Tour Itinerary

Begin your experience with a pick-up from your hotel, followed by a short drive to the riverbank where your traditional felucca awaits. Step aboard this charming wooden boat, relax on comfortable cushions, and let the gentle breeze guide you as you sail along the Nile.

As you glide across the water, enjoy the sights of local life—children playing along the banks, farmers working their fields, and birds soaring above. Keep an eye out for water buffaloes grazing at the river’s edge, adding a rustic touch to the scenery.

Your journey leads you to Banana Island, a peaceful oasis filled with lush greenery and tropical plants. Take a leisurely walk through the island, sampling fresh bananas and enjoying Egyptian tea or coffee as you soak in the natural beauty.

As the day draws to a close, watch the sky light up with golden and crimson hues, reflecting the tranquil mood of the river. The ride back to Luxor gives you one last chance to relax and appreciate the timeless beauty of the Nile.
