Aswan is the best stretch of the Nile to sail: the river widens, breaks around granite islands and runs clear. A felucca at sunset around Elephantine and Kitchener's Island, with the desert on one bank and the Aga Khan's mausoleum on the hill, is the cheapest good hour you will spend in Egypt.
Board from the corniche around two hours before sunset and sail with whatever wind there is. Nubian tea aboard. Back alongside after dark.
Send us the dates and how many people are travelling, by WhatsApp or the form on this page. We reply with a written itinerary and a fixed price, usually within a few hours. Confirming is a message, not a payment.
No. We ask for no deposit and take no payment to hold a date. Nothing is charged when you book and nothing is payable in advance - you settle with us in Egypt once the trip is running.
Tell us and we will change it, or cancel it, at no cost. There is no cancellation fee and no deadline to worry about, because nothing has been paid up front. If plans shift while you are already here, we will rearrange what we can on the day.
The tourist regions are heavily policed and we work in them daily. Your guide stays with you at every site. If you are travelling alone, tell us - we will match you with a guide accordingly.
