Ease into the day with a classic Egyptian welcome drink—choose from tea, Arabic coffee, or fresh local juice—while getting to know your local guide and the plan for the day.
Village & Countryside Exploration
Travel to the peaceful outskirts of Luxor, where the real rhythm of life unfolds. Visit rural villages and observe how local farmers cultivate their fields using traditional methods.

This is your chance to witness a way of life that has remained unchanged for generations.

Enjoy a hearty, home-style Egyptian meal at a local eatery or family home. Sample dishes like tagen—a slow-cooked clay pot stew—alongside Egyptian favorites such as kofta, grilled meats, and molokhia. Sip on refreshing local drinks as you dine in authentic surroundings.
Felucca Ride on the Nile
Wrap up the day with a relaxing felucca ride along the Nile River. Glide gently on the water and take in the tranquil views of Luxor from a new perspective. It’s the perfect way to unwind and reflect on your experience.
Return Transfer
After your felucca ride, you’ll be comfortably transferred back to your hotel or Nile Cruise with a camera full of photos and a heart full of unforgettable memories.
