What people are saying about The Nile

Somehow the communication hadn't worked. The "captain" was a bit irritated when we informed him that we had booked a 3 hour trip; he had assumed an hour. But once that was sorted out it was a very nice and smooth ride with a great sunset to finish.

Adam and his crew are excellent! We got lucky and had some wind and the sailing was great. If you are interested in a felucca trip when you are in Luxor, you can’t go wrong with these guys.
