Your journey starts at the Nile riverbank as the captain edges the felucca into the shimmering river. You'll particularly appreciate the comfy felucca cushions, the absence of noise and crowd, the starry skies lending their light, and the soft whistle of the gentle breeze.
From the Nile, you can see the city lit up by a thousand street lights and the reflections pooling out from the windows.
As you go, enjoy the cozy atmosphere and use the moment to have light conversations as you take in the evening. Sometimes, the captain chips in, showing you some of the beautiful structures like the Elephantine Island and the Aswan botanical gardens.
Don't forget to take along some wine or local Nubian tea if you'd love to sip while the boat sails. There'll be delicious delicacies for dinner, so you can have a full night out experience on the felucca. If your tour includes a stop at a Nubian village, then you can also explore the home-style food and enjoy conversations with the locals.
As you sail around, you may see one or two feluccas drift by, but it's nothing dramatic. The atmosphere on the waters remains undisturbed. It gives you a space to relax and enjoy a peaceful evening, whether alone or with your spouse, family, and friends. We've heard people say it's the perfect romantic atmosphere to have conversations of a lifetime.
