Luxury Felucca Sail on the Nile with Lunch

What to expect on the day

A driver picks you up and takes you to the riverbank, where you board the felucca. You then sail quietly along the Nile for about 2 hours, enjoying lunch, tea or coffee and views of the city from the water, before the drive back to your hotel. You can add extras such as balloons, flowers, a cake or candles for a special day, for an extra fee.
