Incredible Aswan Experience

This trip was absolutely amazing!! Alaaedine went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time. He was so friendly and accommodating. He took us on a sunset Nile cruise which was magical and we had tea in a traditional Nubian family home. He then took us into downtown Aswan and showed us around the souks. Would recommend this to anyone who wants a good mix of sights to see in Aswan!

Good activity in leisure time

We had a great time with Ahmed on our Nubian excursion. We had a great boat ride thru Nile to the village followed by Nubian house overview. The main attraction was the pet crocodiles. I recommend this activity if you have leisure time.

Guide Mohamed (Mo) was incredible, answering all my doubts and helped me with the photos! She also made sure to meet my expectations as at the end, she was not satisfied with the tour and was very efficient and friendly to try to resolve.

Wonderful day with lots to see

Ahmed was so wonderful today and made sure we made the most of our time. We had a great day, he went out of his way to help us from start to finish and really made the effort to get my two year old to enjoy herself too. Really glad we went!

Amazing trip

Mo took me on a fascinating trip to the Nubian island. It was like sailing away to a far and distant land of an ancient culture, but without the distance! Mo taught me all about Nubian life,m, and he patiently took many great pictures on my phone! Mo is a great guide!

Great tour by Aladdin

Aladdin's Nubian tour was fantastic! He even arranged a special sunset felucca ride for us the next day because we couldn’t complete it on the same day. Great service and definitely recommend him for anyone traveling to aswan

Great experience with authentic food!

Our tour to the Nubian Village was spectacular. Our tour guide Marwa was very welcoming, polite, professional and knowledgeable. She suggested we take the tour during the beginning of sunset on a private boat which turned out being perfect. She shared many good facts, history about the culture Aswan, Nubia and Egypt. We even learned a little bit of common Arabic phrases which was a nice touch. To end the tour, she brought us to an amazing Nubian restaurant with the best authentic food. I still can’t stop thinking about how good the food was! Overall a good tour, with a great tour guide. Than you Marwa!

Amazing time with a great local (woman :D) guide

What an amazing time ! I had Nermien as a guide, who is just lovely ! I was very happy to have an Egyptian woman, with whom I exchanged a lot, on various subjects. It helped me to connect and understand the local culture better. She was patient and caring. She was happy to have a chat when I wanted to, or simply let me enjoy a nap on the boat. We had amazing local food at a typical Nubian house. (On top of that, great price price for the trip!) I strongly recommend it.
