Royal Cleopatra and Blue Cataract Feluccas as local Egyptian sailing
boats type vessel, officially called a sandal , is modestly furnished
and crewed by it's own private staff of 5 members: Captain, Sailor,
Chef, Housekeeper, and Resident Tour Guide. There are exactly two cabins
on-board the vessel, each with its own bathroom.
Normally, we have the resident tour guide stay on-board with our guests,
in the rear guide's cabin. However, and upon your request , for added
privacy while you are on board , we would ask the resident tour guide
to meet you at all sight seeing excursions along the way.
In addition, the craft is powered by sails only. We have a private tug
boat (Called Garrar - In Arabic!) that would accompany you along the
way, in-case of wind loss.
Although a very ancient way of traveling the Nile ( i.e. Felucca Style)
- Felucca, Sandal, and Dahabia Private Charter has become a growing
trend for vacationing in Egypt. Especially for those repeat customers,
that want a new experience (rather than a typical Nile Cruise).
