Felucca Sailing
Something as restful as sailing on the Nile in a felucca can hardly be termed an activity. Since the boatman does all the work, the only effort involved is negotiating rental rates. Most of the feluccas moored along the river bank opposite the Helnan Shepheard and the northern tip of Roda can seat eight people and charge GBPE20-30 per hour. Bring a picnic and lots of mosquito repellent. For rather less cost, you can join one of the boats just south of Maspero Dock, which do round trips to the Nile Barrages at Qanatir (GBPE5). Shorter jaunts are available on boats from the quay just north of Tahrir Bridge on Gezira Island (GBPE2 for 30min). For an even cheaper no-frills ride on the Nile, catch a river-taxi (25pt) from the Maspero Dock to Giza or Old Cairo or, on Fridays and Sundays, up to Qanatir (GBPE1.50).
