Itinerary
Elephantine Island
2 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeAccompanied by your private Egyptologist guide, keep away from the bustling city and enjoy a relaxing felucca sail on the Nile to historic Elephantine Island. This ancient site holds artifacts dating back to pre-dynastic times and once marked the natural frontier between Egypt and Nubia. Spend a peaceful few hours exploring the island’s landscape and archaeological remains as your guide shares its fascinating history. Notice how the rocks along the shore resemble elephants’ backs partly covered by water — the likely origin of the island’s name. At the end of the tour, enjoy a relaxing felucca sail back and a comfortable private transfer to your hotel or Nile cruise in Aswan.
