucca arrived late at the pick up place (our hotel) hence we began the tour 30 minutes late. 2. At the site, we had to choose the motor boat and not the Farucca because there was no wind. The motor of the motorboat.. really safe, what a smell, we are in 2022 not in 1922 how old was it? I couldn’t breathe for most of the “tour”. 3. The driver of the car and the driver of the boat could NOT speak English, we had to “speak” through Google translate. Can you imagine it? Just to ask the simplest question. 4. The boat was the dirtiest place on earth (no exaggeration) probably the last time it was cleaned was when it was made. What to add? There was a person sleeping on it, pillows and sheets should have been white… were grey, REALLY! Some trash/ garbage was even on the boat. 5. No guide or at least someone speaking by telling us what we were seeing around the Nile. He was just putting on Arab music randomly at high volume. Embarrassing. Don’t know probably he was training for a dj course. When booking on TripAdvisor it said the guide ITALIAN language as your language, where was the tour???? 6. But let’s keep on talking of the driver of the boat! Why not! He was smoking and smoking and smoking, probably sponsoring some cigarettes company? Don’t know, but what about security while riding? 7. In the end the 2 hours tour was 25% less, just 1 hour and half (I have to tell, lucky us for that, another 30 Minutes, better to die). Please keep In mind that due also to the change of plans of the Farucca ride (ah no motorboat) at sunset 4 am (ah no 7am, ah no 07:30) we had to completely change our plans. For our last day here in Egypt. We were informed too late of this change of plans… By the way where was the prime Minister??? Mhmm yes for sure at 4am the prime minister is riding in the Nile.. For all the above stuff, we are very very disappointed for all the hours spent on this cruise. For the reasons just mentioned, we ask kindly to receive a Full/ Partial REFUND of what was spent 135 EUR, can you believe it, 135 euro?. In general, I do not think that the cruise on the Nile is worth it. Do not do it, the water is dirty and polluted, air too polluted, too much smog all around… and the smell, this I cannot describe enough, I’m not a writer like Tolkien. Nothing worth seeing except for old buildings and old cars (when you were lucky enough to recognise them through the smog). Consider that we were the only boat in the Nile at El Cairo in all this time. Please let me know so that we can decide how to move on with this reclaim. Really sad to write this review but we are really too much disappointed & angry. & PLEASE do not sponsor this kind of cruise on trip advisor with beautiful pictures of the Nile in El Cairo, it’s a false narrative. NO WORDS, Luca

Not thrust worthy

Driver never show up and while there is an option of putting an adress that is not on the list , they do not pick you up if at any adress not in the rolling down menu. We agreed on meeting in front of the hotel and we stayed waiting for our driver to show up. We called three times our contact who would tell us in 10 minutes the driver will be show . Never happened. After waiting for half an hour we cancelled the trip

Very disappointed

So we booked on the day all good. We get contacted before the scheduled pick up to say it would be a motor boat and not felucca due to inclement weather. OK better than nothing let’s go. Pick up ok, transfer to the boat ok. Boat ride rubbish. We went upstream approximately 2km. The disinterested captain point out five things. The two Four Seasons hotels, a fountain, the house of a former President and the direction of Giza. He also requested some generous baksheesh was in order. 40 minutes later we are finished and returned to our hotel without issue. We watched the sunset with numerous feluccas bobbing about from our hotel balcony….don’t waste your time and money people

We booked a two hours...

We booked a two hours boots trip on the nile. They finished the boot trip after 1 hour 20 minutes, because the captain have to eat. The boot was just passing near the port. For us it was not a good feeling.

Totally NOT recommended.

Very disappointed. We arrived at the port and while we were waiting for the felucca they called us and apologized that the felucca will be delayed 30 minutes. We were happy to wait but the felucca never came at the end. We missed 2 hours of our time. We decided to take another boat finally and we asked for a refund. After 2 weeks I was never refunded. So please think twice if your wanna book this tour. So pathetic.

Awesome!

We had an amazing time! Incredible views of the city <3 very peaceful and awesome during the sunset.

Nice views but not as expected

Cool to see Cairo from a different perspective. We booked a sunset trip and it went from just after 3 to just before 5, so no sunset and not the two hours (3-5pm included transfers to and from our hotel- we were on the water for about 45 minutes). This suited us in the end as we had our one year old with us, but it wasn’t what we were expecting. Our Captain was lovely and engaged with both my husband and myself as well as our daughter.

Great experience.

Very nicely arranged and executed. Perfect relaxing sail on the Nile. The sunset time was the perfect Tim etc go.

nice trip but service need to be improved

the Felucca ride is a nice break from Cairo's renowned crowded and noisy streets. The sunset on the Nile always offer beautiful colors and inspiring sceneries. However, the organisation was not very efficient. The pick up from the hotel was perfectly in time but arrived at the dock we had to wait 1 hour before sailing, losing the best moment of the sunset. The ride lasted less than two hours.
