I’m an experienced water sports instructor and adventure travel organizer with over 20 years of passion for the outdoors. I founded Kiteschule Darß on the Baltic Sea and spend my time between Germany and the Philippines, running kitesurf camps and unique travel experiences in the Philippines, Oman and Egypt. I love bringing people together through active adventures—whether it’s kitesurfing, stand-up paddling, or exploring new cultures. My trips focus on authentic local encounters, sustainability, and unforgettable memories in nature. I’d love for you to join me on my next journey SUP & sailing down the Nile—let’s paddle into history together!

During our adventure, we’ll stay aboard a traditional Egyptian felucca—a beautifully crafted wooden sailing boat that has been used on the Nile for centuries. The felucca is both our home and mode of transport, offering a unique and authentic way to experience the river. This cozy, communal accommodation is perfect for adventurous travelers seeking an authentic and simple way to connect with Egypt’s landscapes and people.

Aswan

Day 1-2

We’ll pick you up in Aswan—whether from your hotel, the train station, or the airport. Aswan is simply too beautiful to rush through, so we’ll take our time to explore. We’ll paddle through the first Nile cataracts and discover hidden swim spots and charming beach bars along the way. In the evening, we’ll enjoy a welcome dinner in Aswan followed by a magical sunset paddle in front of Elephantine Island. The next morning, we’ll visit the Tombs of the Nobles before we set off paddling downstream, heading north into the heart of our Nile adventure.
