Aswan Botanic Garden and Museum Tour

This half-day tour departs from your Aswan hotel and takes you by felucca to Kitchener Island, where you visit the Aswan Botanic Gardens and Botanical Museum before continuing to the Agha Khan Mausoleum and the Tombs of the Nobles. The route runs 4 hours by boat and private vehicle. It is the only Aswan day tour pairing the Botanic Gardens with the Botanical Museum on a single felucca crossing to Kitchener Island.

A private vehicle collects you from your hotel and drives you to the Nile dock, where a felucca carries you across the river to Kitchener Island. On the island, you walk through the Aswan Botanic Gardens and stop at the Botanical Museum inside the garden grounds. The felucca then continues to the Agha Khan Mausoleum on the west bank, followed by the Tombs of the Nobles at Qubbet el-Hawa, before returning you to the dock and your hotel.

No other half-day tour from Aswan combines a Nile island botanical garden, its dedicated museum, and two West Bank heritage sites in one felucca route. Browse Aswan sightseeing tours for more ways to explore the Nile’s islands and desert landscapes. If you enjoy combining nature with cultural discovery, explore our Egypt excursions for more unforgettable experiences, from peaceful Nile cruises to ancient temples and desert adventures across the country.
