JJ Jamaica Felucca

L’expérience magique, une aventure à vivre une fois dans sa vie. On est au plus proche du Nil, on le ressent, on l’admire nuit et jour. Les repas sont divins et préparés sur place par Moado. Quelle prouesse de cuisiner dans un espace si confiné. On dort sur ces immenses matelas ou l’in fait tout d’ailleurs. Quelques stops pour des visites. À la barre Mohamed toujours de bonne humeur. On s’en rappellera longtemps !

Wonderful and engaged crew, good english so easy to communicate, great food, wonderful experience. We stayed two nights as we had younger kids. Kids loved it. Would have stayed another night if we had gone without kids.

Can't think of anything

Everything as promised. We were met as expected at the Aswan KFC by JJ Jamaica himself. He forgave us being 20mins late. He introduced us to our boat Nile Bright and our captains Tariq and Suliman. It was delightful and cool under the canopy sailing in the breeze. Food was excellent from the outset and my kids who can be a little fussy were all very happy with the food. There was plenty of food and I need not have worried about bottled water supplies of which there was ample. Tariq and Suliman were perfect hosts, ensuring we were happy and Tariq spoke sufficiently good English so we understood everything. They kept the boat spotlessly clean throughout our time. We spent 2 days and 2 nights aboard and it was a great time together as a family. We had the boat to ourselves which was truly awesome and it was lovely to be able to relax together away from our individual busy schedules. It also gave the kids a chance to get over temple fatigue! If you want a relaxing gentle holiday experience this will be for you and ask for Tariq and Suliman to be your captains!

We were following a schedule and I think because we made good time with a good wind, we stopped for a few hours on the first day. It was less cool by the shore and not as pleasant as being on the water. We were also intending to leave the boat to take a car to Edfu, and I had naively thought that after seeing Kom Ombo we would continue north, but in fact we then started going south again to pick up the Taxi in Daraw. This didn't matter much but others organising a similar schedule might want to understand this. The toilet was cramped but clean. The kids did get lots of mozzie bites even though we had copious jungle formula repellent. I am not sure this could have been avoided, though perhaps the mozzie net might have been designed better to fit the canopy without gaps.

Really relaxing. Having the kayaks was a nice extra. We also didn't know we would have the boat to ourselves and this exclusivity made for a really special experience

We had a fabulous 2 night trip and so wouldn't have changed anything about the experience. We were told that we would be dropped in Edfu, and were dropped off half way to Edfu, but to have travelled the extra distance would have meant less time relaxing at island stops on the way, and so we were happy with how it worked out

Complete relax on the river. Amazing experience with Captain Tarek and his nephew. Moreover, he is an excellent cooker!

the bathroom is small and basic
