Wonderful felucca trip - We booked a 2nights felucca tour and while organising it, the staff has been very professional, friendly and quick in replying our questions. Tarek, the felucca captain, was experienced and the food during the sail one of the best during our two weeks trip in Egypt. JJ staff also helped us in arranging the transfers from Marsa Alam to Luxor and back with reliable drivers. We also slept one night at JJ new open guest house and everything was very nice. JJ and his family were warm, welcoming and prepared a delicious home made dinner. We absolutely recommend JJ Captain to all the people who want to experience the real Egypt while in Assuan.

Great felucca trip up the Nile, and temple visits with driver - Friendly staff, comfortable boat with loo. Probably the best food we had in Egypt! We sailed from Aswan to somewhere south of Daraw, and JJ also organized an excellent driver for us to travel to the temples at Kom Umbu, Edfu and Esna, before reaching our hotel in Luxor. Total cost for a day and a night on the felucca, with lunch, dinner and breakfast plus driver for the day was $250. Totally recommend it!

Thank you Tarik and Slimane - I want to thank Captain Tarek and Cook Slimane who were both exceptional! In addition to the beauty of the ride and the unparalleled overnight experience on the Felouke, both were cared for. Special mention for lunch, dinner and breakfast... A thousand thanks!

Exceptional crazy, amazing hosts - Great experience sailing on the Nile. We chose to sail on the Nile for a day and a half and we would have liked time to stop. Sunset and sunrise simply exceptional in a setting where we were alone in the world. We were accompanied by Tarik who is an exceptional navigator and Slimane who cooks the finest food from the boat. I can only recommend to everyone the services of these two people who will remain one of the most beautiful moments of my trip Egypt.

Magic - We took the 3 night felucca cruise from Aswan. We are a family with 2 children 8 and 10 years old and the grandmother was there. The cruise was magical! The banks of the Nile, the rhythm in the sandstone of the wind... we were delighted to choose this option over a dahabieh that is always pulled by a loud tug! And let's not talk about the big cruise ships with the leu leu tail! We ate very well, the cook is a real chef. Captain's a real pro and he's got a handle on his shit. For a very sweet price, the experience was great. Memories engraved forever. Thank you to the crew.

A friendly, authentic and comfortable way to experience the Nile on a Felucca - We had a wonderful time on the boat captained by Midoo. Our chef Hamada prepared 3 delicious, authentic meals. We spent a full day relaxing, enjoying the views, and star gazing from the sun deck. Our night was comfortable and we found the boat to be clean. Bring layers as the temperature drops at night!
