Tour overview
The Cairo Nile Sunset Felucca is a private 2-hour traditional sailboat cruise on the central Cairo Nile, timed to sunset. Sailed by a licensed local felucca captain past Zamalek Island and the Cairo Tower. Includes hotel pickup, refreshments (tea, hibiscus, water), and drop-off. From $39 per person.
Cairo’s Nile flows through the center of the world’s largest Arabic-speaking city — feluccas sail past the Cairo Tower on Zamalek Island, past the illuminated hotels of Garden City, and past the ancient river islands that were originally the site of pharaonic Cairo. A private 2-hour felucca is one of the most peaceful things you can do in Cairo — the traffic, honking, and chaos of the city disappear the moment you leave the dock. Marvel books you with a local licensed captain, private for your group only.
