Another beloved classic is “kabsa,” a spiced rice dish with a choice of chicken, lamb, or fish, often cooked with tomatoes, onions, and aromatic spices.

Feluccas are basic, traditional sailing boats that have been used on the Nile for centuries. They are very simple sailing boats without engines. Each felucca accommodates 6-8 people and is crewed by a captain and a deck hand – both of whom have grown up along the banks of the Nile. As well as being experienced Nile sailors, they also make the most delicious meals out of simple local ingredients. You may enjoy a lunch of local bread, white cheese, hummus and delicious fresh tomatoes or a dinner of pasta and mixed vegetables with tomato sauce. While the deck is covered with mattresses and cushions for a comfortable sleep on the deck, a light sleeping bag might be preferred if you are travelling in the winter even though blankets are provided.
Simple boats also mean no facilities on-board, however we arrange another boat with on-board facilities to tag along your journey, providing a more comfortable adventure.
Felucca experience is an essential highlight of Egypt travel.
You may have realized that some of our tours have very similar itinararies as each other, except for a few days. For example: Essential Egypt, Felucca Odyssey and Jewels of the Nile.
