A wonderful exclusive tour for ‘Bird Watchers’ on this 3 hour Bird Watching Tour in Aswan with Mr Mohamed Arabi known as the Birdman of Aswan. Take a scenic ride in a felucca around the Cataract Islands to see up to many species of local birds and pretty flora and fauna in a most delightful environment. Pick up from your hotel with the bird man Mr Mohamed Arabi. You will set sail across the Nile to the West Bank of the Nile towards Lord Kitchener's Island. where you will see the birdlife ranging from Egrets both adult and chicks, to Parakeets amongst the trees.there is beautiful flora and fauna such as Hibiscus, lantana, bougainvillea, poinciana, acacia trees and mimosa all blooming in radiant colours. During the Sailing you may be astounded at the sight of many more bird species wading in the waters of the Cataract Islands such as Kingfishers, Malachite Kingfishers, Striated Herons, Little Bitten Herons, Night Herons, along with Little Green Bee Eaters, and Nile Valley Sunbirds.
The trip was good, but not a half day as advertised — in total from pick up to drop off it was just two hours! As such, a lot more expensive than expected for the trip. Hoping the operator will update the info so others aren’t misled.
Mr. Mohamed Arabi is an excellent birding tour guide. He has fifty years experience having grown up in Aswan. He is very polite and knowledgeable. Additionally his father was a master gardener for Aswan. Consequently Mohamed knows nearly every plant and tree by name. A real gentleman. We highly recommend his birding service to you.
Fantastic trip on the Nile in Aswan with a very knowledgeable and accommodating guide! Saw owls, blue kingfishers and other not normally seen birds. Peaceful, pleasant afternoon. You should bring your own binoculars if you want to see birds closeup. Also, the times listed on Viator are wrong. In the winter period the tour should start at 3 pm, not 4 pm as listed. Finally, the tour is listed as in a falouca boat - in reality it’s a motorboat,
The guide was very knowledgeable and patient. He worked with the boat captain to reposition the boat for a better photo angle. Spotted and photographed many “lifers” on the trip. Thank you for arranging a wonderful birding trip.
