Sunset Felucca Cruise on the Nile in Luxor

Pick up by the representative to enjoy a cruise along the Nile River on a felucca, a traditional sailing boat, during a private 2-hour trip from your Luxor hotel.
After you are picked up from your hotel, you will be transported to the water in an air-conditioned vehicle by your Luxor guide.
Board the boat and relax on the soft cushions. Then enjoy a cool drink as you gently glide down the river. Look around you for scenes that have not changed in millennia. See children playing in the water, observe the camels, watch the farmers doing their work in the same ways they have done for centuries, and admire the water buffalo and a wide variety of birds and wildlife.
Then watch as the sun sets slowly over the West Bank and the Valley of the Kings.
