Good activity in leisure time
Published on Nov, 2024
We had a great time with Ahmed on our Nubian excursion. We had a great boat ride thru Nile to the village followed by Nubian house overview. The main attraction was the pet crocodiles. I recommend this activity if you have leisure time.
Wonderful day with lots to see
Published on Aug, 2024
Ahmed was so wonderful today and made sure we made the most of our time. We had a great day, he went out of his way to help us from start to finish and really made the effort to get my two year old to enjoy herself too.
Really glad we went!
Great tour! Highly recommend. The guide was very helpful and informative.

Amazing trip
Published on Mar, 2024
Mo took me on a fascinating trip to the Nubian island. It was like sailing away to a far and distant land of an ancient culture, but without the distance! Mo taught me all about Nubian life,m, and he patiently took many great pictures on my phone! Mo is a great guide!
Great tour by Aladdin
Published on Jan, 2024
Aladdin's Nubian tour was fantastic! He even arranged a special sunset felucca ride for us the next day because we couldn’t complete it on the same day. Great service and definitely recommend him for anyone traveling to aswan
