Tour Itinerary

The day begins with a pickup from your hotel or cruise in Aswan. Aboard a traditional felucca, you navigate the Nile’s waters toward the Island of the Plants, a botanical treasure founded in 1898. This oasis, known as the Aswan Botanical Garden, houses over 700 exotic species, from royal palms to tropical flowers. The English-speaking guide recounts its history, tied to Lord Kitchener, and its scientific significance, as you walk along pink granite paths amid lush vegetation. The botanical museum, with its dried specimens and seeds, reveals the legacy of this green paradise, visited by figures like King Farouk and Queen Elizabeth, a refuge where the Nile whispers tales of eternity.

The felucca then takes you to the Nubian Village in Gharb Soheil, renowned for its adobe houses painted in bright colors. This site offers a glimpse into local culture, featuring craft stalls, henna tattoos, and traditional music. The guide explains the historical context of the Nubians, their relocations following the High Dam’s construction, and their current way of life. Visitors can explore a small souvenir market and observe the typical architecture, an experience reflecting the region’s dynamic tourism
