Itinerary and highlights
Begin with a convenient, air-conditioned hotel pick-up to a traditional wooden felucca dock along the Aswan riverbanks.
Experience a romantic Nile lunch as you sail past the ancient temples and lush riverbanks, where the golden hues of the setting sun make the scenery even more enchanting, offering an authentic taste of Egyptian culture.
Drift past Elephantine Island, one of the most historic islands in Aswan, and take in panoramic views of the river and surrounding landscape.
Continue toward Kitchener’s Island, home to the Botanical Gardens, an island transformed in 1899 by Lord Kitchener into a lush sanctuary of rare and exotic plants collected from across the globe. Your experience concludes with a comfortable return transfer to your hotel or Nile cruise.
