Based in Luxor, Egypt, we offer a variety of exclusive packages sailing on the timeless River Nile on a traditional sailing boat called a felucca as well as a variety of holistic therapies while sailing. These therapies are conducted by qualified staff.
We offer a number of different sailing excursions ranging from a 1 hour taster trip to a multi-night excursion from Aswan in the south of Egypt, the gateway to Nubia, north towards Luxor. These extended sailings take in many of the temples and tombs on the banks of the River Nile as you sail.
Our boats are well equipped and extremely comfortable and we can be found opposite the Old Winter Palace Hotel, former home of King Farouk and featured in Agatha Christie's famous novel and film, Death on the Nile.
Relax on soft cushions with a cool drink by your side while you gently glide along the river. See the timeless river banks floating gently by, offering scenes that have not changed in millennia. Watch the farmers going about their work in the same ways they have done for centuries, see the children playing in the water, watch the camels, donkeys and water buffalo and a wide variety of birds and wildlife.
See the kingfishers darting into the water, watch the majestic kestrels soaring overhead, gaze at the sacred ibis of Egypt and watch the local fishermen in their tiny boats catching the fish. Experience the peace and tranquillity of this eternal river, lifeblood of Egypt since Pharonic times and gaze in awe at the magnificent sun, represented by the Ancient Egyptian god Ra, giver of life, as it slowly sets over the West Bank and the awesome Valley of the Kings.
Our motto is simple... Your wish is our command
