A Felucca is a small traditional boat propelled by oars and/or lateen sails widely used on the Nile. These felucca ride experiences mainly run to the Banana Island from the east bank of Luxor, infront of Luxor Temple. Banana Island is a small island on the West Bank of the Nile with a banana plantation and other small farms. It takes about 3 to 4 hours.
It is the ideal place to visit to enjoy fresh fruits and see some native animals up close. It can only be reached by Felucca or motorboat. Taking a Felucca to the island is a very pleasant and peaceful experience and the island provides a glimpse into local agricultural life. It is recommended that you schedule your trip so you can see the stunning view of the sunrise or the sunset from the Felucca.
