Perfect experience - We had a dazzling experience enjoying the River Nile at sunset. We had a charming team who even let us sail by ourselves for a couple of minutes. Later we sipped local tea while admiring the nature and culture of this beautiful city. Definetly an experience you should not miss!

Wonderful Felucca Ride - What an amazing experience from start to finish! I booked a private felucca ride for my cousin and me through Luxor Egypt Tours on Tuesday via TripAdvisor, and we went for it today (Saturday). Soon after TripAdvisor confirmed the booking - and I mean within a blink - Salah hit me up on WhatsApp to double-check everything and make sure we were set for our ride with Mina and his driver picking us up from our hotel at 15:45 on the dot. Mina was bang on time, waiting for us at the lobby sharp at 15:40, and we hopped into their clean and comfy car right at 15:45. When we arrived, we were welcomed aboard by a lovely family of three on the felucca. It was just us on the boat, which was proper authentic and had plenty of space. It was tidy and peaceful. About 5 minutes into the sail, they served us some cold Egyptian tea. Mina chatted with us about the surroundings, like fishing boats and farms, giving us a bit of insight into the local culture. In the last hour, we got another drink, along with some fresh dates that were delicious. The family played Arabic music with drums and got us up and dancing. After that, they got us involved in a fun little game with “two ropes." Mina and the family were very good and friendly. They looked after us well, even putting up extra shades for us. Mina took loads of photos and videos of us enjoying ourselves. We ended up being on board for over 2 hours, but they didn't rush us back. The first part of the ride was really chill, although it was hot with no breeze. The sunset over the Nile River was stunning. It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing that everyone should try! The second half, with the Arabic music and the traditional kid's game, was great fun. My cousin even had a go at rowing. We had an absolute blast and didn't have a dull moment. We were chuffed to bits with this trip. Definitely give them a shout if you're thinking about a felucca trip. Highly recommend them!
