Overview

If you have only a short time in Cairo, you can still enjoy a relaxed cruise on the River Nile aboard a traditional wooden sailboat, the felucca. As you glide across the water, you will take in the gentle atmosphere, riverside views and changing light along the banks. The experience focuses on the simple pleasure of sailing, with time to sit back, chat and enjoy the scenery as the felucca moves through the river. Transfers to and from your Cairo hotel are included, so you can travel there and back without worrying about logistics. The outing is family-friendly and suitable for all ages, making it easy to share the river views with children or older relatives. Along the way you may notice local river life and the city’s waterfront atmosphere, keeping the cruise calm and easygoing rather than a planned sightseeing tour.
