Transfer to a jetty on the Nile River, where you’ll board a boat for Sohail Island. Depending on river conditions and the weather, you’ll travel in a traditional felucca sailboat, or in a modern motorboat.
Take in views of the Nile riverbanks on the way to Sohail Island, passing Elephantine Island along the way.
Disembark on Sohail Island, and visit a traditional Nubian house to learn about the history and culture of the Nubian people over a glass of welcome tea.
After your time at the house, take a walk to explore the island on your own, strolling through brightly-painted villages, and chatting with the locals.
At the end of the afternoon, meet back up at the boat jetty, where you’ll begin the return trip to Aswan.
