Overview
A Felucca, possibly originally from ancient times, is a traditional wooden sailing boat, made according to a traditional design, with broad canvas sails. Essentially, the craft is reliant on wind-power with no motor, so itineraries are subject to change from time to time. The Felucca carries up to 10 persons comfortably and the deck is strewn with soft, colorful cushions and rugs and equipped with a canopy that offers shade and protection from the sun.In the time of the Pharaohs the Felucca was a big part of everyday life as it was used for transportation, and to carry stones.
