Folks: Of course this is a tourist place and many people live from us: And of course the small meal you get an the houses to visit are set up as well as all the painted houses with the crocodiles on the walls. But: It is by far more the real thing than any Disneyland, the people depend on you... More

We'd arranged to have dinner here and it was truly superb! We went before sunset and watched henna being expertly applied by Nubian ladies. We could have had a camel ride if we'd wanted, but we were content just to sit on the roof and watch the sun go down. There are some Nile Crocodiles which may or may not... More

We took a 40 minute boat ride to reach the village from downtown Aswan. The tour included visiting the school, learning Nubian and Egyptian Arabic language basics, playing soccer with local kids and having lunch in a Nubian home. We were greeted by a town elder and he took us to the school. We were followed by a group of... More

I really don't like this trip. It could be a great insight into the Nubian way of life, which is an important part of the history of Egypt and the displacement of these people due to the building of the high dam. However, the trip is focused around a 'Nubian house' where they house a crocodile in a crate or... More

We were invited into a Nubian home for a lovely dinner. Eleven people live in the house which was quite large. The dinner was varied and tasty and the host was very informative. It is so nice to experience the culture in an informal way when travelling in a new country. Highly recommended.

We did this as part of a Peregrine Tour that advocated responsible tourism. It is a great policy. We were lucky to have been able to visit the village an see how the people live. I found this very interesting. We were collected by boat and taken to the village and escorted at night across the sand hills on the... More

Our guide took us to one Nubian house slightly upriver from Aswan. We reached this village by motor boat that took us through small islands rich in birdlife (great photo opportunities). We enjoyed the brief tour our host gave us of his extensive home (about 20 people live here in a random arrangement of rooms on two floors), we sampled... More

Me and my mon had a lot of fun in the Nubian village. The shoping was great, nubians are less agressive than the other sellers in Egypt so you can browse in peace. We also enjoied a camel ride. It may be not so interesting for people that have been in other parts of Africa but for us (first time)... More
