Private Nile felucca ride with dinner
Cruise the Nile on a private canopied felucca with lanterns, cushioned seating, an Egyptian dinner served onboard, soft drinks and a dedicated crew, choosing sunset or an evening departure.
- A canopied felucca with lanterns and cushions, reserved only for your party
- Sunset and evening departures
- Egyptian dinner served onboard
- Cairo skyline and Nile islands from the water
A private felucca gives you the Nile without a large dinner-cruise boat or fixed entertainment programme. Meet the crew at a central Cairo dock, settle onto cushions under the lantern-hung canopy, cruise past river islands and the city skyline, and eat a set Egyptian dinner onboard as the lights come on.
The boat, captain and crew are reserved for your party. Because the felucca does not depend on the wind, it leaves on time and brings you back to the same dock after two hours.
