Nubian Village Day Tour Itinerary

Your journey begins as you are picked up by your friendly guide from your hotel lobby or the dock of your luxurious Nile cruise. After brief introductions, you board a comfortable vehicle and embark on your cultural expedition with a sense of eager anticipation and excitement to experience something truly unique.

As you arrive at the glistening banks of the River Nile, a traditional wooden motorboat awaits to ferry you across the mighty waters in utmost luxury and comfort. The gentle rhythm of the boat and cool breeze allows you to relax and take in the picturesque scenery of lush greenery and vibrant village life unfolding along the banks as you sail towards your destination.

Nestled harmoniously on the fertile Western shores is the charming Nubian village, located strategically near the magnificent man-made Aswan Dam and the scenic Soheil Island. This placement has ensured accessibility while retaining the authentic ambiance and cultural integrity the community is renowned for over centuries.

As you cruise past, the rocky outcrops and gushing waters of the scenic First Cataract dancing gracefully amid nature's beauty takes your breath away. You gaze in wonder at the picture-postcard vistas unfolding around you, instantly captivated by the natural splendor coupled with a touch of adventure.

With warmth comparable to the golden Egyptian sun, a gracious Nubian family welcomes you into their abode. Seeking to form a heartfelt connection, they happily take you under their wing and introduce you to their generous spirit and way of life through first-hand experiences and engaging conversations.

Your cultural expedition comes to an end all too soon, leaving you with memories to cherish for life. Laden with new insights and universal lessons of generosity, humility and living in harmony, you bid farewell to your gracious hosts hoping to cross paths again. As your boat navigates back with the sunset's glow, you reflect on this special experience that peeled layers beyond superficial sightseeing. The deep community bonding, glimpse of history through generations and reaffirmation of our shared dreams have enriched you beyond any tour. You have gained more than observers - true friends who will welcome you back as family in this oasis of cultural significance on the Nile.

Unforgettable Egyptian trip! Our trip to Egypt was incredible, thanks to an amazing team. In Cairo, Hesham was a spectacular guide, bringing history to life. Afterward, we flew to Aswan for a phenomenal Nile cruise—the staff was outstanding, and the food was delicious.Siwa Oasis was another highlight. Yusef guided us through sandboarding adventures, a stunning desert sunset, and even took us to the market on our last day after we missed it due to religious celebrations. We truly made a friend in him.Huge thanks to Hesham, Yusef, Kiro, Mahmoud, and the whole team for making this a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

My Amazing stay in Egypt I arranged with this travel agency tours in Cairo and Luxor. They were extremely friendly and helpful. All transportation was on time and great tour guys. Drivers were so attentive and were always on time. I also booked my nights in Cairo in their Australian Hostel and staff was so friendly and welcoming. Rooms were cleaned and the hostel was in a great central location in Cairo downtown.

Incredible experience The tour was really good. Our tour guide, Heshan, was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole tour, very professional and very keen on teaching us whatever we wanted to learn about. We did a Pyrammids and Sakkara necropolis day tour and we asked for a few extra sites to visit which normally are outside of the program (pyramids of Dahshur) and the agency had no problem in adapting the program so that we could explore what we wanted. Amazing experience and recommend it to everyone.

The trip of a lifetime with Travel joy! Can’t say this enough: AMAZING EXPERIENCE! My wife and I were in Cairo for 3 days with a few friends on the way to a wedding in Hurghada and we booked all our Cairo experiences with Travel Joy.

Special shout out to Emily who was very patient and helpful helping me design our trip, Michael the best tour guide there can be (really funny too), and Kero who was a life saver. Could not ask for a more dedicated and committed group of professionals. We felt very safe and supported.

Excellent experience with Travel Joy Egypt Tour OMG! It couldn't be better! Our trip was only 3 days in Cairo and Luxor. Omar's team really knows what he is doing, they coordinated everything perfectly, guide in Spanish, transfers, Nile cruise, we really enjoyed the food, they took us to really good places. We didn't have to worry about anything just getting there. We really enjoyed our stay in Egypt, the guides are really good, they explain everything wonderfully in Spanish and took us to the places we were interested in! They took spectacular photos of us and always on the lookout for everything from picking us up at the airport to returning us there! If you want to live an experience without worries in this beautiful country, I really recommend them very much! Thank you for everything, I'm sure we'll be back with you!

Gain a nuanced understanding of their well-preserved cultural identity, adapting splendidly to modern times without compromising rich roots.

Savoring the Natural Beauty
