Overview

A felucca cruise on the Nile in Luxor places you on a traditional wooden sailing boat with its distinctive lateen sail. These simple, local craft are used by both tourists and residents for slow, peaceful trips along the river, giving a relaxed way to take in the river’s atmosphere. As you glide along the Nile, you will see the changing landscape, ancient temples and the surrounding countryside unfold along the banks. Cruises can range from short outings to full-day excursions and may include meals or sunset views, depending on the trip you choose. The gentle pace and scenic riverside sights make a felucca ride a calm way to experience Luxor and the Nile.
