About this experience

Not another Nile trip — live the river as travelers have for millennia. While big boats rush by, slow down on a traditional felucca and let the Nile set the pace.

Sleep on mattresses under the stars, hearing only water and the Milky Way. Feel the gentle sway of the felucca as the Nile breeze cools your skin. By day, sail past golden cliffs, palm groves and villages. We stop at islands to swim, walk or ride donkeys on desert paths. Children run to greet visitors.

Our route includes Edfu’s Temple of Horus, Gebel el Silsila, Kom Ombo, Daraw’s camel market and Aswan. Each stop has magic — ruins carved in rock and lively, colorful markets.

Sunrise and sunset are unforgettable as the sky shifts from gold to pink to violet, the river reflecting it all. Evenings bring shared meals, laughter and the joy of being on the water.

This journey means leaving routine and noise behind to experience Egypt slowly and authentically. By the end you won’t just have seen the Nile — you’ll have lived it.
