Take the trip of a lifetime with serenity and unforgettable moments along the timeless Nile River aboard a traditional sailing vessel called a Felucca in Aswan. This peaceful ride provides a glimpse of the river itself and the different cultural history that has shaped life for thousands of years.

The soft breeze that greets you upon entering this classic wooden felucca will bring with it the scents of the river and the sounds of nature. You glide by the greenery of Elephantine Island, teeming with ancient ruins and historical artifacts, or explore the Botanical Gardens on Kitchener Island with their host of tropical plants and trees. The smooth gliding of the boat and endless views from the river will form an excellent frame for rest and reflection.
