Take a felucca to Kitchener Island to visit the Botanic Gardens in the company of a qualified Egyptologist guide. Enjoy the tranquility of the island and the freedom of being your own master of the schedule with the luxury of a private tour, from your vantage point on the felucca, you will see the Agha Khan Mausoleum, set on the top of a hill commanding an impressive view of the Aswan area. On the West Bank, the desolate hillside is speckled with the Tombs of the Nobles, which your professional Egyptologist guide will give a brief history as you sail by.

This is a felucca ride, taking approximately 20 minutes to Kitchener Island, the travel time is dependent on the current speed of the wind and the current Nile, but upon arrival, your guide will be able to escort you to Aswan Botanic Gardens. First stop at the small botanical museum before taking a leisurely walk around the peaceful gardens, host to many exotic species of plants and trees imported from all parts of the world. The Aswan Botanic Gardens form an oasis of peace away from the bustle of everyday Egyptian life, and many young couples and families from Aswan spend their days here on the island.

Returning to your felucca, you'll sail back to the East Bank of Aswan, sailing the currents and wind with the experience and knowledge of your local felucca captain on a very relaxed sail!
