Private Tour to the Nubian Village and Felucca Ride in Aswan

We had an absolutely fabulous afternoon with Omar on the tour. We were picked up promptly from our hotel and taken on a gorgeous felucca up the Nile before heading back down to the Nubian village. We stopped off for a little swim before exploring the village and having some lovely hibiscus tea and snacks. Omar was kind, attentive and fascinating with his tales of the Nubian culture and life. Finally we had a gorgeous sunset trip back to Aswan where he kindly had the boat drop us off at a restaurant he recommended (absolutely delicious!). 100% recommend if you are in Aswan.

We had an amazing time with Omar on this tour! We wanted tour that was a break from all the temple/ancient Egypt tours and experience a “local/slice of life” vibe..this was a perfect option! Omar picked us up at our boat lobby and took us on his brother’s felucca, which was beautifully decorated and was extremely comfortable. We were presented with Egyptian tea and had a chat about Nubian life. We sailed through the Nile and he explained the history along the banks of Aswan and even stopped for a quick dip in the Nile to cool off (what a unique experience)! We then visited a beautiful Nubian v

The tour included two boat rides—a peaceful and relaxing felucca ride, followed by a motorboat ride outside the city and deeper into the biodiversity of the River Nile. Along the way, Omar shared his knowledge and pointed out different bird species. At the Nubian village, we arrived from a different side than the other boats, which allowed us to skip the crowds. I really enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend booking it with Omar.

Très belle expérience et très belle immersion dans la culture nubienne grâce à Omar. Nous avons terminé le tour en feliuque un moment hors du commun.

I had an amazing experience riding and swimming in the Nile, visiting the Nubian village, learning about the medicinal herbs and spices, petting a crocodile, and having a friendly chat with Omar! This experience exceeded my expectations and Omar was a great host! His knowledge and connection to the Nubian culture was very authentic. He went above and beyond with providing excellent hospitality. He felt more like a friend than a guide. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who would like to learn more about the Nubian culture from a trusted guide.

I had an amazing afternoon in Aswan thanks to this trip 😊 The felucca ride was great, as it was the visit to the Nubian village. Omar was very prepared and answered all my questions. Also the trip was perfectly planned, so I even managed to enjoy a beautiful sunset on the Nile from the boat!
