Tour Overview
Discover the serene beauty of Aswan aboard a traditional Egyptian felucca, where time slows and the Nile whispers its ancient stories. With Royal, you’ll enjoy a peaceful one-hour sail around Elephantine Island, paired with a visit to Aswan’s lush Botanical Gardens, a perfect escape into nature and heritage.
Your experience begins with pickup from your hotel or Nile cruise. Step onto a felucca, its canvas sail catching the breeze as you glide across the calm waters of the Nile. Take in panoramic views of Aswan’s islands, Nubian villages, and gentle palm-lined banks.
Dock at the Botanical Gardens, a green oasis filled with exotic plants collected from around the globe. Originally owned by Lord Kitchener in 1899, the island was once a colonial rest stop, now transformed into a vibrant sanctuary managed by Egypt’s Ministry of Agriculture.
Stroll through shaded walkways, breathe in floral scents, and experience a rare side of Aswan—calm, colorful, and deeply rooted in history.
After the tour, you’ll be comfortably transferred back to your hotel or cruise.
