Felucca Trails
We begin in Cairo, where we spend a morning exploring the great pyramids and the nearby Sphinx before taking the overnight train to Luxor. Here we have ample time to check out the bazaar and the numerous sights on the east bank. Crossing the Nile, we ride donkeys up into the Valley of the Kings and later we continue our journey to Aswan.
Aswan has an easygoing charm and we soon find ourselves slipping into its laid-back rhythm. While here we head out on a traditional felucca, sailing around the islands and on the far bank we can ride camels to the Monastery of St. Simeon - always great fun! We then continue upriver to a nearby Nubian village where we enjoy some local specialities for dinner.
Back in Cairo, we have a free day for further exploration and most of us will head to the fabulous Khan al-Khalili Bazaar. Our trip ends in Cairo.

This trip was the best holiday I've ever had! The tour gave us the opportunity to partake in variety of amazing activities like a hot air balloon ride, an overnight stay in a felucca, a donkey ride and camel rides! However, the best part of the tour, was our fantastic guide Hassaan. His vast knowledge of ancient Egypt and his ability to explain and impart this to us, made our experience all the more enjoyable and memorable.
