Overview

In Cairo, you'll soak in the city lights from the calming deck of a felucca. These traditional Egyptian sailboats have been used for millennia to move up and down the Nile, and they make a peaceful setting for an evening away from the city's bustle. The river and the skyline will take on a different character as daylight fades, and the view becomes especially striking at sunset. As you glide along the Nile, you'll enjoy a slower pace and a quieter perspective on Cairo. Along the way, you'll watch the water and lights reflect together and feel the contrast between the busy streets ashore and the tranquillity of the boat. This experience focuses on atmosphere: gentle sailing, changing colours in the sky and the soft glow of the city after dark.
