Adventure on the Nile ( Classic and Safari trip )

A felucca is a traditional small lateen-rigged sailing ship, about 12m long and 4m wide. Our felucca has a keel, which allows it to tack across the current. You will spend your days on board on our comfortable deck cushions, watching the river bank scenery glide past. We moor at small islands to allow you to swim or go for a stroll. We take you on walks through villages and plantations and along the fringes of the desert. The children in the villages are always particularly delighted to see guests. If you wish to bring them small gifts, pens or crayons are suitable. Instead of walking, you can also travel by donkey.Enjoy some impressions of a felucca Nile cruise

`Accompanied by a support boat, we travel from Edfu to Aswan. We will be happy to stop at any of the sights along our route. Our tour guide is a knowledgeable and experienced Egyptologist and will accompany us for an additional fee, or guides at the individual temples will explain the special features of the sites for a tip. You will spend the nights on comfortable mattresses on the felucca or the companionship, in a curtained berth for privacy. Or you can sleep under the stars on the roof of the companion ship. Hygiene: The River Nile is your bath – or we are happy to set up a shower cabin on shore for you.
