Amazing weekend on the Nile - 3 day 2 night is the perfect length to sail along the Nile river, where JJ Jamaica exceeded the expectation. Our captain was Tarek and also Silimab who were very helpful and professional. Food was amazing too. The major plus is there’s a proper toilet on the felucca.

The best tour on felluca - Tarek and Siliman are the best crew you can sail with on the Nile! The boat is perfect, very cosy, and the food is excellent. The most recommended tour on felluca!

3-night trip on felucca Aswan-Gebel Silsila - 3-night trip on the felucca from Aswan to Gebel Silsila was defenitely the most amazing experience of our 20 days trip in Egypt. The crew, Shagy and Yusri, were incredibile in making us fully enjoying this very unique cruise on the Nile. The food also far excedeed our expectation: 3 always different and abundant meals per day, prepared with fresh ingredients and great care by Yusri on the boat, which resulted in some of the bests we had in the whole trip. An experience that we definetely advise!

Relaxed enjoyable sailing tour with best food - It was just wonderful! The Felucca was very nice and clean. Achmed speaks very good English and is an excellent cook. Together with Falid, they had the sailboat fully under control. The children (9 and 11) were also enthusiastic.

Felucca trip from Aswan - We had a fantastic time aboard a Felucca with Medo and Tahar. They made our experience so special with their warm hospitality and amazing cooking. Communication organising the trip was excellent. I can’t recommend this company enough. It was a highlight for us in Egypt

What happiness! - We spent 4 nights on the felouque with our guide and 3 crew members. An unforgettable experience😍. I was traveling against the advice of my doctors after a large infection of the small intestine, but the crew was great. Attention to perfect hygiene and delicious meals, with few means, but tasty and I had no problem. Sailing in the wind and current is so relaxing. The visits en route were strong, especially with a peasant offering us his dates and coming to greet us the next day with his donkey and a little 8 days old. Daraw remains a strong experiment too. Bridge crossings , sometimes technical (when no wind) take place in calm and control. Anyway! Recommended! A husband filled with the multitude of birds to photograph, he who does wildlife photography. Thank you for these 5 days of happiness!!

Awesome experience! - Our 3 night felucca cruise with JJ Jamaica was fabulous. We lived like kings. The 2 skippers were excellent sailors and amazing chefs. We stopped at temples, had a wild tuk-tuk ride through the market town of Daraw, and swam in the Nile every day. The beds were comfortable, the food was ample and delicious, and nothing was too much of a problem for the staff. A highlight of our trip to Egypt.

The best thing we did in Egypt - I can’t speak highly enough of this trip. My family spent 3 nights on a Felucca - my partner and 2 teenage girls. Our Captains, Meedhu and Euseree, were wonderful, the food was delicious, and the scenery was amazing. And it was so relaxing and comfortable lounging and sleeping on the massive lounge/bed area. This is a must do - the best thing we did in Egypt! So much better than the massive cruise ships pumping pollution and the Dahabyia which is mostly pulled using a tug boat.
