Overview

In Luxor, you will sail peacefully along the Nile on a traditional Egyptian felucca and make a visit to the charming Banana Island. The slow pace of the sail lets you enjoy the cool breeze and take in riverside scenes as you glide across the water. Along the way you will be able to observe everyday life on the Nile’s banks. On Banana Island you will have a chance to discover local life and taste fresh bananas grown on the island. The experience is unhurried and simple, focused on quiet moments by the water and small, local details rather than sightseeing rush. It provides a relaxing and authentic Nile experience that combines gentle sailing with a close-up impression of island life.
