Nubian village with felucca ride - This was a perfect solo private tour of the Nubian Village with a scenic felucca ride on the Nile—one of the absolute highlights of my Aswan trip. Being just me in the group made it completely personalized, relaxed, and unhurried.
Our guide, Omar—a Nubian himself—was outstanding: incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and full of authentic stories about Nubian culture and history.
The felucca sail was peaceful and beautiful, with stunning Nile views.
In the vibrant Nubian Village, the colorful houses and welcoming local hospitality were wonderful.
The big highlight: safely handling a baby Nile crocodile—such a thrilling and unforgettable moment!
Everything ran seamlessly from pickup to drop-off. If you’re in Aswan, book this private tour with Omar for an authentic, memorable experience that’s all yours. Highly recommend!

Nubian Village Tour & More! - Omar our tour guide was fantastic and shared his vast knowledge and insight into Nubian history and culture. As we walked through the village, we were invited to have tea in one of the local houses, which was a lovely touch. The tour also included a Felucca ride which was terrific and we even managed to find time for a paddle in the river Nile. All in all, an amazing and highly enjoyable 3 1/2 hours.

Felucca ride & Nubian Village - The Felucca ride and visit to the Nubian Village was an incredible experience! The tour began sailing peacefully along the Nile on a traditional felucca, enjoying the calm atmosphere and beautiful scenery. Afterwards, we continued by boat to the Nubian Village.
Throughout the journey, our guide Mido shared the history of the place with great detail and enthusiasm. When we arrived at the village, we were warmly welcomed by the locals with a traditional welcome drink. We walked through the colorful streets, and it turned into a truly wonderful morning.

Authentic experience, great guide - I had an amazing experience riding and swimming in the Nile, visiting the Nubian village, learning about the medicinal herbs and spices, petting a crocodile, and having a friendly chat with Omar! This experience exceeded my expectations and Omar was a great host! His knowledge and connection to the Nubian culture was very authentic. He went above and beyond with providing excellent hospitality. He felt more like a friend than a guide. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who would like to learn more about the Nubian culture from a trusted guide.

A fantastic afternoon in the nubian village - We had an amazing experience thanks to Omar, who was truly one of the best guides we encountered in Egypt. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also kind and attentive.
The tour gave us a genuine glimpse into the authentic life of the Nubian village, and we loved visiting a beautiful, untouched part of the Nile where you can even take a swim.
We ended the afternoon with a peaceful felucca ride at sunset, absolutely magical and not to be missed. Highly recommended!

Recommended - The guide was nice with a level of english good enough to understand everything he says, feluka ride was very calming and relaxing, Nubian Village is great, highly recommend 👍🏻
For Italians: the guide will take you to a spice seller who speaks good Italian and has good products. Even if you do not want to buy anything it is worth watching the show that puts in place to present the products. (Who cares also has smoke)
