Getting There
-
Walking
From the Aswan Corniche, walk towards the Nile River. Head south along the riverbank until you reach the dock area where the falucas are moored. The journey should take approximately 10-15 minutes on foot. Look for signs or ask locals for directions to the faluca dock if you're unsure.
-
Boat
If you prefer to take a short boat ride, head to the nearest boat station along the Aswan Corniche. You can catch a small motorboat that goes directly to the faluca area, often referred to as the 'faluca dock.' Ensure you communicate your destination to the boat operator. The boat ride will take about 5-10 minutes and will provide you with a scenic view of the river.
-
Bicycle
For those who enjoy cycling, rent a bicycle from one of the local rental shops along the Corniche. Cycle south along the riverside path until you reach the faluca dock. This route is flat and offers beautiful views of the river, taking around 20 minutes depending on your pace.
