You can take a four-hour private tour from Aswan to a Nubian settlement on Sohail Island. The tour will depart from Aswan. The trip will also include a boat ride, tea served in a typical Nubian home and a transfer from your hotel or cruise ship back to where you are staying. Learn about the region’s culture and history as you sail or drive around Elephantine Island in a traditional felucca or a more modern motor boat. Then use your free time to explore Elephant Island on your own. This trip is unlike anything else you’ve done before.

The exact time of departure will depend on where you are and will be confirmed by our tour guide or company representative. The trip will begin with a pick-up from your hotel or cruise ship, depending on where you are.

You will need to have access to a pier on the Nile in order to board a boat that will take you to Sohail Island. Depending on the water and weather conditions along the river, you can sail in a modern speedboat, or a traditional sailing boat called a felucca. You will pass Elephantine Island on your way to Elephantine Island. You can stop and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the Nile. When you get to Ehel Island, you will get off the boat and go to a typical Nubian house. There, you will be given a welcome cup of tea and learn about the history and culture of the Nubian people.

After spending some time at home, head out on your own to see more of the island. Talk to the people you meet as you walk through the beautifully colored settlements. You will all meet at the boat dock, from where you will leave to return to Aswan. This excursion will end around 6:30 pm when you will be transferred to your hotel or cruise ship.
