Habibi and I booked the Felucca tour with lunch. Ahmed, our driver and guide, picked us up at our hotel on time in a nice SUV with AC. He is a very nice and friendly man. Lots of knowledge about many sites and he told us about Egyptian culture. We went to the Harbour and boarded the boat. We were the only people on the boat, which was a surprise. Captain Mohammed was a very good boatsman and did a great job with the felucca. The Nile river tour was very stress free and relaxing. We had lunch on board. I am a fussy eater, but the chicken meal was very good. Desserts were also tasty. Tea and water was provide. A great way to see Cairo and have lunch. I highly recommend this tour.

Lovely experience, calm part of the Nile no traffic noise, very peaceful. Excellent captain Sayeed and guide Ahmed both terrific. The felucca sail went up after lunch special! Lovely heart shaped roses on table too
Awesome experience with Ahmed and Captain Saeed! 5 stars! Ahmed thank you so much we had amazing time
Dealing with Adam online in the booking enabled an easy booking for 8 of us. Our guide arrived half an hour early for the pick-up and waited until we were ready. A minibus was provided for transport both ways. We had the felucca to ourselves. The pre-ordered meals were brought on board as we arrived and there was juice and soft drinks/water provided. The cruise itself was relaxed, enjoyable and informative. We tacked this on the end of a tour to fill in time before an evening flight and it was better than many of the organised events on the tour!
Ahmed was exceptional.. We had time of our life. Mostly will remember forever. What a beautiful person he is. From picking up from office, the experience, welcome, interaction, food and pictures. He just made our Egypt tour so much special! Ahmed he will have a special place in our life. Anyone reading this, your tour to Egypt is unfinished without Ahmed.
The felucca ride was beautiful, and the meal was a true culinary treat. We also asked for a birthday cake, and it was delicious! Top-notch organization and services! Thank you for everything!
Ahmed and captain saeed were both excellent hosts on this Nile river felucca ride. Highly recommend!
A wonderful romantic felucca experience on the Nile! Ahmed and his partner were superb, wonderful, professional, and very fun. The ride was peaceful and magestic. The sunset views were stunning! Highly recommended for anyone visiting Egypt!!
Ahmed was the best - we learned so much about Egypt and Cairo. Food was fantastic. Great value. Highly recommend!!!
Lovely private boat trip with an amazing guide named Ahmed , really good communication with pickup and drop off , food served well with desserts and hot drinks after which was great. Ahmed was informative and really looked after our family on this trip, definitely recommend!
Ahmed was AMAZING!! Fun music in his nice car, easy going and great!!! Captain Saeed was a great captain too! The food delicious, and overall just a perfect day!! Shukran for a great time! 10/10 recommend! 🙏🏾🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬
Great experience. Went with my teenage son. Ride was very peaceful and relaxing. Food was good as was the hospitality. Well organized. They contacted at time of booking for food orders and Ayman reached out with pickup information. Would recommend.
The felucca tour was excellent from pickup to drop-off. Ahmed was a great guide &even better photographer! Food was also delicious.
An absolutely unforgettable experience on the Nile! The luxury felucca was beautiful, comfortable, and peaceful, with breathtaking views of the Nile. Watching the sunset and enjoying the gentle breeze made the whole experience truly magical. A special thank you to Ahmed, the best guide! He was incredibly friendly, professional, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. His hospitality and knowledge made the experience even more special. If you’re looking for a relaxing and luxurious way to enjoy the Nile, I highly recommend this experience. Ask for Ahmed—you won’t regret it! 🇪🇬❤️
It was really great and relaxing experience, thanks to our guide Ahmad!
Experience was wonderful! The setting, the food, and photos! Everything was so perfect. . Ahmad was amazing. Thank you!
Was an awesome experience start to finish. Ahmed took very good care of me and my wife starting with a warm friendly introduction, a very thoughtful romantic gesture for my wife and taking multiple sunset pictures and talking about what we were seeing on the river banks. Captain Saed is a real pro and makes navigating the Niles effortless. The sunset was stunning. Highly recommend. Ahmed even took me and my wife clothes shopping on our way back as we needed something to go to the pyramids the next day, they are real professionals.
We booked a private Nile River boat trip with Ahmed and Captain Saidd on 4th October, and went with my mum. We had a great experience from start to finish. Ahmed was very informative and friendly, and it was a lovely way to see Cairo from the river and take in the sights at a more relaxed pace. We really enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cairo!
Ahmad and Abu Ahmad are AMAZING people for this tour. The view is incredible and the Service is wonderful
The pickup was prearranged with pictures of the vehicle. Ahmed was fully engaged with us through the ride and cruising down the Nile. He was very informative about every day life, culture and any questions we asked. The captan was quite talented with steering the boat. Awesome experience
Such a wonderful special time! Ahmed picked us up from our hotel (great communication by the way) safely and expertly drove us (not easy in Cairo) to the location to get on the Felucca. The Felucca was so charming, beautifully displayed table and Ahmed and the captain truly wanted us to relax, enjoy, and take in the beauty of the Nile and all that she has to offer. Everything was taken into consideration and Ahmed made sure we got photos to capture it all. I thought the food was great; I had the Moussaka and my husband had the chicken. They took us down the Nile with this beautiful breeze guiding us, along with our expert captain. Ahmed is a very special person, very kind, very thoughtful, very sincere. He was very generous with his time in helping us with a situation and we will always remember him for that! An incredible human being! Book this one! It is a Gem!!!
Our trip on the Nile was amazing, a beautiful experience with our amazing guide Ahmed. He gave us an insightful overview to our surroundings, I can’t recommend this experience and Ahmed enough.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable afternoon on the Nile I booked a private felucca experience with Ahmed during my stay in Cairo, and it became one of the most memorable and meaningful experiences of my entire trip to Egypt. From the moment we met, Ahmed was warm, funny and incredibly enthusiastic about his country. His passion for Egypt and its history is infectious — once he starts talking about Egyptology you can see how much it genuinely means to him. By the end of the afternoon I had apparently also acquired an Egyptian brother! The felucca itself was fantastic. We spent several hours sailing on the Nile with Said, our captain, and Camba, the photographer. There was no feeling of being rushed from one thing to another. We sailed around the island, stopped, talked, ate an enormous Egyptian meal and simply enjoyed being on the river. The food and hospitality were incredibly generous — so generous, in fact, that they had accidentally prepared enough food for two guests even though I was travelling alone! I also booked the photography option and I’m so pleased I did. Camba took 187 photographs during the afternoon, while Ahmed also took around another 50 on my phone. It meant I could actually enjoy the experience rather than spend the whole afternoon looking at the Nile through my phone screen. There was also a very personal reason this particular trip mattered to me. My mum had died exactly three months earlier, and shortly before Ahmed collected me I asked whether there might be somewhere quiet and discreet where I could scatter a small amount of her ashes on the Nile. His response was immediate and incredibly kind. He simply said yes, offered his condolences and told me he would help me. When the time came, the boat was taken to a quiet and private part of the river. The music was stopped and I was given all the time I needed. Nobody made a spectacle of it and nobody rushed me. Ahmed quietly filmed the moment for me on my phone while Camba took photographs, meaning I now have something incredibly precious that I wasn’t expecting to have. Afterwards, Ahmed gave me a hug. It is difficult to explain in a review how much the way they handled those few minutes meant to me. It was done with complete respect and kindness, and it allowed me to include my mum in a journey to Egypt that she had encouraged me to take. The rest of the afternoon was full of laughter, conversation, food and beautiful views of the Nile. On the drive back to my hotel, Ahmed was still enthusiastically talking to me about Egypt and its history. When we arrived I went to shake his hand goodbye, but he wouldn’t have it. He got out of the car because, in his words, he wanted to “say goodbye to you properly”, and gave me another hug. That probably tells you more about Ahmed than anything else I could write. I came to Egypt expecting to see extraordinary places. What I hadn’t expected was how much some of the people I met would become part of the memories themselves. Ahmed, Said and Camba gave me a wonderful afternoon on the Nile. Ahmed helped make it unforgettable. Thank you, brother. ❤️

we did the private tour on he Feluca it was great ride up the Nile to see many points of interest. the food was enjoyable (alot of it) our guide Ahmed was great and very knowledgeable of the trip
Ahmed was friendly, informative, and generous from pick up to drop off. We had a great conversation while cruising the Nile, and he was a wonderful photographer, capturing so many special photos that we will cherish forever. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was relaxing. Would recommend highly to anyone!
Ayman is a nice person. He tries to make experience as good as possible for you. I’d recommend booking during the day though, it’s not as good at night as you can’t see as much.
Ahmed was an amazing guide! The boat dinner was wonderful, with beautiful views and a great atmosphere. He was very professional, kind, and made sure we had an amazing experience. He also took some beautiful pictures for us! I would definitely recommend Ahmed to anyone looking for a great guide.
Fantastic views, wonderful food, genuinely a lovely way to see the sun set in cairo. Very peaceful and serene.
Ahmed was amazing! So attentive to detail & we felt so taken care of. Pick up was a breeze, dinner was delicious, & we had tons of options for drinks. Loved the sunset & the water. They even decorated the boat with flowers &

An absolutely perfect experience! This is a much calmer and more relaxed way to enjoy the Nile on a sail boat with excellent hosts alongside great food!

A morning felucca ride on the Nile was one of the highlights of our trip to Egypt. The peaceful atmosphere, the fresh morning breeze, and the breathtaking views made it an unforgettable experience. A special thanks to our guide, Ahmed, who is truly one of the best guides in Egypt. He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and made us feel welcome from the very beginning. He shared fascinating stories about the Nile and local culture while ensuring we had a relaxing and enjoyable journey. If you’re looking for an authentic Nile experience, I highly recommend taking a morning felucca trip with Ahmed. It was the perfect way to start the day, and I would definitely do it again. Highly recommended!

The sunset and food are fantastic! Ayman was a great guide and took fabulous care of us. The scenery hits city, trees, and everything you'd want.
Ayan, Camba, and Abo Mohamed were so good to me and my wife for her 40th Birthday. They took us on the Felluca down the Nile, and Ayan told us all about the local farmers and fisherman, as well as the history between Cairo and Giza. Camba's photo shooting skills were incredible, the photos were very professional and have given us memories for years to come. Our boat captain Abo Mohamed was very humble and nice, all 3 of these guys have given us an experience we will never forget!
Ahmed was an amazing guide, took great photos we for us and was very energetic to be with. The food was very good too. Overall great experience.
There are no words to describe how amazing this luxury Felucca experience on the Nile was. Ahmad did an incredible job organizing everything, from the dinner to the photographs.
