      Feluccas are simple, traditional Egyptian sailboats. They carry between 8-12 people comfortably. The boat's deck is draped with soft colourful cushions that serve as your lounging and meal area during the day and as your sleeping area at night. You need to bring a towel and can opt to bring a sleeping bag/sleeping sheet. You can hire a freshly laundered winter warmth blanket for USD$15 for the 2-night stay.

    Vicki

    Asked on August 13th, 2022

    Do I have to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19, to join your group tours? Or any other requirements, regarding COVID-19?

    Travel Support
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written August 2022

      At this time, we do still require all persons over 18 years to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination if travelling to a limited number of destinations, including Egypt. As our highest priority is the health and safety of our travellers, crew and local communities, passengers are required to be fully vaccinated when travelling with us to countries that are still in the early stages of vaccinating and managing COVID outbreaks. This practice also ensures that we are not adding avoidable strain to any country's healthcare system, where resources remain under pressure. If you are unwilling or unable to be vaccinated for medical reasons, you may apply for an exemption, which will be assessed on an individual basis. To apply, we ask you to provide supporting documentation from a medical professional to our Customer Care for review.

  • M

    Michele

    Asked on August 8th, 2022

    We would like to know which hotels you use for the accommodation. Is there any difference between the standard hotels you use and the ones of the upgrade?

    Accommodation
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written August 2022

      On the Essential Egypt - 10 days tour we use 3-4 star hotels, the exact hotels will only be confirmed closer to departure. For the upgraded King Tutankhamun - 10 day tour we use 4-5 star accommodation.
