Crowded. Dirty place on Banana island. Ugly view. No interest The only nice thing ? Captain of the Kristen boat and his boys. Nice. Smart. And smily team!!!!
We had a wonderful time. Great crew and a great guide. He even brought us to Karnak Temple afterwards and waited on us. The ride up the Nile was fantastic and there was even an option to swim in the Nile.
There was no wind during our Felucca trip so we pretty much got towed the whole way to Banana island. The guide didn't say anything during the trip, he was just checking his phone. Views were pretty nice so we did still like the boating part dispite all this. Some locals had captured a wolf, turtles, monkeys and crocodiles and were displaying them to the tourists in the banana island. They also made tourists to hold the poor turtle in their hands. If we would of known that there were captive animals in the island for tourists to take photos with, we would have not taken the whole trip at all.
We had a brilliant tour guide - Mohamed- who gave great information and made the whole trip very enjoyable. Highly recommend!
Es war nicht gut, Der Motorboot Fahrer guckte ganzen Zeit nur sein Handy, kein Wort über Banane Island erzählte gar nicht, ein junge hat uns nur gefahren. 68Euro ist viel Geld!
