Experience the timeless beauty of the Nile on this Felucca Tour to Elephantine Island in Aswan, combining traditional sailing with the fascinating history and peaceful atmosphere of one of Egypt's most important Nile islands.
Your experience begins with pickup from your hotel, Nile cruise, or accommodation in Aswan. Meet your local captain and travel to the riverside, where a traditional Egyptian felucca will be waiting for you. Step aboard the wooden sailing boat and begin a relaxing journey across the Nile.
As the felucca moves gently with the wind, enjoy beautiful views of Aswan's riverbanks, desert landscapes, granite rocks, and surrounding islands. The slow pace of the traditional sailing boat gives you plenty of time to relax, take photographs, and enjoy the fresh Nile breeze.
Your destination is Elephantine Island, an archaeological island located in the Nile at Aswan. The island was historically an important gateway between Egypt and Nubia and contains remains dating back thousands of years. The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities highlights the remains of the ancient temples of Khnum and Satet, the ancient Nilometer, old houses, and a museum on the island.
After reaching Elephantine Island, enjoy time to explore the archaeological area and discover the remains of the ancient settlement. Learn about Khnum, the ram-headed god associated with the Nile's annual flood, and Satet, a goddess connected with the southern frontier and the Nile inundation. The island also preserves evidence of ancient daily life and religious traditions.
Visit the historic Nilometer, which was used to monitor the level of the Nile, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings of the island.
After exploring Elephantine, return to your felucca for the sailing journey back to Aswan. If you choose a late-afternoon departure, you can enjoy beautiful sunset scenery over the Nile.
This experience is ideal for couples, families, friends, photographers, and travelers looking for a peaceful combination of traditional sailing, ancient history, and authentic Aswan scenery.

I am 6 feet tall and 220 lbs. This shirt fit me perfectly in the chest and shoulders. My only complaint is that it is so long! I like to wear polo shirts untucked. This shirt goes completely past my rear end. If I wore it with ordinary shorts, you probably wouldnt be able to see the shorts at all – completely hidden by the shirt. It needs to be 4 to 5 inches shorter in terms of length to suit me. I have many RL polo shirts, and this one is by far the longest. I dont understand why.

The shirt was not the fabric I believed it to be. It says Classic Fit but was made like the older versions, not the soft cotton like my others. I don’t understand how the labels are the same but a completely different shirt. Oh well, stuck with it now.
