Overview

In Aswan, you will relax aboard a traditional Egyptian felucca and enjoy a gentle sailing experience on the Nile. As the sailboat cuts through the water, you’ll feel the river breeze and take in peaceful riverside views while the boat makes its way around Elephantine Island. Along the way, you’ll have time to appreciate the island’s setting in the Nile and the calm atmosphere of the river. You will also visit the famous Botanical Gardens in Aswan. There you can stroll among the planted areas and enjoy the garden setting as part of the outing. The combination of a quiet felucca ride around Elephantine Island and a visit to the Botanical Gardens offers a relaxed, scenic way to experience Aswan’s riverside charm.
