You will be picked up from your place in Aswan and taken to the Botanical Gardens by taking a felucca ride on the Nile to reach the island.
Enjoy the history of the island. Enjoy with our guide the history of the Botanical Garden, as he will first tell you about the archaeological history of this garden, which represents an unprecedented panorama of beauty. It was formerly called Natron Garden, then the British took it in the late nineteenth century for military purposes, and established a large military base in it, and named it Saradar Island after the British governor, the army commander Lord Kitchener, who established it. During the reign of King Fouad I, a new change occurred to its name, so it became known as King’s Island until 1952 AD, i.e. the Egyptian Revolution in July, when the late President Gamal Abdel Nasser ordered its name to be changed again, and it was called the Botanical Island, which has remained the same to this day.
At the end, you will return to your hotel or cruise in Aswan after the end of our private tour
