Welcome! I will make sure you will feel at home on this fantastic boat, and I will help you with anything during your stay. Feel free to ask me anything! There are just 2 rooms on the boat, so it's quiet and calm. You can either stay in one place (our standard spot is just across the botanical garden at Elephantine Island) or we can go to different places! Please contact me to discuss options! I can also organise different tours within Aswan, like kayaking, bird spotting, Philae Temple, Aboe Simbel, Nubian Museum or Nubian village. Here's an example if you want to go sailing: Day 1: Check in Edfu at 1 pm, visit the temple, and spend the night in Edfu. Day 2: Sail to Kom Ombo. Visit the temple. Spend the night. Day 3: See Kom Ombo, sail to Aswan, check out at 5pm. Kayak Trip: Two nights from aswan until selsela temple, Srart at morning with kayak two or three hours after stop for lunch and take rest after lunch and start again in sunset time two hours and dock the boat at have dinner. Second day Start after breakfast take the Kayak cruising in the magic view and watching birds in the Nile,stop after two hours take lunch and rest , Start again in sunset time couple hours and dock in selsela temple. In morning check out after breakfast at 8:00 a.m .
Hello! I'm a very helpful and friendly person and want to make you feel welcome in Egypt!
Our standard spot is just across the botanical garden at Elephantine Island, but as mentioned, we can also sail to different places, like Edfu, Esna, Kom Ombo or Luxor!
