Fantastic Experience with Omar – Nile & Nubian Village
The tour included two boat rides—a peaceful and relaxing felucca ride, followed by a motorboat ride outside the city and deeper into the biodiversity of the River Nile. Along the way, Omar shared his knowledge and pointed out different bird species. At the Nubian village, we arrived from a different side than the other boats, which allowed us to skip the crowds.
I really enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend booking it with Omar.

Nubian village with felucca ride
This was a perfect solo private tour of the Nubian Village with a scenic felucca ride on the Nile—one of the absolute highlights of my Aswan trip. Being just me in the group made it completely personalized, relaxed, and unhurried.
Our guide, Omar—a Nubian himself—was outstanding: incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and full of authentic stories about Nubian culture and history.
The felucca sail was peaceful and beautiful, with stunning Nile views.
In the vibrant Nubian Village, the colorful houses and welcoming local hospitality were wonderful.
The big highlight: safely handling a baby Nile crocodile—such a thrilling and unforgettable moment!
Everything ran seamlessly from pickup to drop-off. If you’re in Aswan, book this private tour with Omar for an authentic, memorable experience that’s all yours. Highly recommend!

Nubian Village Tour & More!
Omar our tour guide was fantastic and shared his vast knowledge and insight into Nubian history and culture. As we walked through the village, we were invited to have tea in one of the local houses, which was a lovely touch. The tour also included a Felucca ride which was terrific and we even managed to find time for a paddle in the river Nile. All in all, an amazing and highly enjoyable 3 1/2 hours.

Felucca ride & Nubian Village
The Felucca ride and visit to the Nubian Village was an incredible experience! The tour began sailing peacefully along the Nile on a traditional felucca, enjoying the calm atmosphere and beautiful scenery. Afterwards, we continued by boat to the Nubian Village.
Throughout the journey, our guide Mido shared the history of the place with great detail and enthusiasm. When we arrived at the village, we were warmly welcomed by the locals with a traditional welcome drink. We walked through the colorful streets, and it turned into a truly wonderful morning.

Authentic experience, great guide
I had an amazing experience riding and swimming in the Nile, visiting the Nubian village, learning about the medicinal herbs and spices, petting a crocodile, and having a friendly chat with Omar! This experience exceeded my expectations and Omar was a great host! His knowledge and connection to the Nubian culture was very authentic. He went above and beyond with providing excellent hospitality. He felt more like a friend than a guide. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who would like to learn more about the Nubian culture from a trusted guide.

A fantastic afternoon in the nubian village
We had an amazing experience thanks to Omar, who was truly one of the best guides we encountered in Egypt. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also kind and attentive.
The tour gave us a genuine glimpse into the authentic life of the Nubian village, and we loved visiting a beautiful, untouched part of the Nile where you can even take a swim.
We ended the afternoon with a peaceful felucca ride at sunset, absolutely magical and not to be missed. Highly recommended!
