Private Journey on the Nile

Your private felucca ride Aswan begins with a personal greeting from your dedicated Nubatia Tours guide, right at your hotel lobby or Nile cruise reception. We will escort you to a clean, comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, ensuring your short journey to the riverside is both relaxing and private. We handle all logistics, so you can simply anticipate the unique journey ahead. Upon arrival at the dock, your beautiful felucca boat will be waiting just for you, ready to cast off.

Stepping aboard this authentic wooden vessel, you’ll immediately notice what makes this experience different. Your felucca boat is moved only by the wind and the expert hand of your captain; there is no engine noise to break the spell of the Nile. As our local guide often says, “When the motor is off, you connect with the river.” This commitment ensures a completely quiet and undisturbed sail. Find a comfortable spot on the cushioned deck and feel the gentle motion of the water as your captain navigates the river’s currents with a lifetime of experience. You will drift past the lush, green shores of Kitchener’s Island and see the ancient history etched into the landscape of Elephantine Island. Look toward the West Bank for a magnificent, unobstructed view of the stately Agha Khan Mausoleum. As your sail concludes, you'll dock feeling refreshed, and your guide will be there to escort you back to your accommodation, full of quiet memories.
