Details
Today’s adventure begins with a warm welcome by your captain, who will escort you via motorboat to the historic Old Island of Isis Temple. After a short briefing on paddling techniques, you’ll follow your captain on a scenic kayaking route into the tranquil waters of Shisha’s protected area — home to incredible birdlife and untouched nature.
You’ll paddle on toward Konozo Island, witness breathtaking views of Philae Temple, and finally reach the sacred Osiris Gate — all while floating gently through the ancient Nile.
