Aswan half day

Unfortunately, we didn't have the felucca ride. According to our guide Moataz, the weather was not suitable for felucca. We had the motorboat to Nubian village instead. The village is colourdul, the houses are cool. If could have more time to explore the whole village would be good. Nonetheless, Moataz is a friendly guide. We wanted to go McDonald's on the way back, then he brought us there and waited for us to return. Overall, it's a special experience in Aswan.

This is a remarkably...

This is a remarkably enjoyable experience with Omar as our guide. From the gentle felucca journey at the start, enjoying the sounds of the birds singing along the Nile, getting to spend time in the home of a local Nubian - start to finish a great experience. Well worth booking!

Great tour!! Totally worth it!

We had Omar as our guide and he was very friendly and knowledgeable! We enjoyed having a private tour where we could ask lots of questions and learn more about the Nubian village. The felucca and motorboat rides were so relaxing, and if you don’t mind the heat, I recommend going in the afternoon so you can catch golden hour on the way back! Highly recommend this tour and Omar as a guide while you’re in Aswan.

One day in Assuan.

The tour is beautiful, the feluca ride was quiet and relaxing. Nubian village is very particular; our tour guide Moataz was very well prepared and he can explain us everything. Thank you!

Very nice and relaxing activity in Aswan

We had a great time on the feluca and on a motor boat to go to the nubian village. The nubian village is very touristic but it was fun to hold a crocodile and see camels wandering in the streets. The guide was nice and discrete.

Nice felucca ! Guide was nice but unnecessary

The sailboat is nice and the most interesting part of the trip! However we didn’t really feel the need of the guide and if you manage to do the falucca and then go to the nubian village alone it would be better. They were nice and served us tea. The spice store was interesting and fun. But very expensive. 16$ for 100g of any coffee or tea. Don’t hesitate to negociate. It’s not worth more than 4$. We could negociate to pay 10$ but if we insisted more we could’ve gone lower.

Great time!!

We had a fantastic time on the tour. Matoub was a brilliant tour guide. The felucca ride was lovely and the trip to the Nubian village was great. The village is beautiful and we had the opportunity to visit a local house and we got some beautiful pictures. Matoub was great.
