Sorry to say this, but Hakeem at the tourist office is Aswan is not a reliable source for felucca trips. He collects 100 Egyptian pounds for every recommendation and the recommendations are bad. He sent us to Captain Washington whose feluccas were hardly seaworthy -- ragged sails, filthy boat bottom. We paid for a trip to Kom Ombo and got a roundtrip from Aswan to some village many miles from Kom Ombo. Avoid Hakeem and Captain Washington
