What you'll do

A Magical Journey Through Aswan's Timeless Beauty Step into a world where time slows down and nature and history flow together. The “Felucca on the Nile in Aswan” excursion offers you a serene and unforgettable journey through the heart of ancient Nubia and the unspoiled landscapes of the Nile. ..Your experience begins with a friendly greeting from our local representative at your hotel in Aswan. From there, you'll be guided to the banks of the Nile, where your traditional felucca—a graceful, sail-powered boat used since Pharaonic times—awaits. Sail into Tranquility Glide across the gentle waters of the Nile, where life moves with the rhythm of the wind. As you sail, take in breathtaking views of palm-fringed shores and golden sands. Your journey will cross beside Kitchener’s Island, home to the Aswan Botanical Garden—a lush oasis of exotic flora lovingly cultivated over generations. A Journey to Remember As the sun begins to dip toward the horizon, your felucca will carry you back across the river. The representative will accompany you safely back to your hotel, leaving you with the tranquil spirit of the Nile and memories that will last a lifetime.

Must Do

When in Aswan, you just have to go on a felucca tide. We chose the sunset felucca ride. Totally worth it and a nice evening activity before dinner. It is very peacefull and the organizer sails from a place were the Nile is wide. You sail until the sun has set and then return. Also very good communication for this trip. I booked it one day before the activity and got immediate confirmation.

Our Favorite Egypt Experience

There are two ways to enjoy the Felcuca ride—enjoy the peace and quiet on the river or ask the Captain many questions! We partook in both. Captain Safi was so kind and informative. The Nile was very serene the night we went. My husband asked as we walked away: “Should we get a sailboat?”

Wonderful

Wonderful experience visiting the Nubian Village! My tour guide Moataz was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed learning about Nubian culture and meeting the local people. Highly recommended!

10/10 plan

We had a great experience on this felucca ride in Aswan. The owner was really friendly, welcoming, and made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. The boat was really nice, clean, and comfortable, making it the perfect way to enjoy the Nile at sunset. The views were beautiful, and the whole experience was relaxing and enjoyable. We would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Aswan. 10/10.

Great Felucca ride with great company!

The felucca ride was great, and I would definitely recommend! Omar was very communicative via WhatsApp since the moment we booked the tour with him, and he provided very clear information and instructions. On the day of the tour, he picked us at the hotel on time, and he drove us to the dock where we met the boat Captain and his assistant. The felucca ride lasted 1.5 hours, and it was wonderful. They ride along the Nile river around the main island, and we were able to sightsee and enjoy a beautiful sunset. They also served us some tea (free of charge), and they brought us back to the dock where Omar was waiting for us to take us back to the hotel (the boat captain and Omar were in close communication via phone). No one asked us for a tip. The whole experience was great and worth it, especially for the price.
