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, 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.
