"Felucca" is the Arabic word for a sailing boat made of wood, and sailing by felucca is undoubtedly one of the best ways to travel the Nile, especially at sunset. Feluccas have one great Latin sail attached to a mast at the stem and can be steered single-handed. In Southern Egypt most of the felucca sailors are Nubian and dress in their traditional full length Egyptian shirts – the ‘galabiya’. These ancient boats usally ferry between Aswan and Esna, Edfu or Kom Ombo and the journey is silent, slow and calming. The visitor can drink in all of the enigmatic Egyptian sights and sounds whilst drifting along the country’s legendary lifeline river.
