Please do not expect the hotels to be of a western 4 star standard. Some hotels are clearly 3-4 star, and some are closer to 2-3 star, however they are chosen for their position, cleanliness and comfort.
Felucca cruise - this is a traditional and basic sea-craft with broad canvas sails. The craft is mainly reliant on wind power, and so itineraries are subject to change according to the winds. The felucca carries 2 to 10 people, and the main deck is strewn with soft cushions and rugs, and covered by a canopy that offers shade and protection from the sun. You will need to bring your own sleeping bag (not provided) to sleep on the mattresses on the main deck. The main deck area has a low roof which means that you cannot stand up fully, and moving from one side of the boat to the other is a hands and knees crawl or low hunched walk. Meals are taken in the centre of the main deck area sitting down with no back rests. There is a communal shower/toilet on board with no shower curtain or separate shower stall - we suggest bringing a wash cloth and using the sink as a courtesy to your fellow passengers.
