Banana Island by felucca on the Nile River, Luxor, Egypt.

            Just like anywhere in Egypt, the best place to be in the late afternoon is the Nile. Take a felucca from any shore and sail for a few hours, to enjoy the soft afternoon light and the sunset, cool off in the evening breeze and relax after checking the attractions.

The best known felucca trip up the river to Banana Island, islet dotted with palms palm trees about 5km from Luxor. It takes 2 to 3 hours. Plan to return in time to watch a beautiful sunset on the Nile, still on the felucca.

3 times on a Felucca (Tours) in Luxor.

* Number four in Explore.
Thanks a lot.
