Unforgettable Sunset on the Nile! - We had an absolutely amazing time on our sunset felucca ride in Aswan! A huge thank you to our fantastic guide, Moataz, who went above and beyond to make our trip seamless. He arranged a convenient boat pick-up and drop-off right at our hotel on the West Bank, which was incredibly helpful. The journey itself was deeply memorable; drifting along the water while taking in the mesmerizing views and calmness of the sunset was the highlight of our trip. Through Moataz's wonderful hospitality, we truly felt like family in a faraway land. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough

An Unforgettable Sunset Sail in Aswan – Highly Recommend Our Guide, Mohamed Salah! - We recently had the pleasure of taking a Felucca ride on the Nile in Aswan, and it was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our Egypt trip. This was all thanks to our incredible guide, Mohamed Salah. Why Mohamed is the best: • Captivating Storyteller: Mohamed shared the rich history of Aswan and the Nile with such passion. He explained the historical significance of the Felucca in Egyptian culture in a way that was incredibly engaging and vivid. It wasn’t just a history lesson; it felt like the stories came to life as we sailed. • Pro-Level Photography: This was a huge bonus! Mohamed has a fantastic eye for photography—it felt like we had a professional photographer on board. He knew exactly where the best light and angles were, capturing stunning photos of my wife and me that we will treasure forever. • A Relaxing & Authentic Experience: His warm personality and professionalism made the entire afternoon feel seamless and special. We were able to truly relax and soak in the beauty of the Nile. Final Verdict: If you are visiting Aswan, do not miss the chance to sail with Mohamed Salah. Whether you're a history buff or just want some amazing vacation photos, he is the perfect guide. Thank you, Mohamed, for such a memorable experience!

Worst experience ever in my life - This is the worst travel experience in my life. The tour guide, Moataz Salah, told us that they were not able to do Felucca for us because there was no wind at all at the moment. I don’t blame them for not doing felucca, but Moataz Salah won’t let us to cancel our felucca ride, instead he insisted us to do Nubian Village visit. He told us we need pay extra 10 us dollars per person because the Nubian visit included dinner. It turned out the dinner was 2 small pieces of bread with honey for each person. He spent mere 5-10 minutes to introduce Nubian culture and then brought us to a very expensive spice store for shopping. Not counting the boat ride, the tour lasted only 30 minutes and half of that time was in the spice store. I would gave the trip and the guide Moataz Salah negative score if that was possible. Absolute worst experience in all my trips to different countries.
