Nubian village tour highly recommended - Wonderful trip with Shamiaa- her English was excellent and she clearly explained everything pointed out all the sites on the trip down the river snd answered all our random questions. The tour of the village was lovely, including the tour of the Nubian house and the refreshments. Shamiaa was an excellent guide, it was a lovely afternoon.

On January third 2023 I... - On January third 2023 I had a private boat tour to the Nubian village and philae temple with Shymaa(شيماء). I can easily say it was a 10/10 experience, Shymaa explained everything about the Nubian and temple fluently in Arabic and English, aswell as the hotel pickup, boat rides, and transportations were waiting for us at our arrival. She gave us a detailed tour aswell as our own free time to spend exploring with the family.

Beautiful experience - Beautiful experience, a must see in Aswan. Our tour guide Shimaa was amazing, even if we departed a bit late she had the patience to show and explain us everything. The motorboat ride on the Nile at the sunset was impressive and the hospitality of the Nubian people humbled us . We will be back one day and that time we will sleep in the Nubian village , the simple life and the silence of the place it's a must to be experienced.

Wonderful 5 star treatment - Enjoyed this wonderful experience with Mohammed, Mr. Aswan! Let's start by saying Mr. Aswan is fantastic! Picked my husband and I up right from the Nile via motor boat. He not only gave us all the info we wanted about Nubia and the people but even more! We stopped by the village and got to visit a nubian home and enjoyed tea as we chatted. He also gave suggestions along the way to make our experience unique and unlike any other. We even made a stop and swam in the Nile with the locals. Please book this tour. You will not regret it!
