I m a kitesurfinstructor and SUP guide. I live half year in the Philippines and half year in Europe and love to do sustainable travel where we get to go the local people and involve them in our activities. The Niletrip is one of my favourite trips as you get to know Egypt from a completely new side and where you experience life of the Nubian people at its best.

We sleep onboard of a traditional sailing board. Electricity, shower and toilet are onboard. No cabins! Blankets and pillows are provided. If you look for more privacy you can pitch a tent. Experience life on a sailingboat and you can learn sailing, if you are tired of paddling. Our boatcrew is happy to show you how to sail a felucca
