    It's very relaxing to make a boattrip at the Nile in the late afternoon, after a day of hard work by visiting so many antiquities. In Luxor you have a splendid view at the Luxor Temple and the town. We made a trip south to some islands. On our way we saw other boats and feluccas, papyrus, palmtrees, birds, small villages, cattle and fishermen.

    Rather a must do activity -All of the boatmen, along the Nile will offer you a Felucca ride at sunset. We actually took a Felucca ride through our hotel as it was convenient at the time and this cost 20LE each (2 GBP) for 1 hour, which we could have maybe got for cheaper, but we thought this was reasonable anyway. Many other Feluccas are on the Nile at this time of day, and can be amazing to see! We also saw the boatman’s helper climb to the top of the mast, tying up the sail as he went, just before we docked for the day.

    It is a must to walk along the Nile. There are so many boats to see. There are the huge cruise shops with paddle wheels. You can only envy those who can afford the time and money to see Egypt this way. Friends who have 'done' the trip enjoyed it- having a guide, the dressing up and fun and games, the belly dancers etc. But none of this is necessary to enjoy the Nile. Small boats and feluccas are within most people's pockets, and more enjoyable. And if not, just walking along and enjoying the view of the pink hills of the west bank is a pleasure in itself. An interesting book with nice illustrations is "Letters from Egypt" by Florence Nightingale. Yes, the same Florence Nightingale who made nursing a respectable profession. This is one book I do not regret having bought here in Egypt.

    We had a three hours 'sail' to Banana Island. I write 'sail', because there was too little wind and we were twice pulled by a motorboat and on the way back we drifted on the current and had to row. In this way it can easily been done in two hours. But, we're on holiday and needed the time to relax. And it was somewhat cooler on the water. After the first pull, we rested on the shore and made some tea. 'The wind will come', the captain said. Then we tried to get another hike and after some time we managed to attract the attention of a motor boat. We were dropped at the Banana island - 20 pounds again - which is a lovely place. Full of fruit trees. We watched the sun setting on the southern most tip. Then we had some of the best banana's ever. Banana's with much flavour, a good bite and smell. Then it became dark fast and we slowly drifted back to Luxor, now and then some wind, but not enough and the crew had to row. There were a number of very noisy boats on the Nile. Paid 45 euro's, it was worth it, but it was our first full day in Aegypt, so I had still somethings to learn.

  • Directions: We started on the West Bank, there are a number of boats, but Jamaica's captain speaks good English, is great fun and has a lot of experience.

    There is so much to see and so much to do in Luxor you soon get weary, so take time out and go for a sail. You can hire a felluca for an hour or two and just lie back and admire the scenery from your boat while the countryside rolls by. It can cost as little as 30 - 40 Le's for an hours sail or if you are in a romantic sort of mood, take your trip to coincide with the sunset. Luxor's sunsets can be really spectacular.

    Hop on a motorboat, (Felucca if it is breezy enough), and get on down to Banana Island. Its a well known local spot and once you get on the Island it's like being in the middle of the Jungle. Slap on plenty of repellent because mozzies love this Island. It costs LE5 to get on, sometimes its free but they will cut bananas off the tree and give you a try. Wonderful!! Don't forget pens for the kiddies and toffees or spearmint. Great!! Don't forget to say hi to Mr Lovely!!!

    I have been going several times on the GOLD FINGER fellucca with captain Volaa. He is a shy and wonderful guy, he loosens up a little bit after a while, if you like company he will talk in a funny but polite way with you, and if not he will leave you alone - that is what makes him different! If you are after really special treasure souvenires, go to banana Island. Zoo, ice Cream or lunch can be done at movenpick island. For a bottle of Stella Beer is Ali Baba Island the place to go. But the real attraction is anyway the Nile and the view of the west bank, specially at sunset time. Captain will make you a glass of tea. Enjoy!

    I took felucca for an hour in Luxor at see the sunset for 30 EGP. The boatman will make tea for you on the felucca to enjoy the sunset. Of course it comes with a fee or high expectation of tip in return. See more pics for sunset.

    After exhausting sightseeing, the boat ride can be a very pleasant and relaxing experience. Enjoy as the sights of Luxor as they pass by. The breeze will chill you of and give you the strength to go on in exploring the rest.
