Overview
The story did begin, however, when one boarded the well-timed excitement of a traditional felucca while traveling along the sacred Nile River in Cairo. Feluccas are wooden sailing boats that have been used in Egypt for centuries. They are incredibly relaxing and it is a wonderful way to distance oneself from the noisy atmosphere of the city. You'll have a cool breeze on your body, taking in mind-boggling views of Cairo’s skyline, including modern landmarks and historic sites along the banks, as you glide over calm waters.
A ride on a felucca at sunrise when the world is painted in gold or the soft glow of sunset is perfect for that quiet moment of relaxation. Allow yourself to be rocked on the boat while you sip on a cup of traditional Egyptian tea whose herbs are included in a beautiful water bouquet, listen to the water's subtle sounds, and gaze at the water bodies of the Nile. It is ideal for couples, families, or people who want to take some time to escape into the heart of Cairo.
But more than that, a felucca ride tells you about Egypt's rich maritime heritage. Sail the way ancient Egyptians did; sail the rhythms of the wind and water. Whether it be a celebration, an occasion, or simply wanting to take a moment off everything, a ride in Cairo on a felucca is the best memory that indeed will be unforgettable when one thinks of seeing the city through a different perspective.
