Welcome Tea and Felucca ride on the Nile into the sunset. Genuine Egyptian dinner at the family home. Overnight.

For those who know how to, a wonderful horse-ride into the desert can be arranged from the stables on the west-bank. A mix of ancient history, culture, village life and leisure.

Night 4 and 5 Aswan/Abu Simbel
|
After breakfast transfer to Aswan and check-in at the hotel by noon.
We will enjoy this beautiful Jewel of Nubia. The island of Philae, Elephantine Island, the Nubian Museum and ‘Nubia House’ are only a few to mention. Walk through a Nubian village and if there happens to be a Nubian fiest, we will take you there as we ourselves love to be there. Also, a felucca ride into the sunset around the rocky shores of the various little islands will leave you dreaming for a while.
We take an early start with the 5 o’clock convoy through the desert to Abu Simbel. It will take approx. 3.5 – 4 hours one way. We will have around 5 hours at the site of one of the largest monuments in Egypt before joining up for the return-convoy to Aswan.
Overnight at the hotel in Aswan.
