Message from Aurélie Bouti

🇬🇧 We absolutely wanted to take a felucca ride on the Nile for the sunset but it was complicated to book in advance for a fair price, whereas I usually don't like to leave my schedule to chance and I much prefer everything to be booked weeks in advance. But we found it very easily because we were approached many times in the streets of Aswan to go on a felucca trip, so we booked for the next day by meeting at the Salah El Din restaurant (also on my map). The ride lasted 2 hours and it was really great, the only downside was that the captain then asked us for more money at the end but that was at least the fifth time this happened during the trip (you have been warned, it's part of the tourist experience there).

đŸ‡«đŸ‡· Nous voulions absolument faire une balade en felouque sur le Nil pour le coucher du soleil mais c’était compliquĂ© de rĂ©server Ă  l’avance pour un prix correct, alors que d’habitude je n’aime pas laisser mon planning au hasard et je prĂ©fĂšre largement que tout soit rĂ©servĂ© des semaines Ă  l’avance. Mais nous avons trouvĂ© trĂšs facilement car on s’est fait aborder de nombreuses fois dans les rues d’Assouan pour faire une excursion en felouque, nous avons donc rĂ©servĂ© pour le lendemain en se donnant rendez-vous au restaurant Salah El Din (aussi sur ma carte). La balade a durĂ© 2 heures et c’était vraiment super, le seul inconvĂ©nient Ă©tait que le capitaine nous a ensuite demandĂ© plus d’argent Ă  la fin mais c’était au moins la cinquiĂšme fois que ça arrivait pendant le sĂ©jour (vous ĂȘtes prĂ©venus, ça fait partie de l’expĂ©rience touristique lĂ -bas).
