A lovely spot to lose yourself in full of beautiful grounds and a nice spot when you have finished to settle down and have a nice cuppa

Surrounded by desert and dust, this island is a nice green space. However, it is not a lush garden. 30 minutes is plenty of time to experience the island.

From the cruise ship the tour guide took us on a Felucca to 'the island of plants' (Kitchener collected plants and brought them here) - relaxing journey to a shady park used by locals and tourists alike, few vendors beautiful sights across the Nile, very relaxing and a completely different experence to all the temples.
