Adventure and Sports

The Nile: sailing, swimming, fishing
Water is giving so many opportunities to have fun and relax. Feel the different air as soon you come close. Take the felucca for 3 hours or 3 days, let the captain show you how to sail, love the rocking of the boat passing the rapids of the cataract, visit a nice beach mounting out of clean water south of Aswan, enjoy swimming, fishing or use the boat for visiting sightseeing attractions up, down or on the other bank of this legendary river.

Riding camels and donkeys ...
Try traveling differently: rent a camel inclusive the cameleer to visit the different attractions of Aswan. In case you feel safer on an animal less high, donkeys are offered. A special fun for children!
And if you prefer this kind of transportation, visit the camel market to take one home as a nice souvenir :o)

Wellness and body ...
Have a swimm, lie down beside a swimming-pool and enjoy the sun. This is not enough for you? Sauna, fitness room and massage are waiting for you to stay trim and relax your muscles.
Because of natural radio-activity tourists come to Aswan since the 19th century to get rid of rheumatism. In Sahel physicians have specialized to bury people in the warm healthy sand: you do not need aching bones to enjoy this!
