If you’re a nature lover, bird enthusiast, or just looking for a peaceful escape on the Nile—this exclusive 3-hour bird watching tour in Aswan is just the thing. Glide gently through the calm waters around the First Cataract Islands aboard a traditional felucca sailboat, where birds, blossoms, and breathtaking views await.
Your bird-watching adventure begins with a comfortable pickup from your hotel, where you’ll meet your expert guide. From there, you’ll board a traditional felucca and begin sailing the Nile’s gentle currents. As the boat glides toward Lord Kitchener’s Island, keep your eyes peeled—your guide will help you spot graceful Egrets (and their chicks!), vibrant Parakeets, and other colorful locals hiding among the trees.
Along the shores, you’ll be surrounded by blooming tropical plants—poinciana, lantana, acacia, and more. The air smells sweet, the wind rustles gently through the reeds, and the only sound is the splash of water against the boat—and the soft flutter of wings.
As you sail further upriver towards the Aga Khan Mausoleum, the birdwatching becomes even more magical. Look out for Kingfishers, Malachite Kingfishers, Little Bittern Herons, Nile Valley Sunbirds, and even the charming Little Green Bee-Eaters. This quiet corner of the Nile is a haven for both birds and the people who love them.
At the end of your journey, we’ll sail back to the dock, where your driver will be waiting to return you to your hotel.
