My husband and I had the most serene and magical experience on a private felucca ride on the Nile during sunset, guided by the wonderful Sayed Gamal and with the expert assistance of Ahmed. This was a perfect way to wind down after a busy day of sightseeing!
The ride itself was absolutely calm and relaxing. Sayed Gamal made sure everything was organized, and he even shared some fascinating stories about the Nile, its significance in Egyptian history, and the surrounding landscape. As the sun began to set, the colors over the river were stunning, and we couldn’t help but feel completely at peace, surrounded by the natural beauty of Luxor.
Ahmed, as always, was incredibly reliable and attentive, ensuring that we were comfortable throughout the ride and that everything went smoothly. The boat was peaceful and well-maintained, and the gentle breeze made it even more enjoyable.
Watching the sunset over the Nile was one of the most serene moments of our trip—it felt like a dream come true. If you’re in Luxor, we highly recommend booking this felucca ride—it’s the perfect way to relax and enjoy the beauty of the river after a day of exploring.
Thank you, Sayed and Ahmed, for making this experience so unforgettable!
Tips for future visitors: Bring a light jacket (it can get cooler as the sun sets), and don’t forget your camera—the views are stunning!

Our sunset cruise on the Nile with Sayed Gamal was truly epic. The serene beauty of the river, coupled with the warm hospitality of our guide, created an unforgettable experience. Sayed’s deep knowledge of the local history and culture added an enriching dimension to the cruise. As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with vibrant hues, we were treated to a breathtaking spectacle. They gave us tea and snacks on the boat that were delicious. We highly recommend this experience with Sayed Gamal to anyone seeking a truly memorable moment on the Nile.

If you would like to have a nice special sunset I can recommend you the great sailing boat tour it was a tour two hours in the evening during the sunset. We went by a small boat on the Nile and we could see the lovely sunsets between the mountains and the Nile.
We enjoyed this tour so much and it was great thanks for the service.

Our guide, Ramses, picked us up at our hotel and was sure to have the ac blaring and he brought us drinks. His English is very good, which I appreciate given I don’t speak Arabic well. He brought us to our felucca and went with us the entire time. I am a sailor with my own 26 foot sloop in Puget Sound, so I was super excited to see how a felucca works. I was able to communicate with the captain through google translate and let him know I am a fellow sailor and the man LET ME SKIPPER HIS FELUCCA!!!! It’s different than my boat, but I was able to do it. You keep the sail live and operate the tiller with your back. Captain had a son who made us tea and also does a perfect clove hitch (we cheered!). The sunset was absolutely gorgeous. The boat was beautiful (Queen Jane was our felucca). There was no motor on this boat- they undocked and docked under sail. I was super impressed with their skills and their kindness- just letting some woman they just met skipper their boat! Ramses, our guide, was a great conversationalist. He told us about the area and offered to take us to the temple if we wanted. He also took photos of us and helped translate with the captain. I had the best time. Also- the moon rise over Luxor was gorgeous! I highly recommend this sail and ask for Ramses!!!

We had an unforgettable experience with Luxor Egypt Tours, and Sayed, our guide, made it truly special. We embarked on a beautiful felucca sunset sail along the Nile, where the serene waters and breathtaking views were magical. Sayed's knowledge and passion for Egyptian culture and history added so much depth to our journey. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure we felt comfortable and relaxed throughout the sail. This trip exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend both Luxor Egypt Tours and Sayed for anyone looking to experience Egypt’s beauty in a unique and memorable way!

I had an incredible experience on the sunset sailing trip to Banana Island! The views were absolutely stunning – watching the sun dip below the horizon, casting warm colors across the water, was pure magic. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was comfortable and had a great time. Banana Island was cool, and the atmosphere on the boat was relaxed and fun. This trip is perfect for anyone looking to unwind and soak up a memorable sunset. Highly recommend

After a busy day visiting the city's attractions we went for a falucca cruise. Very relaxing and beautiful to see the sunset. Our guide, Tony, helped us with everything and went out of his way to make it even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for any tour while in Luxor. We used the same company for other tours and all of them were 1A.

We had a fantastic time on this sunset Felucca ride, learning about the history of this method of transportation, the importance of the Nile River and its seasons, and having a lot of fun with the crew, followed by the perfect placement to see the sunset.
Ask for Mina when you book - he’s absolutely top notch and made the excursion very enjoyable, as did the kids piloting the boat. We couldn’t have asked for a better time or provider. A great way to end our Egypt excursion.

We went on a sunset 2 hour sailing by felucca with our guide Amir and Captain Tamer. Amir met us at our hotel and brought us the short distance to Felucca. He made sure we were comfortable on the boat and had snacks and drinks a plenty. Captain Tamer and his crew were v friendly and provided some special entertainment (dancing and drums) for my partner's birthday. The sunset was beautiful and we had plenty of time to dip our feet in the Nile as we sailed along peacefully. Great experience. Thanks Amir!

BOOK THIS TOUR. 10/10. Fun, friendly, affordable, relaxing, and gorgeous!! We went with Mina, Tamer, Adel, and Ahmed. They fed us snacks and drinks (including a pit stop for Cane Sugar juice on the way back to the hotel), taught us how to steer the boat, taught us about the history of the Nile, played drums that we all sang and danced to, and took many photos for us. We laughed so much and consider them long lost friends :)
