About this tour

Overview
Step away from the world’s noise, and sail into stillness.
This full-day felucca journey from the morning to sunset is designed for
seekers, storytellers, and slow travelers — those who crave more than a tour.
You’ll drift on the sacred Nile aboard a private traditional sailboat, visit
Elephantine Island, meet Nubian elders, enjoy two mindful meals, and feel
the rhythm of Egypt not in its monuments, but in its water, silence, and people.
With soft winds, warm tea, reflective rituals, and beautiful company — this isn’t
just a day on the Nile.
It’s a gentle return to yourself.
