Enjoying learning the culture of Nubian people and viewing the beautiful Sun Set of Nile River.

In a beautiful mid April afternoon, we four seniors rode modern motorboat in Nile River to Nubian Village. Our tour guide picked up us and two families at meeting point near our cruise ship at 4:00 PM. Our motor boat travelled along Nile River and headed for Sohail Island. We disembarked on Sohail Island , and visited Nubian Catos or Nubian houses to taste welcome tea. The colorful painted walls, every color representing natural item. We learned the culture of the Nubian people. Blue is Nile River while red is dates, etc. Tour guide rushed to embark the motorboat in order to view the sunset.

Nile River Cruising and Nubian Village

Unlike the image, boat cruising on the Nile was very pleasant and I enjoyed the cuteness of the village Why not join us as a tour to enjoy the Nile? It's nice.
