A Nile felucca in Cairo: cost and how to book it
EgyRoam's private Cairo felucca starts from $60 per boat for a two-hour sail with up to eight guests. This is a starting estimate, confirmed in a written quote; transfers and food extras are separate. Pay the agreed cash amount before boarding. The captain, boat, life-vest needs and weather conditions must be reviewed before confirmation.
A felucca offers a slower view of Cairo from the Nile. If you want sunset light, use the actual date when arranging the departure; a fixed clock time will not match sunset throughout the year.
Compare the boat, duration and extras
Ask whether a quote covers the whole private boat or individual seats, and whether its stated price is hourly or for the full sail. Agree the number of guests, duration, departure point, payment timing and any food or transfer extras before boarding. Another operator's dockside terms may differ from EgyRoam's offer.
How EgyRoam quotes it
Our listed starting estimate is $60 per boat for two hours and up to eight guests. Send your date and group details so the team can review the boat, captain, life-vest requirements and final price. Sailing remains subject to suitable river and weather conditions.
Review the private two-hour Cairo felucca for the current offer, extras and boarding arrangements before requesting a date.
Payment and preparation
For a confirmed EgyRoam sail, pay in cash before boarding, to the EgyRoam representative at the dock, in US dollars or the euro amount stated in your quote. Nothing is paid online. Share children's ages and mobility needs in advance so life vests and boarding can be checked, and confirm the departure pin, contact details and weather-related options before travelling.
