About this tour

The cheapest hour of pure Luxor: a wooden boat, one boatman, the wind, and the light on the water and the West Bank. Book it for the evening of your temple day.

Pickup 30 minutes before sailing. The felucca leaves from the Corniche below the Winter Palace or your cruise boat. The boatman sets the lateen sail and tacks upstream towards Banana Island with Luxor Temple and the Corniche on one side and the palm groves of the West Bank on the other.

Tea, karkade and biscuits are served on board. The sun sets behind the Theban hills, the balloons' launch fields and the Colossi in the far distance, and the boat drifts back with the current as Luxor Temple's floodlights come on.

Drop-off at your hotel or boat. Longer sails (two hours with a stop at Banana Island) or a private dinner on board can be arranged.

Una hora perfecta

Por 30 euros, una hora en faluca privada al atardecer con té a bordo. El sol se puso detrás de las montañas de Tebas y las luces del templo de Luxor se encendieron a la vuelta. Recogida en el hotel incluida.
