The Felucca trip was absolutely perfect. The two captains were absolutely lovely and professional and we had an amazing time cruising on the Felucca with them for 2 days.

It was just me and my husband on the Felucca with bathroom... it was beautiful! We stopped a couple of times to bathe in the cold waters of the Nile, we visited the Daraw camel market and the Kom Ombo site... but the added value was the presence of captain Mhamed and the cook and sailor Hussien! Two special people with whom we spent pleasant days.. Thank you for everything, an experience that I recommend to everyone👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Fantastic trip on the Nile. If you want to really experience the Nile take a trip back in time on a lovely felucca. Mustafa and his crew were amazing hosts. Shaaban’s food was authentic and excellent. Heshm always assured we had smooth sailing. The boat is very comfortable. The best part is becoming family with the wonderful staff.

Beautiful trip on the Nile, great views, very tasty food and comfortable cushions for lounging. Also extremely pleasant staff (Tarik and ...) who take care of everything and with the greatest respect for the group present. Wonderful experience, highly recommended!

Amazing trip, friendly crew and good homemade food. Very good organisation of the trip, JJ Jamaica crew know their job, the Felucca is in good condition and also has toilets even if they’re really small we were happy to have this convenience. Mosquito nets and blankets for the night. We only spent one night on the felucca, so JJ Jamaica organized our pick up at kom Ombo to join Luxor at a very good price. I would recommend the experience.

Our (3 adults, 2 children aged 12 and 8) three-night private felucca trip from Aswan to near Edfu was unanimously chosen as the highlight of our three-week Egypt trip!
Cruising along the Nile was bliss, it is such a peaceful and tranquil way to travel. Our crew of Ahmed, Wally and another guy looked after us extremely well. We spent most of the time chilling out on the boat, watching the Nile and scenery go by. We did a bit of light reading, played some games, went up on the top deck too. It was a lovely escape from the hustle and bustle. The stops on the way were interesting - exploring Kom Ombo temple, getting a taste of local life in Daraw village (Ahmed walked us in, showed us around and bought us some fresh bread) and the beautiful Gebel El Silsila. The lunch and evening mooring stops were all stunning, mostly on sandy Nile beaches, with the opportunity for a swim in the Nile if you wanted. In the evening we watched the sunsets and did a bit of stargazing which was an extra special experience.
The sailing was very calm and even. I had been mildly concerned about my 8 year old on a boat for three days - but life jackets were available if we wanted one and there was enough stability (and my daughter was sensible enough) that we didn't make use of them.
Ahmed made some really delicious meals that even won over our picky 8-year-old. He was able to cater really well to us all being vegetarian. It’s impressive what can be done in a tiny kitchen! Water was provided and we had the opportunity to purchase (inexpensive) soft drinks at the start of the trip if we wanted - which were kept lovely and cool.
The boat was spacious, comfortable, and kept very clean by the crew. Having a (western style) toilet was really appreciated and was also kept super clean by the crew throughout the trip.
At night they wrapped the boat with material and provided plenty of comfy blankets. We didn't need mosquito nets but I think they were available if we wanted. The crew slept in a separate area in the front of the boat and one was on the roof - we always felt safe.
Looking back, we couldn't be happier with our choice. Opting for the felucca over other options was definitely the best decision — the dahabiya boats we saw were all being towed by noisy tugs (apparently this is the norm) and the cruise ships were hugely noisy too. The felucca trip gave us a peaceful and authentic taste of Nile life that we'll be reminiscing about for years to come.
If you're after a amazing Egyptian adventure, don't think twice about booking a felucca trip with JJ Jamaica —it's an definite must-do!

It was 2 days out of time. Communication with Tareq before departure was very smooth. The boat is very clean. We feel safe all the way. There is everything you need to feel at home. Tareq is an excellent cook in addition to being a captain and a musician.
We visited a temple. We could have gone swimming if we wanted or visited the souk or the camel market.
The experience was unforgettable. One of the best moments of our vacation!

Very good communication in advance via email.
We arranged through them:
- the boat and camel excursion to the monastery, the tombs of the Nobles, the botanical island and the Nubian village.
- We also arranged a guided trip to Abu Simbel and Philae with them
- 2 nights and a day on a felucca on the Nile that took us from Aswan to Daraw + Kom Ombo + Edfu with guide. About the captain and his crew: what sweet and warm people!
-Transport to Luxor,
So everything was in tip top condition and all agreements were fulfilled flawlessly. Wonderful, such a partner!
