Aswan to Kom Ombo: 2-Day Felucca Sail
A slower way north — sailing, not motoring, with the current down the Nile.
Life aboard a small sailing boat with basic facilities and a night camped on the riverbank. Boarding is over a plank, and there's no cabin to retreat to.
About this tour
A traditional felucca, sailed rather than motored, drifting north from Aswan with an overnight camp on the riverbank and arrival at Kom Ombo the next day — the slowest, quietest way to see this stretch of the Nile, with nothing on the schedule but the wind and the current.
Highlights
- ✦A full day and night sailing the Nile by felucca
- ✦Riverbank camping under the stars
