Egyptian holiday in Aswan - Omar picked us up on time at our Nile Cruise ship and his English is excellent. He was very knowledgeable about everything we were going to see and answered all our questions. He looked after us well and was a delightful young man with a lively personality. Viator has provided the perfect experience again. Thank you.

A wonderful and authentic... - A wonderful and authentic experience in Aswan. The tour was well organized, very personal, and gave us a great insight into Nubian culture. Our guide was very friendly and welcoming. The boat ride was very special and we got to see the Nile at sunset. Among other sights we visited his brother’s shop and it was a lovely surprise—they were incredibly kind and even gave us a beautiful gift. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a genuine cultural experience.

Despite the heat, the guide Moataz was helpful. - Very helpful guide Mr Moataz. He ecplained everything to us in details. Though we were tired he continued to cheer us during the journey. It was very hot but in the nile river it was cool in the boat.

The boat of happiness - Moataz is incredibly joyful and passionate about his nubian culture. You'll get to see incredible colours and taste organic and original food. The experience is worth the price.

Beware : Nit worth your Time waiting on vacation just get a water taxi and do it yourself - I was very disappointed with the tour for the following reason 1.He only took us to a Nubian house and down the street to a few of his friends shop. Nothing else !!!! When he wasn’t talking he was on his cell phone. Everything that was described in the summary in Viator were lies. Don’t waste your time or money going with The Nubian village just go to the Nubian museum it not worth $33.00 maybe $ 15.00 I wish I could get a refund back of half the money.
