Nosotros hicimos el tour con nuestro guía del barco que contrató una faluca para nosotros. Fue un paseo y un día delicioso. Fuimos a otro pueblo nubio, un anciano profesor nos enseñó el alfabeto y los números en una escuelita decorada con colores vivos, como sus casas. Después nos invitaron a una casa nubia y nos invitaron a te, dulces, quesos y otras viandas. Evidentemente es todo turístico pero lo ingenuo y lo entrañable estaba por encima de todo. Yo diría que de lo mejorcito de todo Egipto.

Our visit to Aswan and the Nubian village was by far the best. It was a great experience filled with so much history and we enjoyed learning about the Nubian way of life. Our tour guide Dowa was amazing. She was very friendly, knowledgeable and hospitable and the boat driver was very friendly as well. We really appreciate them and helping to make our experience a memorable one.
