Bisaw Island

Our visit is an opportunity to experience life in a fishing community. Have breakfast in the home of a village family. Enjoy a walk through the farms and learn about some typically Egyptian plants, such as the doum tree. You may also meet some of the women and children and learn how sun bread is baked in homes here. We join the local fishermen in their boats to share the experience of Nile fishing. Even those inexperienced in fishing are sure to enjoy being out in the boats observing the skills of these men who live in harmony with the Nile. The fish caught can be enjoyed as part of dinner that evening.

Bisaw is a leisurely insight into everyday life and culture, a change of pace and mindspace from visiting the monuments
