Awesome Felucca - Had an awesome time sailing the Nile with Tarek our captain and Silamin our chef. Felt safe and comfortable the whole time with top class egyptian food. Went to a local market which was an eye opening experience but glad Tarek came with us as a guide and taught us about the way of life. Would recommend this trip to anyone!!!

Best experience⛵️ - We had the most amazing experience doing a two-night felucca trip from Aswan! Tarek, our captain, and Silamin our chef made the trip so special with their knowledge of the Nile, great stories and amazing food. We felt completely safe the whole time and it was honestly one of the most relaxing and memorable experiences of our trip. Couldn’t recommend it enough!

Excursion on the Nile by felucca - A fantastic experience, this felucca excursion between Aswan and Kom Ombo (2 days, 1 night)! A big thank you to Ibrahim and Mido, who took great care of our family (2 adults and 4 teens between 16 and 19 years old). Everyone was delighted by this break on the Nile: relaxing sailing, magnificent sunrise and sunset. The captain was lovely with our children who sail, and let them maneuver the felucca 😊. They were delighted! The meals, prepared on the felucca, were delicious and it was a real pleasure to share the meal with the crew! And the night on the felucca was very comfortable; blankets and mosquito nets are available if needed.

First Class Trip through Egypt with Kemet Travel - We had a fantastic two night voyage sailing from Aswan to Kom Ombo with our marvellous crew Ibrahim and Middow. Our trip included stopping off to visit a local village and mooring in shaded coves to swim in the Nile. The meals prepared by the crew were wonderful and the gentle sailing was a delight especially with the bird wildlife we encountered along the way. We can't thank the guys enough and to Kemet for their organisation.

Blissful trip - Picked up in the morning for a 1 night trip on the Nile. The afternoon food was ridden in a small kitchen but was very tasty. The captain and mate were both super friendly and committed to us. It was a very pleasant trip to make.

Unforgettable experience! - Incredible experience! The felucca trip is calm and relaxing, another way to discover Egypt along the Nile. The felucca is spacious and very comfortable, the crew: Tarek and Mohamed were very attentive to our comfort and very welcoming! The food is delicious. The children loved the experience, especially swimming in the Nile. It was simply perfect! Thank you so much Tarek and Mohamed!

Fabulous experience! - Our experience was fabulous on Tarek and Mohamed's felucca. We spent two very relaxing days and nights there, far from the hustle and bustle of sightseeing! The meals are excellent, cooked directly on the felucca by Mohamed. Tarek and Mohamed took great care of our comfort throughout the entire trip. A big thank you!

Best felucca on the Nile - I recommend this trip without hesitation! Everything was perfect. If you want to have a unique experience as a couple, with family, or with friends: this is the perfect felucca! The welcome is simple and well explained, the team is responsive and replies very quickly. The felucca is typical and very comfortable. Under the roof, there is a large space to relax in the cool, sheltered from the sun! Ideal for playing cards, reading, or taking a nap… On the roof, it is the perfect place to lounge, sunbathe, and admire the beautiful sunsets. The chef is top-notch: we eat extremely well and in large quantities! It is very pleasant to chat and learn more about this beautiful country and this region. We discover wild places, swim in the Nile, and meet very welcoming Nubian families! Best experience on the Nile!!! Thank you!!!

Two magical days. - With Ahmed and Waleed, we spent two fantastic days. Ahmed is an exceptional cook and a very attentive person, and Waleed is a great captain. I highly recommend it. Even though it was hot, it was very comfortable on the felucca. Additionally, we took some dives in the Nile and went fishing. An unforgettable experience.
