Felucca Sailing Experience
Our Felucca 'Princess Sarah' was built from the same craftsmen that built our Sandal and provides an alternative way of sailing the Nile.
Felucca's are traditional and simple Egyptian sailing boats which have been cruising the Nile since ancient times. Felucca's have one mast at the stern of the boat and are powered by the wind to propel them down the Nile, creating a peaceful ambience while taking in the spectacular scenery. The deck of the boat is covered in soft mattresses and cushions and has a canopy that offers shade from the sun. Beds and meals are provided however the toilet facilities are by way of using the natural surroundings.
We have an experienced and reliable captain and crew who have been sailing the Nile for many years and offer an exceptional wealth of knowledge about Egypt and the Nile to our guests on board.
With flexible itineraries our guests often choose to stay a little longer or see more sights of the Nile along the way. We regularly stop to take in the highlights of the river and also find many ideal swimming stopovers on our travels.
Our Felucca will sail during the day, passing villages and spectacular Egyptian sights and then put down the anchor each night on the riverside. Our guests sleep comfortably under the canopy looking up at the stars.
We'd love to welcome you aboard, so get in contact with us to find out more.
