Guest Reviews

• Kirsty (10/5): Aswan adventure - Impeccably organised by Gamal. A warm and friendly welcome from our Captain Yam yam and his chef Zizo. The boat is beautiful, clean and comfortable. The food is delicious and plentiful. The scenery stunning and the atmosphere calm and tranquil. However, the best thing about this trip was spending time with the crew, sharing stories and learning a little more about the people, history and culture of this beautiful area. We would love to do it all again! Nothing, it was a wonderful adventure.
• Viktoriia (10/5): - After visiting Abu Simbel we had half a day until flight, so we decided to rent felucca. It was one of our the best choice during vacation. Relax+ sightseeing+food+toilet available. Highly recommended combine with Abu Simbel and late flight to Cairo:)
• MAYA (10/5): - plus qu'un voyage, une rencontre et une magnifique expérience. c'était très apaisant. Ahmed et Mahmoud ont été aux petits soins avec nous en nous concoctant de délicieux repas tout en restant très discrets. les paysages sont magnifiques. A faire absolument ! Rien
• FrancescoS21 (10/5): Esperienza unica - Esperienza fantastica per uscire dai circuiti delle classifiche crociere e vivere un'autentica esperienze nubiana. Lo staff è stato molto gentile, disponibile e simpatico. Lo spettacolo del Nilo dalla Felucca è impagabile, si scorre lenti e silenziosi sulle calme acque. La prossima volta staremo ancora più giorni
• duplan (10/5): - Super expérience et du personnel très compétent. Nous étions que 2 personnes à bord et cela est très très confortable.
• Christina (9/5): Für uns als Fsmilie war es ein wirklich tolles und einzigartiges Erlebnis! - Tolles Abenteuer, auch für größere Kinder spannend. Die Atmosphäre auf der Felukka ist sehr entspannend, die Verhältnisse einfach aber sauber und hygienisch - auch für westliche Individualtouristen. Das Essen war sehr lecker, es gab sogar Fisch aus dem Nil, unterwegs von einem lokalen Fischer erworben. Koch und Skipper waren sehr bemüht und hatten alles gut im Griff. Der Nil muss zu bestimmten Zeiten mit den Kreuzfahrtschiffen geteilt werden. Man muss sich auf Geräusche in der Nacht einstellen (Oropax empfehlenswert).
• Hynes (10/5): Wonderful experience - great food, people, views. Loved every second. - This was the most blissful few days drifting down the Nile aboard a beautiful Felucca. Evenings spent on the roof playing cards watching the sun set, stopovers in beautiful rural locations, delicious veggie food cooked by JamJam our captain, extraordinary bird watching, morning swims, waking up to breathe taking sunrises... I could go on and on. We were onboard for three nights with four adult children and we all had the most wonderful wonderful time. Highly recommend. The mosquitos on the final night - but mosquito nets were provided when we went to sleep.
• Riku (10/5): Exceptional -
• Daheun (6/5): Nice experience - It was beautiful to see Nile river up close. The food prepared by crews were good. Captain Ahmed was very helpful and friendly. There were too many mosquitoes. Toilet water was not sufficient to wash. Fresh Food can be more variety and sufficient. It’s better to take a ride for few hours not staying a night for the family with kids.
• Ann (10/5): A memorable unique experience - I had considered a cruise but and am so glad I chose this Felucca. We are a small familiy and we all loved it. Captain Ahmed and Islam were the most gentle of men, a pleasure to have met them. The food was delicious and plentiful. Due to our flight times we stayed in Aswan on the first evening. Gamal, the owner, showed us around his homeplace, Elephantine Island, which was interesting. On the Nile, the stopping points in the evening were islands, which were safe and peaceful. We had refreshing swims. Nothing
• Markus (5/5): Passable - Food was good and we had a great sailing experience. Captain and the cook are quite nice people. We were asked to give tip to the staff and they also wanted to know how much we gave. Obviously, if u dont tip everyone u deal with u are not welcome there. Unfortunately, this true for whole touristy places in Egypt by the way. The boat is only comfortable to stay maybe one or two nights max due to the design of the boat. U have to crawl around when you want to move in the lower deck because the height of the lower deck (only 1 meter). So if u have any back or knee problems dont do it to yourself. After our egypt trip my husband left a score 7 on booking.com, which we are just being honest, but then later we got complaint messages from the host and ask us to cancel our feedback. How should this ever result in a reliable rating if everyone gives 10 out of 10? Sorry, but I cannot recommend this host.
• Matej (10/5): Must do experince - We spent two days and nights on this felucca. One can not imagine how peacefull place it is. One you entered felucca the time stops. The crew was so calm and nice, the felucca was perfectly clean inclouding toilette. The food was delicious. Everything was just perfect. Must do if you visit Egypt. Nothing
• Polina (10/5): Wonderful experience! Must do in Egypt! - So much better than the big cruise ship! It's a very nice big boat! I was worried that it's going to be hard to sleep at night, but the first night I slept for 12 hours! The air was fresh, the Nile waters are clean and cold. The staff on the boat was exceptional! I felt very safe and welcomed during the whole trip. The food was delicious 😋 Breakfast, lunch, dinner + tea and watermelons 😍 I made sure to buy a mosquito spray in Aswan (recommended) , but they have the mosquito nets so won't be a problem. Nothing
• Chili (10/5): the felluca was magical, for youth i would recommend it rather than the Nile Cruise hotels. we were 6 friends, mixed nat - it was very clean, and the host was very nice we weren’t told up front about the cost of Nubian village visit
