Itinerary

Afternoon Pickup:
Begin your journey with a hotel pickup in Aswan and a short transfer to the Nile dock, where your motorboat awaits. Glide across the calm waters of the Nile, passing lush green banks and small islands dotted with birds and palm trees. The ride itself offers a peaceful introduction to life along the river.

Arrival at the Nubian Village:
Upon reaching the Nubian Village, you'll be welcomed by vibrant murals, traditional houses painted in bold colors, and the warm hospitality of the Nubian people. Walk through narrow alleys lined with artisan shops selling handmade jewelry, spices, and fabrics. You’ll also have the chance to visit a local home and learn about the unique Nubian customs, language, and lifestyle from your guide.

Cultural Experience:
Enjoy a refreshing hibiscus tea or cool juice while listening to stories about Nubian heritage, music, and daily life. Some homes even host small crocodile displays, part of an old tradition that still fascinates visitors today. This visit provides a beautiful contrast to the grandeur of temples by connecting you with a living culture.

Return to Hotel or Cruise ship:
After your visit, you’ll return by boat to Aswan, taking in the river views once more. You’ll arrive back at your hotel or cruise ship in the early afternoon, with time to relax or explore further on your own.
