Felucca sailing is the quintessential Aswan experience you will never forget. These traditional wooden sailboats with lateen sails have glided silently on the Nile for thousands of years. Relax on comfortable cushions while a skilled Nubian sailor handles the sail, and enjoy views of Elephantine Island, Aga Khan Mausoleum, and Botanical Gardens. Sunset from an Aswan felucca is one of Egypt's most beautiful sights.
Prices for 1-2 hours negotiable. Sunset trips slightly higher
Late afternoon for sunset sailing. The golden hour light on the Nile and surrounding monuments is magical.
