    Aisha was wonderful. In fact she wasn’t far the best guide we had all week in Egypt and if we could’ve taken her with us across the country we would have. Her English is excellent but the way she explains things and gives you back stories just adds to her charm and the story. We visited the Philae temple with her and the Nubian villages. Both wonderful experiences . She was brilliant with my elderly parents who were on a slower pace, needed more time and clearer explanation. She was very patient with us and ok about us arriving late - she was constantly in contact with our hotel and previous d

    Prise en charge par le guide à l'heure, visite efficace et selon nos envies, le guide s'est montré compréhensif et disponible, très peu de monde, on s'est senti presque privilégié avec le petit repas chez l'habitant et le cours privé d'arabe à l'école dans le village nubien. Je recommande!

    Aisha, our guide, was excellent. She gave us great details and context about each of the places we visited. The tour started right on time. This tour was at the end of our stay in Egypt and allowed us to learn more about the Nubian culture, which we knew very little about. It was a great way to deepen our knowledge and sparked our curiosity to learn more.

    The experience is good. The ride is comfortable. The tour guide is attentive to you, and she provided good information. I like the tour company and would recommend going with them again. However, I like the temple more than going to the nubian village. There are too many hagglers at the village. They always try to sell you something. If there is a tour just going to temple, I would do that alone.
