So I was under the assumption we would be riding a boat similar to what the ancient egyptians rode. It's just your standard sailboat. That is if there is enough wind for it. We had no wind that day, so we took a motor boat instead. Which at first I was a little disgruntle then I saw stranded feluccas/sailboats being towed by motorboats! The farm was nothing special, but the fruit was pretty delicious as well as the sunset over the Nile was gorgeous.
Khalid was a great guide. He spent time to explain everything and was a great conversationalist. It was nice ride and good cultural experience.
This tour would be best for a small group maybe including some drinks for the ride there and back. Otherwise it was fairly average.
