• Nubian Village:  The origin of the name of the island is still a mystery. First it was called Khnum (khnemu), but since the Greek times it is known as the Elephantine Island. And there have never been elephants here! Some historians say it is because there used to be an elephant market here; others say it is because there are large boulders in the river near the island which resembled bathing elephants. The island is also famous for its Nubian villages. Nubians are the ancient inhabitants of this region.

• Felucca boat ride: This is sailing the Nile like the ancient Egyptians did. The felucca boats are small, open wooden boats with a large triangular sail. If you chose to sail on a felucca, you will have a better experience of sailing and living on one of these boats. It's a great way to break a hectic trip and relax for a couple of hours. All in all, riding a felucca boat allows you to get closer to the environment that shaped Egypt's long history.
