This is not just a visit to a Nubian village — it's an opportunity to experience Nubian life from the inside. Your journey begins aboard a traditional Nubian sailboat,Along the way, you'll be accompanied by a local Nubian guide who was born and raised in the community, sharing personal stories, traditions, and insights that you won't find in guidebooks. Unlike standard sightseeing tours, you'll be encouraged to experience the village as a guest rather than a tourist. Learn a few words and greetings from the Nubian language, discover the meaning behind colorful Nubian houses, and gain a deeper understanding of local customs, family life, and traditions. Upon arrival, you'll visit a private Nubian home where local women will welcome you with traditional tea or coffee. Sit together, exchange stories, ask questions, and enjoy genuine conversations that create meaningful cultural connections. Meet Nubia Through Nubian Eyes.
First our tour guide will pick you up from your hotel or Nile cruise in Aswan to enjoy sailing on the Nile River for one hour with felucca (Nubian Sail Boat) then change to a motorboat which will take you to the Nubian Village beach to enjoy swimming in the Nile (optional) then to the Nubian village itself which is located on West Bank of the Nile River just opposite to Soheil Island and near the Aswan Dam,. There you meet and interact with a Nubian family and learn about their simple lifestyle, culture, language, traditions and their unique style of buildings with colorful decorations. Afterwards you'll be transferred back to your hotel or Nile cruise in Aswan.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

The guide was nice with a level of english good enough to understand everything he says, feluka ride was very calming and relaxing, Nubian Village is great, highly recommend 👍🏻 For Italians: the guide will take you to a spice seller who speaks good Italian and has good products. Even if you do not want to buy anything it is worth watching the show that puts in place to present the products. (Who cares also has smoke)

Omar made this tour unforgettable with his knowledge and warm hospitality. The boat ride along the Nile was stunning, and the village experience felt authentic and engaging. We enjoyed traditional tea, met locals and even saw a pet crocodile! Omar’s connections made the visit truly special. Highly recommend this tour for a unique and enriching experience in Aswan!

My girlfriend and I had a great afternoon choosing this private tour. Sailing with the Felucca and driving with the motorboat through the beautiful landscape in the side rivers of the Nil and next to the Nubian villages was just nice. Omar explained to us the history and showed us the way of living of Nubian people. Omar is a very relaxed and experienced local guide who makes this trip very enjoyable.

Mr. Omar is an amazing human who welcomed us, as a local, into the life of Nubian culture and life by the river Nile in Aswan. He patiently handled all our questions as he expertly guided us through the streets of the village and his community. We truly appreciated the opportunity to explore a Nubian house and the local markets. Additionally, and not to be underestimated, as part of the experience we enjoyed a most relaxing private cruise along the river Nile in a felluca, around sunset, with Omar's brother and a charming young lad working the lines as first mate. A magical evening!

Omar is a great guide that patiently explains you Egyptian culture and the points of interest. We did the Nubian and Felouque activity but also had another experience before with him, exploring the Great Dam and the Philae Temple. We were so pleased, that we decided to book also this one. I've had several guides on Egypt and Omar is surely the best one we had. Don't hesitate to book with him.

It was such a wonderful experience. Our tour guide Mr Omar Kashy is very passionate and knowledgeable person who explains all the details and backgrounds. We had different tour during this Egypt trip and this is definitely the highlight of our Egypt trip. We definitely prefer him as a tour guide and he would be best for Aswan tours! Highly recommended and both me and my husbands are very happy with our trip. Thanks Omar

Just finished this tour and honestly it’s the best tour in Aswan Communication is top notch from the moment you book Omar is amazing, friendly and very knowledgable. He is Nubian so he knows all the people. You start with a great motorboat ride down the Nile to the village. Then you hang out at a local family’s house which is beautiful. Plus you get to hold a baby crocodile in the house with a pic Then you take a relaxing felucca ride back up the Nile Also Omar provides water and tea and other treats This tour is more relaxing and fun than the other temple tours and I can’t recommend it enough

An experience you absolutely must do. If you think it's a tourist trap, nothing could be further from the truth. It's an authentic Nubian village. To get there you take a pleasant trip on the Nile, relaxing, which in itself fills you with wonder. You discover the Nubian area and then you arrive at the village. Yes, there are many shops but none are pushy. Then you can visit a typical Nubian house where the owner will welcome you with a delicious mint tea and some snacks. And to finish off, a felucca on the Nile... what can I say, to do again. Maybe to stop a night in the village, maybe to try Nubian food, maybe to discover the secrets of spices. All accompanied by Omar, our wonderful guide, thanks Omar for this beautiful experience!

It was a wonderful experience with Omar . He is one of the indigenous people of Aswan “Nubian”. He lives in one of the Nubian villages by the river. Took us in breathtaking trip with his boat visiting the Nubian village. He gave us a good knowledge about the Nubian culture and the history of Aswan. We met Mrs Soma enjoyed the local drink and met her guest from the “ the old land “ . The sailing boat took the trip to another level. Definitely we gonna visit again. Thanks Omar ,Basheer and safi for your great hospitality.
