Tour Plan

Private Collection and Sunset Embarkation

Your private Egyptologist and chauffeur will collect you from your hotel or cruise ship in Luxor at the ideal time according to the season. You will be transferred in a high-end, climate-controlled vehicle to our exclusive jetty. There, you will step aboard your private felucca, Egypt's legendary wooden sailboat. As the sun begins to sink behind the hills of the West Bank, the sail will be unfurled to begin a silent navigation, allowing you to capture spectacular photographs of the Theban landscape bathed in shades of crimson and purple.

Exclusive Visit to Banana Island

Our felucca will make a scheduled call at Banana Island, a beautifully lush retreat of tropical vegetation and agricultural history in the middle of the Nile. Accompanied by your guide, you will enjoy a pleasant stroll through its orchards, where you can observe traditional farming methods that have endured for generations. During the stop, you will enjoy a sampling of fresh bananas harvested directly from the island, alongside a complimentary glass of traditional hibiscus tea (Karkadeh) or fresh mint tea.

Traditional Egyptian Dinner Facing the River

As night falls beneath the starlit sky, you will savour a private dinner served with distinction on the felucca itself or in a reserved area along the banks of the Nile. The menu consists of a curated culinary selection of authentic Egyptian dishes cooked to perfection: an exquisite Koshari, Mahshi (vegetables stuffed with aromatic spiced rice), traditional Fatta, and a succulent selection of grilled meats and skewers (Kebab and Kofta), all accompanied by local flatbread and fresh salads.

Return to Your Hotel

Following dinner and having experienced an unforgettable evening of peace and genuine hospitality, your private vehicle will transfer you comfortably back to your hotel or cruise ship in Luxor.
