Sunset Cruise by Traditional Felucca with Luxor Temple by Night
Your evening begins with a convenient pickup directly from your hotel or cruise ship in Luxor in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle as you are driven down to the riverbank. Here, you will step aboard a traditional wooden felucca to glide along the Nile’s rippling waters during the golden hour. As the sails catch the wind, your local expert tour guide will bring the horizon to life with stories of ancient Thebes, its archaeological treasures, and the legendary rulers buried nearby. While you listen, you will savor a true taste of Egypt, enjoying fresh, delicious bananas cultivated right in Luxor’s fertile river soil, alongside complimentary snacks, soft drinks, and bottled water. Your serene cruise docks near the magnificent Luxor Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the best-preserved ancient monuments in the world. You will disembark and walk up to the temple to marvel at its massive columns, colossal statues, and intricate relief carvings, all brilliantly illuminated against the night sky. Your guide will share the history of the site, including the story of the lone standing obelisk at the entrance and its twin, which stands in Paris's Place de la Concorde. After an incredible evening of sailing and exploration, you will be transferred smoothly back to your hotel or cruise ship
