“Lovely sail and visit to Nubian village - This was our favorite tour in Egypt. Our guide, Omar was very kind and welcoming. He brought us on a beautiful sail on the Nile, explaining all of the local landmarks on the shores. He offered us tea with fresh mint and even mangoes fresh from his family’s farm. He walked us through a lovely Nubian village where we went to a local home for tea as well as a spice shop. The cherry on top was being able to hold a crocodile.” (Reviewed at: 2024-11-06)

“Relaxing day trip in Aswan - Nice relaxing day in Aswan. Both the Felucca ride and motor boat ride were truly memorable and the Nubian Village is a must-see in Aswan. Mohamed was very professional and knowledgeable, sharing with us some of the local history. He even helped me buy an electrical AC/DC adapter at a local store at local prices (not foreigner prices). We asked to be dropped off at a restaurant in town and he helped us catch a local cab back to the hotel. Overall a wonderful experience. Highly recommended.” (Reviewed at: 2024-12-29)
