Late in the afternoon

our agent will pick you up from your Luxor hotel and bring you to the Nile bank, where your Felucca is waiting for you.

Board your boat and unwind on the plush chairs. Experience the peace and tranquillity of the Nile water, Egypt’s lifeblood since Pharaonic days. As you float along the river, sip a cold drink. Enjoy the fantastic scenes that have not changed in millennia, such as children playing in the water, camels and donkeys, farmers going about their work in the same ways they have for centuries, and admiring the water buffalo and a wide variety of birds. The felucca will sail to Banana Island, “an island covered with banana plantations,” where the boat captain will berth the felucca and take you on a short exploratory tour of the island, where you’ll be served a refreshing cup of traditional Egyptian tea and some of the sweetest, most delicious bananas you’ve ever tasted.

Continue cruising as the sun sets slowly over Luxor West Bank, taking in the sights of life as you sail up the Nile, returning to the Nile side, and then transfer to your Luxor hotel.
