In the late afternoon, your Luxor Local tour guide will fetch you from your hotel (Lobby area), and transport you to the banks of the Nile, where your Felucca awaits your voyage. Embark on your Nile Sailing journey on the Felucca and unwind on the comfortable cushions. Savor the serenity and stillness of the Nile waters which have been the lifeline of Egypt since the times of the Pharaohs. Sip a cool beverage as you softly float along the river. Observe the authentic Egyptian lifestyle unfold before you and take in the timeless scenery, children frolicking in the water, the camels and donkeys, the farmers pursuing their tasks in ways that have remained unchanged for ages, and marvel at the water buffalo and a profusion of birds. The felucca will navigate to Banana Island, a region enveloped with banana plantations. The boat captain will dock the felucca near the island and accompany you on a brief exploratory sojourn of the island, during which you’ll be treated to a rejuvenating cup of traditional Egyptian tea.
