After a little bit of pick-up confusion and very good communication on WhatsApp, we got to go on our private felucca boat ride. Our hotel was on the Nile, and we were picked up from the river, no vehicle transport necessary, which was a bonus. Our guide was fantastic! He captained the felucca, answered our questions and pointed out things. The ride went around Elephantine island, passing by the Aswan Botanic Garden. It was fun and relaxing, with a Sun Pyramids representative and felucca captain, totally recommend!
