Itinerary
Step 1: Pick-up from Your Hotel
Your relaxing Nile experience begins as our friendly Raymira Egypt Tours representative picks you up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza. Sit back in an air-conditioned vehicle and enjoy a short ride to the Nile dock. On the way, your guide or driver will share interesting stories about Cairo’s riverfront life and how the Nile has shaped Egypt’s culture for thousands of years.
Step 2: Arriving at the Nile Dock
Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed by your local Felucca captain, a skilled sailor who’s been navigating the Nile for years. You’ll board a traditional Egyptian Felucca, a charming wooden sailboat with white canvas sails, offering a calm and authentic atmosphere far from the city noise.
Step 3: Begin Your Felucca Cruise
As the sail catches the breeze, your Felucca gently glides across the legendary Nile River.
Take in the breathtaking views of Cairo’s skyline, modern bridges, and riverside landmarks. Feel the cool air on your face and the peaceful motion of the boat — a perfect contrast to the city’s busy streets.
This is your moment to relax, breathe, and connect with the timeless beauty of Egypt.
Step 4: Capture the Perfect Memories
Whether it’s early morning sunshine, golden-hour glow, or a magical evening ride with sparkling city lights, the Nile never disappoints.
Take your time to snap photos, record short videos, or simply enjoy the peaceful rhythm of the water.
For couples, the sunset Felucca ride offers an especially romantic and unforgettable experience.
Step 5: Return to the Dock
After approximately 45–60 minutes on the Nile, your Felucca will return to the dock. Your driver will be waiting to take you back comfortably to your hotel, leaving you refreshed and filled with positive energy — the perfect pause during your Cairo stay.

A private romantic setup with flowers and soft music

✨ End of Tour
Your Short Felucca Trip may be brief, but it’s one of those peaceful experiences that stays in your memory forever — a quiet moment on the river that has witnessed Egypt’s entire history.
