Felucca Sailing and Botanical Island Discovery

Pick up from your hotel by your tour guide or representative and sail on the River Nile.
Visit the Botanical Garden, where you can enjoy the pleasant breeze of the Nile.
Stroll through Botanical Island, which is rich in plants imported from all over the world. The island has four doors: the first in the north, the second in the south, the third in the middle, and the fourth dedicated to the island's workers.
Listen to the stories of how the island was once settled by the Nubians, who called it Jet Narty. In 1899, Lord Kitchener took the island as a place where his campaign could rest and called it the Lord's House. After his death, the island came to belong to the Ministry of Agriculture.
