Overview

In Aswan, your experience begins with a serene motor boat along the Nile. You will glide past riverside landscapes and ancient landmarks as the journey takes you to a charming Nubian Village. There, locals will offer a warm welcome and you will learn about their traditions, vibrant culture and the colourful houses that characterise the village. After time in the village, you will continue to Botanical Island, a lush oasis in the middle of the Nile. The island is home to a variety of tropical plants and some rare species. As you move through the gardens, you will see exotic flora and enjoy a peaceful natural setting away from the town. Along the way the itinerary blends cultural insight with riverside scenery and botanical interest, giving you a straightforward way to explore both Nubian culture and the natural beauty of Aswan.
