4 Days Felucca Tour to Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples From Aswan

The traditional sailboats of Egypt's Nile, known as feluccas, offer a relaxing and popular way for both locals and tourists to enjoy the refreshing breeze, whether during the day or at night.

For centuries, the felucca has remained a key mode of transport along the Nile. Its timeless design, dating back to the Pharaohs, still graces the river today. While motorized barges handle bulk cargo and modern cruise ships cater to tourists, the felucca continues to be a vital presence. Typically without an engine, these boats rely solely on the river's current and the breeze, which strengthens during the day and often eases in the evening. They can sail upstream with Egypt's northerly winds and smoothly return downstream with the current.

On this unique tour, you’ll visit the Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples. Kom Ombo Temple sits on elevated ground with views of the Nile, while Edfu Temple, dedicated to the god Horus, is regarded as Egypt's best-preserved temple.
