A gentle half day on the water when you have had enough of temples. Traditional felucca upriver to a small island planted with bananas and mangoes, an hour walking under the trees, and the sail back with the current. Best in the late afternoon when the light is low and the river is quiet.
Board around 15:00 from the Luxor corniche. Roughly forty minutes upstream depending on wind, an hour on the island, and a slower sail back as the sun drops behind the Theban hills.
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.
