We booked a felucca ride on the Nile for myself, my husband and children, my parents and our guide. The booking was easy and we found all the communication attentive and clear. The dock where we boarded was a little dark and the felucca itself seemed a little old but it did not take away from the relaxing and memorable experience. It was great value for money and I would recommend it! I hope to do it again one day!

Great experience with our Captain Jamal, loved boat and the sunset
This was actually a fun experience and I enjoyed it. We booked this last minute and we were just looking to kill time on our last day in Cairo. We jumped on a sailboat, but there was no wind, so we were towed out to the middle of the river and we basically sat there for an hour. It was a fun time, but I would not characterize it as sailing. If I did it again, I would’ve picked a boat with the motor.
Very nice view by night, we did the tour by sailing boat and was very quiet. Well the guy did not speak but for us was ok.
Tour price is 3 times the actual price, you can go directly without the need to book through websites. They gave us only 45 mins tour only (not more than an hour as promised) as we already paid online and the driver/guide kept silent and didn't explain anything. You can go to the same tour for a longer time with much less price. The tour itself in nile is very nice, the negative comments are on the service received through this booking
The captain was super nice and chill, we were delayed due to traffic but they were understanding and we still got go to! We went during sunset and it was super worth it!
Enjoy the serenity and calm of Nile river. I took a solo sail boat with no music and I am glad I saved myself from noise pollution. The staff is helpful and friendly. You need to be able bodied to board from this location. Stairs involved. Book direct and get discount. Avoid agents For me it was every penny worth of 13 USD i spent. The sail boat will not cross bridges on both sides. It’s a must have experience when in Cairo.
It was a great experience having the sailing boat going around Nile during Sunset. The captain was so kind and the gentlement Mohamed from Dokdok was very helpful and friendly
We had an amazing experience on the Nile. The views were amazing. Weather was great. Staff were friendly and professional. Family loved it!!
I had a truly delightful experience during the trip with them and would highly recommend it for any one visits Cairo or Giza.
The boat was so nice, the river and its view was so cool. The admin was very active and its customer service was very great. They were very flexible in changing the time upon request.
My experience was perfect, from booking till the end, communication was perfect about how to reach and where to reach, boat ride was very good, it was clear and we as family had great 1 hour at Nile river, with nice city view and natural river feeling the wind, tour was perfect
Amazing ! Would 100% recommend ! Very nice sailor and the instructions were very clear (you will receive a message via WhatsApp with the meeting point). If you don’t want to get scammed, try this.
Lovely hour spent on the Nile. The boat was clean and the service was brilliant. A must do for anyone on vacation. An overall fantastic experience.
Very pleasant, relaxing sail boat trip on the Nile, with good communication from the company so it was clear where to meet (simply head towards riverbank opposite Four Seasons hotel and find the correct name on the sign provided. Great way to watch the sunset
One of the most interesting experiences I might gone through in egypt , sailing along in nile directed by wind with feeling of the ancient spirits. New and perfect point of view and glade to make it with such professionals. Thank you very much 🙏🙏
It was absolutely perfect! The description is exactly what you will enjoy. I did it with my eighth year old daughter and she loved it 😘
I was surprised I was the only passenger in my slot. It was such an easy find and the sailor spoke limited English but enough to have a conversation with. Very kind! Water was smooth and gentle. Loved that it was NOT a motor boat bc it made things tranquil going down the Nile river. Definitely recommend it!
Went with my GF and her daughter. Sailing on the historic river at sundown was a magical experience. The boat is a traditional Egyptian sailboat which is made more special. I highly recommend it.
Great thanks experience. Boat captain was nice and gave us a relaxing ride down the Nile. Views were perfect! Would definitely recommend.
This trip was wonderful and had very enjoyable views of Cairo. Relaxing and good for a morning or evening float down the Nile
It was a great experience, and thise are the things really count in life! They were really friendly and made sure I was comfortabele and enjoyed myself. A must do!
Really great trip.a really traditional boat great owner and perfect sailor with great English and knowledge. Fabulous to find peace of just the sail flapping away from the city noise
It was a great experience, we took the motor boat. Lovely views of Cairo. The organisers were amazing too. Highly recommend.
Really good! Stunning views, easy to get in contact with, the person there ready and waiting for us! Very relaxing and would definitely recommend!!
We had a great peaceful time with a felucca ride. The price was reasonable and the guidance we got beforehand was clear. I recommend this to those who only want a felucca ride without anything else.
Was very good and a nice driver, easy to find aswell. They took loads of photos of us which was nice
The views from the boat are beautiful and it's such a peaceful ride! The communication in the days leading up to the ride was great! The owner provided clear instructions of who we were supposed to be riding with and where exactly to meet them so that other captains/sailors didn't try to take our business before we could find the correct operator. I would advise that you check the weather and make sure you dress appropriately. It was cloudy and very cool on the day that we went and we were very cold. They provided us with a very warm thick blanket for the duration of our ride which definitely helped but we would have enjoyed it more had we been appropriately dressed for the weather. I would definitely do it again!
It was a great boat ride, the sailor and organiser were both very kind, friendly and very patient too. Lovely idea for evenings, great views. Would definitely recommend
Booking, payment, and ticket delivery were easy. The experience itself was also very nice, with enough time and plenty of things to see in the area. The driver spoke little English, as expected, but that shouldn't be a problem. He shared a few names of well-known or famous buildings and also took a few photos of us. Towards the end, we were less pleased with the behavior that was displayed regarding the topic of "tipping." He was visibly dissatisfied with the amount of the tip given. Overall, however, we would book such a trip again and can also recommend it.
We traveled with a private sailing cruise and had a blast with the family. It was a tranquil and peaceful ride along the Nile. Thank you!
It was a great time for our first night in Cairo after the horn concerts and the madness of the city traffic jams!!! We had brought a bottle of champagne and cupcakes for the aperitif 🥂 . Our “captain” was really on top and his kindness contributed greatly to the success of this timeless moment
A boat for 2 on the Nile.... Perfect... We enjoyed walking on the water.... A little pollution but it's okay
Very smooth organization and arrangement. I took a boat alone, a very quiet hour, flood water, good memories, thank you for arranging. Recommended to everyone. But at 7 p.m. in October, I missed the sunset. You can set it for 6 p.m.
All right, a journey in a falluja of an hour, that is to say take a little walk along the nile approaching the two banks. The kids like me
Nice activity, we don't go very far, but it's an outing to do during a visit to Cairo
Very good experience, although I was late, but immediately arranged for me to sail alone, as I asked, on the Nile, giving me full view of the beautiful Nile at night!
Traumhafter Sunset Moment am Nil! Private Fahrt auf einem Segelboot mit super nettem Segler! Einfach empfehlenswert um dem Stadttrubel kurz zu entkommen & die Skyline View aus dem Wasser zu sehen!😍
