Omar picked us up on time at our Nile Cruise ship and his English is excellent. He was very knowledgeable about everything we were going to see and answered all our questions. He looked after us well and was a delightful young man with a lively personality. Viator has provided the perfect experience again. Thank you.

I was very disappointed with the tour for the following reason 1.He only took us to a Nubian house and down the street to a few of his friends shop. Nothing else !!!! When he wasn’t talking he was on his cell phone. Everything that was described in the summary in Viator were lies. Don’t waste your time or money going with The Nubian village just go to the Nubian museum it not worth $33.00 maybe $ 15.00 I wish I could get a refund back of half the money.
Thank you so much for sharing your views and experience with us. Your review is highly appreciated and very important to us and the community. We respect your opinion; however, we would like to clarify that the tour was delivered exactly as described in the program. The Nubian Village experience includes the motorboat ride, visiting a traditional Nubian house, and walking through the local market area — which reflects the authentic atmosphere many guests specifically come to enjoy. For those interested in historical exhibits, the Nubian Museum is a separate and different experience. We’re sorry the tour did not meet your personal expectations, and we always encourage guests to share any concerns during the visit so we can assist immediately. We wish you wonderful travels ahead.
A wonderful and authentic experience in Aswan. The tour was well organized, very personal, and gave us a great insight into Nubian culture. Our guide was very friendly and welcoming. The boat ride was very special and we got to see the Nile at sunset. Among other sights we visited his brother’s shop and it was a lovely surprise—they were incredibly kind and even gave us a beautiful gift. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a genuine cultural experience.

Very helpful guide Mr Moataz. He ecplained everything to us in details. Though we were tired he continued to cheer us during the journey. It was very hot but in the nile river it was cool in the boat.

Moataz is incredibly joyful and passionate about his nubian culture. You'll get to see incredible colours and taste organic and original food. The experience is worth the price.
