Nice time over Nile in Aswan
We had a nice experience with the felucca ride and visit to the Nubian Village in Aswan. The felucca sail on the Nile was peaceful and relaxing, with beautiful views and a very calm atmosphere – a perfect way to enjoy the river and escape the city noise.
The visit to the Nubian Village was a highlight: colorful houses, welcoming people, and a great opportunity to learn about Nubian culture, traditions, and daily life. The atmosphere was warm and authentic, not rushed, and very enjoyable.
Overall, this tour was well organized, enjoyable. Mohammed, our guide, was calm, friendly, and made the experience pleasant.

Great boat ride and nubian tour
Mohamed Salah was informative and friendly, handled everything smoothly, and was flexible and accommodating. He is Nubian himself so there was a lot of extra context to his answers. And his English is great

The perfect ending of a day
We had a great ride on our private Valuka - then our guide showed us a real Nubian house and spices … well all an experience … best is the guide was not pushing to buy anything, funny and good explanation!
Ask for him!! Moataz — THANKS

Skip the Nubian village
The felucca ride itself was very beautiful and serene. The Nubian village is mostly just shops. We went into one house and were introduced to a kid whom the guide knew. It felt exploitative. We were peer pressured into sampling the food at the house and one of us fell really sick from it. Then we were taken to a tea shop to listen to a sales pitch.
The driver who picked us up and the guide were pushy for tips for a very sub par experience.

The boat trips had amazing landscape views. Colourful village with gentle pace of life and friendly people. Delicious snacks. Very nice guide who made the experience even more enjoyable.

It was a very nice...
It was a very nice experience with a very nice tour guide. However, you might be intimidated by the owner of the 'blue hotel', she can aggresively demand a tip for taking a photo of her shtty hotel in Nubian village.

Thanks to our guide (Mr. Mohamed Salah) we had an amazing experience. He was very accommodating, the sunset from the felucca was beautiful, and in the Nubian village we were able to explore the unique culture and cuisines (snacks, tea, and coffee) without hassle. Thank you!!

Amazing experience
Our experience exceeded our expectations. Our guide Omar was brilliant! We would’ve loved a bit more time at the Nubian village. The camel ride to the village is a must! Fantastic experience to see the Nile on one side and the desert on the other while riding a camel!
