he 2-Day Aswan & Nubian Experience offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and authentic local life. This private tour allows you to explore Aswan’s ancient landmarks while also spending meaningful time discovering the traditions and daily life of the Nubian people.

Book the tour

On the first day, the tour begins with a visit to the Philae Temple, beautifully located on Agilkia Island in the middle of the Nile. Dedicated to the goddess Isis, this temple is famous for its elegant columns, peaceful courtyards, and rich carvings that tell the stories of gods, pharaohs, and ancient rituals. The temple was saved from rising Nile waters and carefully relocated in the 20th century to preserve its incredible beauty and historical value.

After exploring Philae, the journey continues to the Nubian Museum, one of Egypt’s finest cultural museums. Here, you will discover the powerful story of the Nubian people, who have lived along the Nile for thousands of years. The museum’s exhibits showcase Nubian art, traditional clothing, pottery, jewelry, and daily life, providing a deep understanding of this vibrant culture that played a significant role in Egypt’s past. The museum also explains the impact of the Aswan High Dam and how entire Nubian communities were relocated as Lake Nasser expanded.

On the second day, the tour focuses on an authentic Nubian village experience. You will travel by boat along the Nile to reach a traditional Nubian village, where you can walk through the colorful streets, meet local families, and learn about their customs, language, and unique architectural styles. This is an opportunity to see Nubian homes, visit local schools, and hear firsthand stories about life along the Nile.

The day also includes a felucca ride on the Nile, a peaceful and relaxing sailing experience aboard a traditional Egyptian boat. The gentle ride offers beautiful views of Aswan’s islands, desert landscapes, and ancient ruins, allowing you to connect with the natural beauty of the region.

This 2-Day Aswan & Nubian Experience is ideal for travelers who want more than just sightseeing. It’s a chance to explore Egypt’s ancient wonders while also experiencing the living culture of the Nubian people in a personal, respectful, and memorable way.

A Beautiful Combination of Ancient History and Living Culture

The 2-Day Aswan & Nubian Experience is a rich, immersive tour that gives you the chance to explore both the grand temples of ancient Egypt and the modern-day life of the Nubian people. This journey balances archaeological discovery with cultural connection, offering travelers a complete experience of what makes Aswan so unique.

It’s the perfect tour for visitors who want to go beyond the usual sites and experience the heart of Nubian traditions and local life.
