Aswan Felucca Ride Tour on the Nile

In the late afternoon, a tour guide will collect you from your hotel in Aswan and take you to the Nile, where your Felucca awaits. Hop on the boat and unwind. Relax on the comfortable cushions and immerse yourself in the serenity of the Nile, which has sustained Egypt since ancient Pharaonic times.

Savor a refreshing beverage as you... gently glide down the river. The felucca will navigate to the Aswan Botanical Garden, also known as "Lord Kitchener's Island." This island was awarded to Lord Horatio Kitchener in the 1890s during his tenure.

The leader of the Egyptian army, Lord Kitchener, pursued his love for exquisite palms and plants by transforming the entire island into a magnificent botanical garden. Importing vegetation from the Far East, India, and regions of Africa, this 6.8-hectare area has transformed into a haven of exotic trees and plants, arranged in meticulously designed gardens.

The walkways were eventually acquired by the Egyptian government, which then utilized the area as a research facility to study various food and cash crops. Savor a stroll among the impressive Royal palm trees, Sabal palm trees, phonic palm trees, Ficus trees, and the lovely bougainvillea. Embark on your journey.

Sit back and observe the sun slowly setting behind the trees of Botanical Island, the nearby Elephantine Island, and the magnificent tombs of the Aswan Nobles, creating beautiful reflections. A sand dune by the Nile.

Return to the Nilebank and then proceed to your hotel in Aswan.
