Felucca Sunset Sail

Experience the timeless beauty of Aswan from the deck of a traditional felucca sailing boat as the day draws to a golden close. Board your felucca at the East Bank corniche and set sail on the Nile, catching the afternoon breeze. Your captain guides the wooden boat past the granite boulders of the First Cataract, the lush gardens of Kitchener's (Botanical) Island, and the dramatic cliffs of the West Bank topped by the Aga Khan Mausoleum. As the sun begins to set, the sky transforms into a canvas of orange, pink, and purple reflected in the calm waters of the Nile. Sip sweet hibiscus tea and enjoy freshly cut fruit while the silence of the wind-powered sail creates an atmosphere of perfect serenity. This is the quintessential Aswan experience — exactly as visitors have enjoyed it for centuries.
