Aswan airport is a 15-minute drive to the riverside for a 5-minute sail to the island.
There are direct flights to Aswan from Europe, or you can change flights at Cairo or Hurghada for the final leg of the journey. We can arrange pick up from the airport so that you have nothing to think about except meeting the team, sitting back and enjoying the journey.

Once you are on the island there is only one shop that sells cigarettes, crisps and snacks. There is no ATM. You are strongly advised to bring all that you need so that you can land and kick back and relax. Bring plenty of sunscreen and mosquito repellent and as we are right on the water.
