Sail boat from Luxor to hotel Jolie Ville - Top notch. Very friendly and helpful crew. Arrived early dropped us off at our hotel Jolie Ville, even though very hard for them to dock there. Recommend highly.

Nile sail with Tamar and crew - Visiting Egypt for the first time and as we love the water and also love sailing wanted to go out on the Nile for a sunset cruise. Tamar and his crew looked after us so well. As we stepped on the boat, the table was set up with snacks and water and mint tea was offered which was delicious. Tamar was a very friendly captain. and his crew were delightful. They went out of their way to make sure we didn’t miss anything. The little cabin boy pointed out the buffalo to us and all the crew were very friendly. On our way back to shore, the table was moved and we had the opportunity to sing and dance as we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. I would thoroughly recommend Tamar and his crew if you want to go out for a sail up the Nile. Such an amazing experience that we will never forget thank you so much for your hospitality.

Wonderful hospitality - nothing was too hard for Tamar and team. Can highly recommend this to anyone visiting Luxor. - The hotel pick up went smoothly. The boat was beautifully prepared with snacks and drinks served. The crew were delightful and very engaging. The little “cabin boy” was a character and very funny! Tamar went out of his way to show us great Egyptian hospitality. I got to steer the boat. We visited banana Island and he gave us extra time at no extra cost. The crew even turned into a percussion band to wish us happy anniversary. Everyone danced and sang - it was a wonderful experience. As a sailor myself, watching them sail the boat on and off the mooring in the river was nothing short of masterly. Thanks Tamar & crew for a wonderful evening. If I could give six stars I would!

Authentic sailing experience - I had a fantastic time with Tamer. His boat is beautiful and clean, was very enjoyable to see how sail was opened and boys helping with the sailing experience. Other boats didn’t even bothered opening the sail.Tamer had nice snacks prepared and was attentive. He showed fishing men and explained different fishing methods. We spotted some water buffalos and birds - eagle and nile chicken.We also stopped at Banana island which was a great and fun experience. We looked at the plants and animals, had bananas and fresh sugarcane juice! Nile was calm and peaceful. They played traditional music and sang for us, we even danced! Tamer is super nice! Unforgettable experience and would absolutely recommend to anyone!

Sailing the Nile on the Felucca of Happiness - Momen, Ziad, and Karim are amazing felucca sailors, gliding smoothly along the Nile in Luxor. They are incredibly kind, respectful, and polite. Don’t miss the dance and song party on the Nile — Karim is a fantastic dancer and brings such a festive spirit. It was truly an unforgettable experience.

An exhilarating sail on the Nile! - We highly recommend sailing with Tamer and his lovely crew! We had amazing weather with enough wind to make it an exhilarating ride on the Nile! I am so glad we opted for the sail boat and not a motor boat. It was such a fun ride and it was really impressive watching his crew maneuver the large sail. The boat was clean and comfortable, and Tamer was very friendly and informative. The hibiscus tea was lovely as well. We sailed in the morning, which meant less boats around which was also nice! I would definitely go again if we have a chance to come back to Luxor. Thank you, Tamer!
