Pick Up
Your Aswan Nubian Village tour begins when our representative greets you at your selected location and transfers you to the Nile port, where you’ll start the adventure.
Scenic Nile boat ride to Soheil Island
You’ll embark on a 30-minute motorboat ride heading south to the west bank of the Nile to reach our destination at Soheil Island. Along the way, you’ll witness the breathtaking landscape of Aswan and enjoy the magical scenes of the Nile, golden sands, and palm trees. Then, we arrive at a peaceful beach where you can swim or relax on the shore before continuing our trip.
The Nubian village
Upon arrival at Soheil Island, you’ll ride a camel to reach the Nubian village of “Gharb Soheil”.
Once you arrive at the Village, you notice the unique style of architecture demonstrated in the small houses with colorful facades and vibrant wall paintings.
You have a lot to do during the Aswan Nubian Village tour. Firstly, you can stroll through the cheerful streets of the village and get a close insight into Nubian life and traditions, meet the Nubian people, and experience their warm hospitality so you feel like you’re at your home. You can also be welcomed in one of the local houses and enjoy sipping a cup of hibiscus tea with a Nubian family. During this visit, you may see crocodiles because Nubians keep them in large tanks inside their houses.
Besides, there are usually live Nubian music and dance performances in the Nubian village, so you can enjoy the delightful atmosphere of traditional art.
For women, trying a henna tattoo drawn by a local Nubian woman is another exciting activity to do.
