A great way to experience a Nile sunset or to cool off during the hottest part of the day, is to take a felucca (yacht) cruise upriver from where you will get great views of Luxor and traditional rural life on the west bank. A walk along the Corniche will invariably be accompanied by many offers of felucca trips, which should be tried at least once. Take protection against mosquitoes if going at dusk.
