"I was just shocked to get what I got out of this tour. I never thought that I would get this much for the price I paid! The tour guides were brilliant, I will recommend Egypt Uncovered to everybody I know going to Egypt! Thank you for everything!"
Ms. J. Santolla (Temples, Tombs and Alexandria)

NILE CRUISES, FELUCCAS AND DAHABIYAS
Travelling by boat on the Nile is a very popular and enjoyable way of seeing Egypt. You see more of rural Egyptian life than if you were travelling by coach or flying, and the relaxed pace gives you a welcome break from the busy sightseeing you may be doing during the rest of your tour.
There are three different types of boats to choose from when you travel on the Nile, and which you prefer will depend both on your budget, and on whether you want a more luxurious or adventurous holiday.
|
Nile Cruise Boats |
|
|
The most popular way to travel down the Nile is on a luxury Nile cruise boat. These floating hotels have up to around 100 en-suite, air-conditioned cabins on board, with restaurants, bars, and spacious sun decks and plunge pools.

|
Felucca Sailboats |
|
|
Those looking for a cheaper and more adventurous trip on the Nile will love sailing on a felucca. These traditional Nile sail boats make for a very relaxing and fun way to travel, and you sleep on board the boat with your guide and Nubian crew.

|
Nile Dahabiyas |
|
|
These larger sailing craft have been around for thousands of years, and wall paintings of similar craft can be seen in ancient Pharaohs' tombs. Today, they provide a luxurious way to travel the Nile in style with just a few other lucky travellers.
