Our tour to the Nubian Village was spectacular. Our tour guide Marwa was very welcoming, polite, professional and knowledgeable. She suggested we take the tour during the beginning of sunset on a private boat which turned out being perfect. She shared many good facts, history about the culture Aswan, Nubia and Egypt. We even learned a little bit of common Arabic phrases which was a nice touch. To end the tour, she brought us to an amazing Nubian restaurant with the best authentic food. I still can’t stop thinking about how good the food was! Overall a good tour, with a great tour guide. Than you Marwa!

What an amazing time ! I had Nermien as a guide, who is just lovely ! I was very happy to have an Egyptian woman, with whom I exchanged a lot, on various subjects. It helped me to connect and understand the local culture better. She was patient and caring. She was happy to have a chat when I wanted to, or simply let me enjoy a nap on the boat. We had amazing local food at a typical Nubian house. (On top of that, great price price for the trip!) I strongly recommend it.

ERENY was our guide for the Nubian Village Excursion,
Thanks to her explanation we discovered a fantastic culture. She knows a lot about Aswan and the Nubian Culture and is always open to answer all the question you might have.
She also helped us to arrange our visits in The Cairo and because the tour was so great we also desided to have a nigh walk tour around Aswan with her.
In my opinion, one of the best guides I have ever met during my trips all around the world.
