The meeting point for your felucca ride is at Kornish El Nile, directly in front of the Aswan Sporting Club.

By Car/Taxi: Tell your driver to take you to "Aswan Sporting Club on Kornish El Nile." You’ll find our felucca and guide waiting by the riverbank across from the club entrance.

Landmarks Nearby: Look for the Aswan Sporting Club building as your landmark. The felucca and tour guide will be easy to spot right across the road along the Nile.

Once you arrive, our guide will greet you and lead you to the felucca to begin your relaxing journey on the Nile!

Things to note

Meeting Time: Please arrive 10-15 minutes before the scheduled departure time to ensure a smooth start to your tour.

Payment & Tipping: Any remaining payments can be made in cash upon arrival. Tips for the guide and captain are optional but appreciated.

Personal Belongings: While the felucca is secure, we recommend keeping an eye on your belongings. A small bag for personal items is ideal.

Refreshments: Bottled water is provided, but feel free to bring additional snacks or beverages if you'd like.
