Amazing!

My family and I had an amazing experience. The Nubian Village was the highlight of our Aswan stop in Egypt. Our tour guide was super nice! He took pictures, held our bags, explained to us the culture and was super accommodating. I highly recommend this tour when visiting Aswan. The island is very charming.

Good tour

Good tour. The boat ride is wonderful. The Nubian village is truly characteristic. The people are welcoming and obviously go out of their way to make you buy their specialties. Mohamed is a good guy and a good guide. It would be better to have more information on the traditions of the Nubian people. Thank you

Nubian cruise

an unexpected, and last minute trip turned out to be one of y favourite tours. Really loved the village and exploring daily life of the Nubian people and something different than typical Egyptian areas. Abu Joudy was punctual, and lovely to be guided by him. He took me around the area and helped me find the perfect gift for my mom. Great few hours. Would recommend

Very pleasant late afternoon cruise and Nubian Village visit

We had a very pleasant late afternoon cruise on a motor launch to the Nubian village. Mido was an excellent guide both on the water and within the village. The high point of our trip was a visit to the village's school. A teacher there demonstrated the Nubian alphabet and the language. We enjoyed the trip very much.
