Short Felucca Trip on the Nile in Cairo

As a visitor from China, I was eager to experience Cairo beyond its ancient monuments. The Felucca trip arranged by Sphinx Tours was a delightful surprise and a perfect complement to my pyramid adventure. The flexibility to choose our start time was greatly appreciated. We opted for a sunset ride, and it was magical. Our guide picked us up promptly from our Giza hotel, and the drive to downtown Cairo was smooth. Boarding the Felucca, a traditional Egyptian sailboat, felt like stepping into a different world. The gentle lapping of the Nile against the boat and the soft breeze were instantly calming. As we glided along the river, Cairo's skyline transformed with the fading daylight, offering a unique perspective of this bustling city. Our captain was skilled and friendly, pointing out landmarks and sharing interesting tidbits about life on the Nile. The peaceful atmosphere on the Felucca contrasted beautifully with the energy of the city, creating a memorable experience. As night fell, the city lights reflected on the water, creating a mesmerizing scene. It was a side of Cairo I hadn't expected to see, and I'm grateful for this tranquil interlude in our action-packed trip. The return journey to our hotel was equally smooth. Overall, this Felucca trip was a highlight of our Cairo visit - a perfect blend of relaxation and cultural immersion. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cairo, especially after a day of intense sightseeing. Sphinx Tours once again delivered an exceptional experience

I'm from China and enjoyed this boat trip in Cairo. It was great that I could choose any time for the trip. It fit well with my busy day. A nice person from Sphinx Tours picked me up from my hotel in Giza. We drove to the river in Cairo. There, I saw the Felucca, a pretty Egyptian boat. I chose to go in the late afternoon to see the sunset. The boat ride was very calm. I loved the cool air from the river. It was nice to be away from the busy city. As we moved on the water, I saw both old and new buildings. It was beautiful. The man steering the boat told me interesting things about the Nile. I learned a lot. It was quiet enough for me to think and take good pictures. When it got dark, the city lights came on. It was like magic. The trip was not too long and not too short. After the ride, they took me back to my hotel safely. I felt happy and relaxed. If you visit Cairo, you should try this boat ride. It shows you the city in a new way. It's calm and pretty. I tell all my friends from China and other places to try it. It was a special night on the Nile that I'll always remember.
