Felucca on the Nile |
|
Overview:
Taking a Felucca down the Nile is a must do while visiting Egypt. Feluccas are actually sail boats that have been used on the Nile since a long time. You have the options of short sunset sails in Cairo and Alexandria or you can try longer cruises which usually leave from Aswan.
A Felucca is definitely not as comfortable as a luxury cruise ship but nothing can match the experience of sailing in these boats designed thousands of years ago.
The Felucca tour can be taken to the following destinations:
- 3 day felucca cruise to Kom Ombo
- 8 day Felucca Tour
- 10 day Felucca cruise
- 11 day Felucca cruise
Course of the Felucca - Cruise
A felucca is spaced for 10 persons in general. The foot well between the benches is utilized as storage. Mats provide the necessary comforts. Cruising starts at 8:00 in the morning; stops taken only for lunch and one hour before sunset. The food is strongly flavored in accordance to Nubian-upper Egyptian taste. In the night, the deck is covered and surrounded by a tent-like curtain, which is left open at one side for oxygen. Cruising through the river Nile, one can get a glimpse of the modern day Egypt and at the same time travel back in time to the age of the Pharaohs, because there are something that haven't changed at all.

And after all river Nile is so important to the Egyptian civilization; there would have been no settlement in this part of the world in the absence of Nile-the lifeline of the country.
