Amazing Look Into Modern Nubian Culture and Life on the Nile - Mr. Omar is an amazing human who welcomed us, as a local, into the life of Nubian culture and life by the river Nile in Aswan.
He patiently handled all our questions as he expertly guided us through the streets of the village and his community. We truly appreciated the opportunity to explore a Nubian house and the local markets.
Additionally, and not to be underestimated, as part of the experience we enjoyed a most relaxing private cruise along the river Nile in a felluca, around sunset, with Omar's brother and a charming young lad working the lines as first mate. A magical evening!

Great experience - Omar is a great guide that patiently explains you Egyptian culture and the points of interest.
We did the Nubian and Felouque activity but also had another experience before with him, exploring the Great Dam and the Philae Temple.
We were so pleased, that we decided to book also this one.
I've had several guides on Egypt and Omar is surely the best one we had.
Don't hesitate to book with him.

Best guided tour in Aswan - It was such a wonderful experience. Our tour guide Mr Omar Kashy is very passionate and knowledgeable person who explains all the details and backgrounds. We had different tour during this Egypt trip and this is definitely the highlight of our Egypt trip. We definitely prefer him as a tour guide and he would be best for Aswan tours! Highly recommended and both me and my husbands are very happy with our trip. Thanks Omar

Best Tour in Aswan. Highly Recommend - Just finished this tour and honestly it’s the best tour in Aswan
Communication is top notch from the moment you book
Omar is amazing, friendly and very knowledgable. He is Nubian so he knows all the people.
You start with a great motorboat ride down the Nile to the village. Then you hang out at a local family’s house which is beautiful. Plus you get to hold a baby crocodile in the house with a pic
Then you take a relaxing felucca ride back up the Nile
Also Omar provides water and tea and other treats
This tour is more relaxing and fun than the other temple tours and I can’t recommend it enough

Not to be missed - An experience you absolutely must do. If you think it's a tourist trap, nothing could be further from the truth. It's an authentic Nubian village. To get there you take a pleasant trip on the Nile, relaxing, which in itself fills you with wonder. You discover the Nubian area and then you arrive at the village. Yes, there are many shops but none are pushy. Then you can visit a typical Nubian house where the owner will welcome you with a delicious mint tea and some snacks. And to finish off, a felucca on the Nile... what can I say, to do again. Maybe to stop a night in the village, maybe to try Nubian food, maybe to discover the secrets of spices. All accompanied by Omar, our wonderful guide, thanks Omar for this beautiful experience!

Visiting the land of gold - It was a wonderful experience with Omar . He is one of the indigenous people of Aswan “Nubian”. He lives in one of the Nubian villages by the river. Took us in breathtaking trip with his boat visiting the Nubian village. He gave us a good knowledge about the Nubian culture and the history of Aswan. We met Mrs Soma enjoyed the local drink and met her guest from the “ the old land “ .
The sailing boat took the trip to another level.
Definitely we gonna visit again.
Thanks Omar ,Basheer and safi for your great hospitality.

Super 👍🏻 - أول مرة نزور أسوان بلد جميلة وأهلها أجمل حجزنا مع أ. عمر رحلة للقرية النوبية وقارب فلوكة، مواعيده ممتازة وأسلوبه شيق ومفيد في الشرح خصوصًا إنه من النوبة. عشنا تجربة البيت النوبي وأشترينا من السوق تذكارات جميلة. ورحلة قارب الفلوكة كانت تجربة مختلفة ورائعة. رحلة جميلة وممتعة بكل المقاييس أنصح بها وبشدة وبإذن الله نحجز معاه تاني الرحلات القادمة ..
Our first time visiting Aswan, a beautiful place with even more beautiful people. Mr. Omer took us to the Nubian village and felucca boat. His timing was excellent. He is very knowledgeable and the tour was very interesting, especially he is from Nuba. We lived the experience of Nubian house and bought beautiful souvenirs from the market. The felucca boat trip was awesome experience. A beautiful and enjoyable trip by all standards. I highly recommend it and for sure, we will book with him another trip next time ..

A Perfect Adventure - I had an amazing time on this trip! Omar, our guide, was just awesome—super knowledgeable and really caring. It made everything so much better because he's Nubian himself and shared loads of cool facts about Aswan and the Nubian culture.
The day started with a beautiful boat ride to the Nubian Village, which was such a lovely experience. When we got there, Omar set up a camel ride for me. The camel was well taken care of, and the ride was reasonably priced, with no pushy salespeople—just a great experience all around!
Then I got to visit a Nubian house, where they welcomed me with typical Nubian snacks and shared so much about their lifestyle. There were even a few surprises that made it extra special.
Omar was amazing and really made my day unforgettable. I highly recommend this trip if you want to explore Nubian culture and see the beauty of Aswan.
I'll always have great memories of this day. Thank you, Omar!

Omar is a guide with exceptional knowledge since he is himself Nubian (lot of information on Aswan, the Nubian people and other).
We had an incredible boat ride to the Nubian Village on our arrival Omar allowed us to take 0a Camel ride (very well respected Camels for a very reasonable price and "without insistence"
Afterwards we visited a Nubian House where they
Offered us a typical Nubian snack !
