Day 1 –Felucca Ride on the Nile in Aswan
Your trip begins with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel, cruise, or chosen meeting point. You’ll meet your friendly felucca captain, a skilled sailor who knows the Nile like the back of his hand.
Step aboard the felucca and feel the gentle sway as the sails fill with the wind. The boat glides silently along the Nile, away from the city’s noise, surrounded by the soft sound of rippling water.
Sail past Elephantine Island, a place rich in ancient history, and see the Botanical Garden on Kitchener’s Island, famous for its exotic plants and lush greenery. Keep your camera ready for picturesque Nubian villages along the riverbanks, with their colorful houses and warm smiles from locals.
If you choose a sunset sail, you’ll witness the sky over Aswan painted in shades of gold, orange, and pink, reflecting off the Nile’s surface — a perfect moment for photos and quiet reflection.
After your relaxing cruise, the felucca will return to the dock, where your driver will be waiting to take you back to your hotel or cruise ship, leaving you with beautiful memories of Aswan’s peaceful charm.
