Cairo Tour Manial Palace and Felucca with Lunch

The tour name says Cairo Tour Manial Palace and felucca with lunch. I think this is deceptive since I read that to mean we’d have a Cairo Tour followed by the Manial Palace then a felucca sail. No, it means just the Palace, a felucca (not necessarily much of a sail) and lunch. 1. We did the felucca tour first, but there was no wind so we floated over to the middle of the river and sat there for about an hour going nowhere looking at the same view. 2. The "palace" does not look palatial, like in the picture. The furniture is old and torn, everything faded and covered in dust. Just saying I don'

This tour was a perfect compliment to our large tour itinerary as it covered experiences not included in our itinerary. Our guide Zizou was a fantastic fund of knowledge especially during our tour of the Manial Palace. We enjoyed our peaceful felucca ride and delicious lunch. All and all a great day.

Our tour guide Henry was extremely knowledgeable about the Manial Palace. He explained in detail how the Palace and Mosque was built. His historic perspective taught us a lot about the societies, religions and cultures of the people living through the eras. He gave all of us a lot to think about. He was very personable and we all had a wonderful experience. The felucca ride on The Nile afterwards was wonderful.

A wonderful break from ancient Egypt. Our guide Ahmed was very knowledgeable about the palace & Egypt history. The highlight for us was the Felucca ride on the Nile. So quiet & peaceful.

We really enjoyed this excursion. There were few people at the palace, so a great break from the crowds. I loved seeing the palace, and it was a break from "ancient" history. We enjoyed the sailboat ride, and had a lovely lunch! Our guide was wonderful!
