Feluccas, the cataract and Elephantine's channels
The Nile at Aswan
Typical visit: 2 h
The most beautiful stretch of the river — granite islands, white sails and the First Cataract below the dam.
About
Aswan is where the Nile stops being a broad brown highway and starts braiding between granite. Feluccas work the channels around Elephantine and Kitchener's Island, and an afternoon on one is the standard — and the correct — way to see it.
