great food and lovely sights to see

Published on Feb, 2024

this is an excellent trip to go on on if you have the stomach for long journeys on the water . the nile was beautifl and it was great to take in all the views , kom ombo and philae are especially beautiful at night , at the sound and light in philae you can experience something completely new and refreshing then visiting during the daytime hours , and the island cats are to die for , they are so sweet ! the tour staff is also very friendly and wonderful chefs if you love to eat good food . this trip is a must at least once in your life if you are able .

Nubian village tour highly recommended

Published on Mar, 2023

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.

Published on Jan, 2023

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

Published on Dec, 2022

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.

Great Trip!

Published on Jun, 2022

Ayman was an excellent tour guide. He provided in depth information about the Nubian Village, the Nile River, and Egypt as a whole. He was friendly, personable, and made it a great experience. We truly enjoyed our trip and would definitely recommend it.
