Private Felucca Ride & Banana Island Tour | Luxor Nile Cruise with Lunch

Your 4-Hour Nile Adventure Itinerary

Flexible Start: Pickup from Your Hotel in Luxor
Your private guide and driver will meet you at your preferred time at your hotel or Nile cruise. A short drive will take you to the felucca embarkation point on the Nile.

Board Your Private Traditional Felucca
Step aboard your private wooden sailboat and meet your experienced captain. Find a comfortable spot on the cushions as the sails are raised. Feel the stress melt away as you drift peacefully along the Nile, enjoying unparalleled views of the Theban Mountains and Luxor's skyline.

Sail to Banana Island & Explore
After a relaxing sail, you'll arrive at the lush Banana Island (also known as Banana Plantation). This small, tropical island is a world away from the desert landscape.

• Take a guided walk through the dense banana and mango groves.

• Learn about local farming techniques from your guide.

• Enjoy a complimentary tasting of the fresh, sun-ripened fruit straight from the trees.

Enjoy a Leisurely Sail Back with Lunch
Back on the felucca, savor a delicious packed lunch as you cruise calmly back towards Luxor. This is a perfect time for photos, dipping your feet in the water (if safe and permitted), or simply lying back and soaking up the Egyptian sun.

Drop-off at Your Hotel
Your driver will be waiting to return you comfortably to your hotel, filled with the calm of the Nile.
