The Lost Kingdom

Breakfast on the Felucca then sail back to the Nubian Village. First we will sail to Suheil Island to visit the Famine Stela which is a Pharaonic inscription that tells the story of a seven-year period of drought and famine during the reign of the 3rd dynasty King Djoser. The Stela is located on a hill on Suheil Island with outstanding views over the Nubian lands and the Nile River.

Sail the Traditional Way

Sailing down the magnificent Nile River on a Felucca (Traditional Sail Boat) under the blue skies while passing by several villages that were frozen in time and sleeping under a canopy of stars is definitely one of the most unique experiences you can have in Egypt and one of the best ways to explore the well preserved cultures along the Nile Banks.

We start sailing downstream taking in the amazing scenery and unwind in the Nile breeze until our first stop at Tombs of the Nobles where we are going to hike to visit the ancient tombs and make our way to Qubbet ElHawa the highest point in Nubia for a breathtaking view over Nubia, the Nile and Aswan. Afterwards we continue sailing until sunset then dock in another Nubian village and go visit one of the houses where we are going to enjoy an amazing Nubian party (Zaffa) then have dinner and overnight camping on the Felucca under the starlit sky.
