Tour Itinerary
Felucca Sail Among Aswan's Granite Islands
Board a traditional felucca near your hotel and sail out into the most beautiful stretch of the Nile in Egypt, where the river winds between smooth granite boulders and palm-covered islands. Glide past Elephantine Island and the Old Cataract Hotel, with the sand dunes of the West Bank and the Tombs of the Nobles above you on the hillside. The felucca relies on the wind, so your captain chooses the route to suit the day.
Aswan Botanical Garden on Kitchener's Island
Step ashore at Kitchener's Island, given to Lord Kitchener in the 1890s and turned into a lush garden of plants and trees from Africa, India and Asia. Stroll along shaded paths among palms, flowering trees and exotic species, listen for the many birds that nest here, and enjoy views across the river. Then re-board your felucca for a relaxing sail back to the Corniche.
