Description:

Enjoy a customary felucca ride on a private tour of the Nile River, central to Egypt's illustrious past. Admire Cairo from its famous waterway in this enduringly popular mode of transport, idyllically passing a few hours while learning about the area's culture and history from your private guide.

Participate in one of the city's most popular pastimes and board a felucca, a wooden sailing boat made distinct by its large board sails and absence of a motor. Cruise along the majestic river, just as the Pharaohs did thousands of years ago, glimpsing historic sights on the banks. Learn more about the river's essential role in the growth and development of the Egyptian civilization.

With a private tour you're free to choose your timing, the distinction between a romantic sunset glide or a family day out. Take advantage of your guide's local and historical knowledge or just use the time to lean back, take a break, and soak up the atmosphere—observing the busy river traffic as it floats by.
