Very chill way to spend an otherwise free afternoon in Aswan.

Published on Feb, 2025

My wife and I found ourselves back at our cruise ship after an early trip to Abu Simbel so we booked this tour on a very short notice (2 hrs) and Amarco was able to deliver successfully, very good communication! Our assigned captain Mikail was very cheerful and allowed us to steer the felucca. He was happy to answer any questions we had and was joking all the time, great time on board! The botanical garden and the felucca were both really nice. There were no guide on board with us but no need for this trip in my opinion. Important to note that the botanical garden has an entrance fee of 70 EGP pr. person, foreign currency and credit card not accepted. It takes around 15-20 min to get to the island from the east bank dock and then around 1:30 hrs is sufficient to tour around the island, if you time it well you will enjoy an absolutely astonishing sunset on the felucca. It is worth noting that there is a small botanical museum near the entrance which may be easy to miss. Here they showcase different seeds of different plants, it is interesting if you are into that. Also important note; there are merchants both on board the felucca and on the island with the usual souvenirs but I felt people are less clingy than elsewhere. There was a boy with a baby crocodile and he let us interact with the animal and take photos, he wanted to charge a little too much but he was willing to negotiate down to something acceptable, definitely worth trying as well.
