What you'll see and do
Nubian Museum
Your qualified Egyptologist guide will show you some of the most important artifacts before allowing you free time to explore the museum yourself. in the early 1960's, Egypt built the High Dam at Aswan, Egyptologists & archaeologists the world over heeded UNESCO's appeal to salvage the monuments of Egyptian Nubia before the rising waters of Lake Nasser submerged them forever. UNESCO was encouraged in the 1980's to plan a Nubian museum in Aswan, where the objects could be stored & exhibited. it became a reality and opened in November 1997. The architecture of the Museum and the enclosure walls are intended to evoke traditional Nubian village architecture, as it was along the Nubian Nile before the region was flooded by Lake Nasser. The building is set within a landscape, on graded levels, that includes a sequence of waterfalls. it divides into 2 branches to surround an open-air stage & amphitheater where already many local & foreign groups have performed.

Okay Tour
Guide: Aida Pros: -On time, prompt -Good communication -Flexible with transportation Cons: -Nubian Tour wasn’t really a tour, moreso a visit to a crocodile house and a brief walk through the market. Zero lectures on the village itself, the history, and I needed to ask questions of my own to get a sense of understanding on the area -The Museum tour could have been done without a guide since the exhibits are in English. I did not find much value having a guide while touring the museum. In fact, there were questions asked that she did not have the answer to and she was not aware of Alexander’s encounter with Nubian monarchs for example.

Beautiful Scenery and Great Information
My travel partner and I had a wonderful private tour with Aida. It was very intimate and she provided a wealth of information on the Nubian culture both at the Museum and inside the village. The boat ride to the Nubian Village was relaxing and breathtakingly beautiful. The views from the Nubian House rooftop were AMAZING! And we practiced our bargaining skills with the Nubian salesmen. Aida was even nice enough to arrange transport to/from a good local restaurant for dinner after the tour. A lovely intimate experience.

Great Museum, poor experience.
The Nubian Museum is a wonderful collection, well displayed in a great building. Lots of explanation of Nubian history and culture. However, the chap in the ticket office was almost certainly trying to scam us. He insisted we paid by card and then took my card, put it in the hand held card machine and entered a figure which I couldn’t see and just asked for my pin. I made him start again in full view - he was very angry - I am convinced he would have over charged us and then taken cash from the next visitor…. The visit was almost ruined by a school party who had no interest in the museum and just wanted to hassle us (for money). Teachers had no control.
Response from the operator: Dear Valued Client, Greetings from Sunrise tours Egypt. We thank you so much for sharing your experience with us & the community, so grateful and much appreciated. It was our pleasure to have you among our lovely clients, we look forward to welcoming you again and again with our best wishes to enjoy each moment in your life. sunrise tours team

Professional private tour
We had a great private tour of the Nubian Museum before our river cruise. Sunrise travel and our guide Aida were extremely professional and easy to work with. They arranged to pick us up at airport and take us to the boat after the tour. We would strongly recommend the Museum and Sunrise to anyone looking to get some sightseeing in before a cruise in Aswan.

Aswan private Nubian Museum & Nubian Village tour, friendly Egypt: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.
How much does Aswan private Nubian Museum & Nubian Village tour, friendly Egypt cost?
+
Prices start at $60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Aswan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Aswan private Nubian Museum & Nubian Village tour, friendly Egypt take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Aswan is not rushed.
Is Aswan private Nubian Museum & Nubian Village tour, friendly Egypt worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Aswan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Aswan private Nubian Museum & Nubian Village tour, friendly Egypt?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Aswan private Nubian Museum & Nubian Village tour, friendly Egypt suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Aswan private Nubian Museum & Nubian Village tour, friendly Egypt?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Aswan can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Aswan and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Aswan private Nubian Museum & Nubian Village tour, friendly Egypt start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Aswan within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

When is the best time to visit Aswan?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Aswan?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
