A More Personal Way to Sail the Nile

Explore
Aswan.
The Nile moves slower here. Sail a felucca, visit a Nubian village, and don`t plan too much.
What to expect
The Vibe
If Cairo is the mind of Egypt, Aswan is the heart. The pace drops entirely. The Nile is at its most beautiful here, weaving through amber-coloured granite boulders and palm-fringed islands. It is a place to sit back and watch the river.

Must See
Insider's Guide
The slow art of sailing
Take a private felucca ride to Elephantine Island just before sunset. The late afternoon light turns the river gold, and the slow, rhythmic pace of the wind-powered sail is the true essence of Nubian calm.
Local Experience
The Sun Miracle
Venture south to the monumental temples of Ramses II at Abu Simbel. Standing before the colossal statues carved directly into the mountain is deeply profound, especially at dawn when the light hits the stone.
