Brilliant

Had a great trip. The guide, Doaa, was knowledgeable and friendly, and the Nubians were welcoming. The ride on the Nile was a different experience and we were able to stop at one of the beaches to swim for a little while too. Highly recommend this trip to anyone who is interested in exploring new cultures and places in unconvinced ways.

Spectacular experience

We really enjoyed the experience of knowing how local people live. The trip the boat was spectacular along the way you can see the landscape it offers in Nile, the restaurants on the islands, the houses, the temples destroyed with the passage of time and the climatic conditions. You come to the village and the houses and huts are painted colors. Very nice experience. Our guide Doaa helped us and gave us the best tips. We would recommend this activity to our friends!

Nubian Village With Private Boat

We booked a private boat with Dua. She was an awesome tour guide. She explained the history of the village and the Nubian culture. It’s a way to cool off.
