Kitchener’s Island

The island was formerly known as Kitchener Island, which was named after Lord Kitchener who owned it when he served as Consul General in Egypt from 1911 to 1914. With help from the Ministry of Irrigation, Kitchener transformed the 750-meter island into a paradise of exotic trees and plants surrounding the gardens with paths to see this spectacular view. It then transferred to the ownership of the Egyptian government and used the island as a research station called the Plant Research Institute, or better known as the Aswan Botanical Island.

The island of Nabatiye “Kitchener” is one of the two main islands on the Nile near Aswan, and the other is the elephant. The elephant is the largest between the Nabat Island and the city of Aswan (East Bank). Therefore, it may be difficult to see the smaller Nabat Island than Aswan: “Aswan is hidden behind Elephantine Island.

The island is one of the best reasons to visit Aswan to see the Aswan Botanical Gardens. Passengers can sail on the local Felucca boat or take a motor boat with in Egypt day tours to the east bank of the Nile to reach this island.

The island has 3 entrances. The main entrance is at the northern end of the island, the best way to see the island, without much walking, is to enter the main entrance and walk along the island until you reach the southern end and book Veloka from there and ask the captain to wait for you at the other end. The end. The Botanical Island of Aswan is divided into 27 squares cut by vertical and horizontal tracks making it like a chessboard. It is an amazing experience to explore this island and everything it has to offer

There is a large group of plantations and trees on the island. Some of them were found naturally on the island, before being turned into a botanical island, and they were brought there. There are a number of rare palm trees such as the royal palm tree, the sabal palm tree and the phonic pam tree
