About this experience

Experience the timeless beauty of the Nile on a traditional Egyptian sailing boat as the day comes to a magical close. Board your felucca at the East Bank corniche and set sail on the world's longest river. As your captain catches the breeze, you glide past the lush riverbanks, banana plantations, and the ancient monuments of the West Bank silhouetted against the setting sun. This is the same river that Cleopatra sailed and that has sustained Egyptian civilization for thousands of years. As the sky turns gold, orange, and pink, enjoy traditional Egyptian tea and snacks while your crew shares stories of life on the Nile. The peaceful silence of sailing, broken only by the sound of water against the hull and the occasional call to prayer from nearby mosques, creates an atmosphere of pure tranquility.
