Cruise with Tarek and Soleimen - We are a French family and we cruised 2 days 2 nights with Tarek and Soleiman from Aswan to Kom Ombo ... It was a wonderful l experience, The toilet cabin is good enough ... everything is clean, food is excellent (probably the best we had in Egypt !) Ask Tarek to meet some families on the way ... It was great to do it with the kids ... To be honest I should have take 3 nights to completely imerge ourselves in this atmosphere ... Try to built your whole trip around the fellucca trip itself if you can ... This clearly is an Highlight no kidding ...

A wonderful experience! - We spent 2 nights on a felucca with Abdul , Mo and their foam. A great experience that I recommend 100%! Everything was perfect: - the clean and comfortable felucca, we sleep very well with very soft blankets - toilets (!!), - meals prepared on site are delicious and hearty. A big thank you to the chef! - the crew is very kind and the atmosphere super friendly -the landscapes are beautiful It’s quiet and relaxing, we feel good!! Come and test you will absolutely not regret it!! We were family at 6 from 11 to 70 years old and everyone loved it. This is one of the highlights of our trip. But it should be added that Waleed is the interlocutor to book this experience. And finally after the exchange of some emails, it was our entire trip to Egypt that he organized perfectly!! From our arrival at Cairo airport to our transfer to Hurghada, everything was spotless!! There were no problems. - drivers for transfers always kind and punctual - Quality Francophone guides -he booked all visits to the sites - experiences at the top: kayak , felouque and hot air balloon with safe and quality providers We kept in touch with him throughout the trip. This is very reassuring. And all this has a price defying competition!! The French agencies would have taken us double or triple for this kind of service. Waleed is reliable, friendly, responsive and adorable. Contact him without hesitation!!!! Thank you again.

Peaceful and Pleasant Trip - My husband and I had a lovely time sailing the Nile with JJ’s. We had Tarek as our captain and Suleimon as our cook. They were wonderful and very accommodating. It was a relaxing trip and they kept us well fed. I thought the price was very good for chartering the whole boat. It was hard to leave after having such a quiet and peaceful time.

An experience out of time! - We spent 2 wonderful days on a felucca with Abdul, Mo and their foam. Letting yourself be carried away by the current of the Nile and admire the scenery and sunsets was truly a magical experience. The meals prepared on site are delicious and hearty! The felucca is very comfortable and in addition there are toilets!! The crew is very friendly and we even learned to sail! A nice bubble of happiness and tranquility. We highly recommend this adventure!

La Felouk an art of living - Superb adventure on the Felouk Jamaica, with its captain Tarek and Salima. Once on the Felouk let yourself be carried away by the charms of the Nile. On the Felouk There is a toilet (traditional) and for the night no worries the captain has provided mosquito nets. The kitchen, a treat, Salema cooks great. However, managed your arrival well, because it is the wind that will decide your bridge

Best Trip what you can do in Egypt - After a month in Egypt, that was the best thing I could experience. Tarik and Sulayma earned more than 5 stars for everything. The food was better than any restaurant I visited in a month. I will never forget these two days, I recommend it to everyone to do this tour. You won't regret it.

THE BEST EXPERIENCE IN EGYPT - First we met JJ Jamaica and realized why he's doing well. Once sailing, the experience was amazing. All thanks to Mido (Captain Cook) and Ibrahim (Captain Fisherman). We took two friends. In the future we will come with our children to sail with the two of them, inshalla. Thanks for everything.

We sailed smoothly down the nile. We stopped for a nice swim on the way! And the food was amazing!! Tarik and Sulymen were verg friendly and skilled sailers. We had a great and truly unique experience. Thank you!
