Step aboard a traditional felucca for an hour on the Nile around Aswan’s river islands. The sail passes Elephantine Island, long connected to trade at Egypt’s southern frontier, and continues near Kitchener’s Island and its botanical garden. With no motor noise, the pace depends on the wind, leaving time to watch the granite shoreline, passing boats and city waterfront. Pickup, return transportation, bottled water and the felucca ride are included, making this an easy addition to a day in Aswan.
