What to expect

Weather: October is in the best season to visit Luxor, Aswan and upper Egypt. Warm and sunny days, which makes it ideal for exploring and engaging in kayaking and outdoor activities.

Food: Varied and tasty Nubian and Egyptian meals are prepared by an extraordinarily resourceful Nubian chef in the boat’s tiny kitchen.

Kayaks: We are using Sit On Top Touring kayaks, to grant maximum stability. Number of participants is min 4 and maximum 15.

Accommodation on the boat is on board of NKC motor boat, that’s where we sleep, have meals and sail along the Nile for a few days. NKC boat is a two-level motorized boat, there are two small shower-loos, a curtained off changing room and a tiny kitchen. All meals are shared, and everyone sleeps in the shared closed space on the deck of the boat, curtain separation.

Accommodation in Luxor will be in double rooms

Kayaking There's no pressure to paddle every stretch; the boat crew are very accommodating of those who want to get plucked from the water (or lowered into it) in the middle of a stretch of paddling, and there's also the option of just chilling around on the boat.
