I had considered a cruise but and am so glad I chose this Felucca. We are a small familiy and we all loved it. Captain Ahmed and Islam were the most gentle of men, a pleasure to have met them. The food was delicious and plentiful. Due to our flight times we stayed in Aswan on the first evening. Gamal, the owner, showed us around his homeplace, Elephantine Island, which was interesting. On the Nile, the stopping points in the evening were islands, which were safe and peaceful. We had refreshing swims.

- very nice felucca, just as we expected and well equipped (mosquito net, plaide, cushion) - Ahmed cooks very well, preparing good meals and breakfasts + often offers us tea and coffee - Kind and benevolent crew, especially during a swim in the Nile (especially when there were 2 of us girls). - Wonderful scenery: we saw lots of animals and greenery, a welcome change from the big city.

Sailing from morning until sunset was an enchanting experience filled with tranquillity and adventure. Equipped with a cosy blanket, pillow, mosquito net, and spray, every comfort was catered for. Our journey wasn't just about sailing; we stopped for refreshing swims and necessary toilet breaks along the way. What truly made this trip memorable was the opportunity to interact with the locals working in the fields alongside the Nile, engaging in conversations with farmers, and purchasing fresh vegetables for use in the meals on board. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were provided along with soft drinks. This was more than a sailing excursion; it was an adventure filled with breathtaking scenery and vibrant birdlife. From dawn till dusk, every moment was a reminder of the beauty and serenity of nature, making it an unforgettable experience.

A trip that exceeded my expectations in all respects. The Royal Viking offered a luxurious experience from its fittings and decor to its cuisine and the solicitous attention of its staff. Our cabin was super comfortable with great views from the sliding full length windows. The lounge and restaurant were very plush and the food was very good and varied. The staff were super attentive. The booking is with an agent, Mohammed, who organised everything for us, including our cruise and several excursions - to awesome temples en route and in Luxor, and the most magical balloon flight at the end in Luxor. Mohammed’s communication was excellent and he was responsive to every request. Recommended wholeheartedly.

Staying at Farah Camp (not a hotel or guest house, a felucca!) can be described as an unfiltered felucca experience with its positive and negative aspects. Let's start from the highlight, Mahmoud, an incredibly nice and smiling young man who is the captain, cook and tour operator of the boat. His positive energy will make your day! The felucca is directly on the Nile, just next to the Makani restaurant, and so, pretty conveniently located. We stayed two nights in Aswan as we did not want to leave the city, but you can arrange with them if you want to move. If you stay in Aswan, ask to move to another quieter location to sleep, as the original location can get pretty noisy overnight. For us it was the first experience on a felucca and we loved it. Having a coffee on the sundeck, slowly sailing down the Nile, or just looking out on the river life was a remarkable experience. There is a small stove on the boat, so Mahmoud can make you coffee or tea, or even cook you a dinner or lunch. The felucca has electricity, enough to charge your phone, but we would recommend to take a charged power bank.

Abdo took care of us like family. Arriving late, he waited to pick us up on his boat and we began a glittery quiet ride to the houseboat. The location was scenic with views from the boat to the botanical gardens. Egyptian nutritional breakfasts were served top-side. All excursions that the host arranged exceeded our expectations. One evening we floated down the Nile with him to the Nubian Village for a sunset view. Amazing.

Anakob was one of the best accommodations we had in this Egyptian trip. It’s such a beautiful, peaceful, relaxing and unique place to stay. We were so happy staying here for 4 nights. The location, the view, the service and the staff were amazing. Mahmoud was so professional, attentive and reliable. He helped us for all sorts of arrangements and kept checking on us to make sure everything went well. The boat, the room and everyone were so clean and nice. We do like the brand image as well. It’s highly recommended~~ such a wonderful life experience to stay at Anakob. Thank you, Mahmoud and the team, for having made such a wonderful memories for us. :)

was an absolute delight! From the moment we stepped onboard, we felt like royalty (though maybe slightly less formal—more like "pharaohs on vacation"). The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, solving any minor hiccups with a smile. When our room's A/C acted up, the crew responded faster than you can say "Cleopatra," ensuring we stayed cool and comfortable. The itinerary was perfectly planned, with visits to breathtaking temples like Philae, Kom Ombo, and Edfu. The guide was knowledgeable and had a knack for making history come alive with fun anecdotes—did you know the ancient Egyptians had their version of “weekend vibes”? The food was delicious, and the variety was impressive! Even my picky-eater companion was tempted to try dishes they'd never heard of before (spoiler: they loved everything). The highlight? Sailing on the Nile, sipping tea on the sundeck, and pretending to spot crocodiles (don't worry, none showed up). If you’re looking for an organized, relaxing, and fun-filled experience, this cruise is it. Bonus points for the company's comedic touch—every announcement came with a joke or a fun fact that kept the vibe light and enjoyable. Would I do it again? Absolutely! Though next time, I might try to bribe the captain for an extra day. 😉
