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.

Really worth. Good sailing tour and the motorboat slovly takes you up river to see the area and the sandy beach where you can take a swim. Omar our guide was very good and explained the Nubian history and showed the village with no rush.

Wow! Had a wonderful afternoon exploring the Nubian village with Omar and his team. It was the perfect day. He was punctual and very professional. Everything went smoothly. I would’ve liked a little more time to explore the local crafts for souvenirs. Perhaps a few minutes can be built into the tour for shopping. The camel ride, holding a baby crocodile, learning about and sampling herbs and spices from Dr Tito, and swimming in the Nile were highlights. Hibiscus tea was delicious. Highly recommend this tour that is run by Nubians.

Omar was an incredible guide, one of the best we had during our 9 day trip across Aswan, Luxor, and Cairo. His love and pride for his Nubian culture could not be replicated with another guide. Additionally the transportation - car & boat - were far above par from our other tours. We deeply appreciated the thoughtful gestures such as cold mango and chai on the boat ride. Omar was so helpful that he was able to help us get a car to Abu Simbel when another tour fell through. The Nubian community and tour guide community connected through Omar are incredibly hospitable and kind.

Omar was an incredible guide. He shared lots of little surprises that made the tour delightful. His knowledge and passion as a guide make him the best. Book with Omar!

A fantastic excursion that I heartily recommend to anyone who wants to experience the true local essence! The felucca ride in Aswan was incredibly relaxing, making us glide gently along the waters of the Nile. The real strength of the tour was our guide, Moataz: simply excellent, super smiley, and always engaging. He filled us with explanations and was very available to answer all our curiosities about both Aswan and Nubian culture. Once we arrived at the Nubian village, we visited an authentic typical house and walked through its characteristic narrow streets. An authentic experience that I absolutely recommend!

We had an absolutely fabulous afternoon with Omar on the tour. We were picked up promptly from our hotel and taken on a gorgeous felucca up the Nile before heading back down to the Nubian village. We stopped off for a little swim before exploring the village and having some lovely hibiscus tea and snacks. Omar was kind, attentive and fascinating with his tales of the Nubian culture and life. Finally we had a gorgeous sunset trip back to Aswan where he kindly had the boat drop us off at a restaurant he recommended (absolutely delicious!). 100% recommend if you are in Aswan.

We had an amazing time with Omar on this tour! We wanted tour that was a break from all the temple/ancient Egypt tours and experience a “local/slice of life” vibe..this was a perfect option! Omar picked us up at our boat lobby and took us on his brother’s felucca, which was beautifully decorated and was extremely comfortable. We were presented with Egyptian tea and had a chat about Nubian life. We sailed through the Nile and he explained the history along the banks of Aswan and even stopped for a quick dip in the Nile to cool off (what a unique experience)! We then visited a beautiful Nubian village, visited a local home, and sampled some homemade dishes. The whole experience was amazing. We felt safe and Omar was very friendly and knowledgeable. We highly recommend this tour!
