To make your Egypt holiday the most relaxing and exiting you must go on one of the Nile cruises. There are typically three types of Nile cruises which are offered by travel companies, they are Felucca, Dahabiyaas and Cruise ships. Let's see how they are different from each other:

Felucca: is a small Egyptian boat which can occupy a small group of people. They are available at cheap rates and are best for short duration trips, especially from Aswan to Luxor. They offer you the flexibility to stop at as many places as you want for longer time period. It is just like your private boat. However, the disadvantage of Feluccas is that from safety point of view they are not very safe and people on board might fall in the river easily. But they are ideal for an intimate and fun sailing.

Dahabiyaas: are the traditional Egyptian boat which are larger, better and safer than the Feluccas. They are considered the most expensive Nile cruises boat because of the privacy, amenities and services that is provided on these boats. Dahabiyaas are very luxurious and offers private cruising across Nile allowing you to stop at more places.

Cruise Ships: are the most popular and taken form of Nile cruises. The reason behind its popularity is the packages that it offered by them which fit in all types of budget be it low or high. The standard cruise ships have all basic amenities and the luxurious ships have fine world class service with many fun activities to keep the tourist entertained.
