    Nice Concept, Poor Execution - Skip the Camel Ride

    We booked this tour for our group of 6 and had mixed feelings about the experience. The Good: Our guide George was friendly and well-dressed (full black suit and white shirt in 85-degree heat, which my sister found endearing though I think a polo would have been more practical). Two sweet 14-year-old Nubian boys steered our boat - they were on school holiday and helping their families earn money using their father’s boat. We tipped them generously. At the village, we met Mustafa, the tour company owner, who gave us interesting background on Nubian history and how the dam forced migration. The villagers were friendly and welcoming. We walked past colorful restaurants with beautiful murals that made for nice photos. The Problems: First, be warned there were lots of flies during our visit. We spent the entire time swatting them from our faces. We declined the home visit with tea ceremony as it felt exploitative to us, though this was offered. The camel ride completely fell apart. The listing advertises “a peaceful ride along the Nile River bank” but what we got was a chaotic ride through the local market. The camels were aggressive and didn’t listen to handlers well. We kept bumping into each other and it was stressful, not peaceful. Nothing like the calm camels we rode at the Giza Pyramids. Worse, the moment we got off, the camel handlers became aggressive about tips. My wife, niece, and sister felt harassed, which really upset me. I gave them several hundred Egyptian pounds and they were clearly unhappy. We walked away but it completely ruined the experience. The village itself doesn’t have much to see. We browsed the market, haggled for a few items, and were ready to leave 30 minutes before the tour ended. On the return boat ride, small children on paddleboats latched onto our motorboat singing for tips. My Advice: Skip this organized tour entirely. Hire a local felucca captain directly for a few hundred Egyptian pounds, boat to the village yourself, and walk around independently. The organized tour and especially the camel component are not worth the price. George and the company were nice enough people, but the value isn’t there and the aggressive tipping culture around the camels was uncomfortable. The Nubian village is worth seeing for the colors and culture, just do it on your own terms.

    Scam, Dont waste your time, money on this Tour Operator! Stay away.

    This so-called tour to the Nubian Village by boat was an absolute travesty and a blatant rip-off, squandering precious time and hard-earned money on nothing but frustration. The guide barreled through the itinerary like a maniac, dictating every second without allowing a shred of personal freedom or leisure – we were herded like sheep with zero autonomy. The advertised camel ride? Non-existent, a shameless lie that reeks of deceptive marketing designed to lure in unsuspecting victims. Their WhatsApp customer service was pathetically inept, bordering on non-functional, amplifying the misery tenfold. Do yourself a favor and skip this fraudulent outfit entirely, negotiate directly with a local boatman to dodge this abysmal service and outright false promises. Sure, the Nubian Village hold some vague charm if approached independently, but this dreadful operator poisoned the entire experience from the start, turning what could be tolerable into a regrettable ordeal. Insist on exploring at your own rhythm – anything but this incompetent disaster. Be wary and protect yourself please.

    Day Trip to Nubian Village with Camel Tour from Aswan: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.

    How much does Day Trip to Nubian Village with Camel Tour from Aswan cost?

    +

    Prices start at $30 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 Day Trip to Nubian Village with Camel Tour from Aswan take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Day Trip to Nubian Village with Camel Tour from Aswan worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 101 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 Day Trip to Nubian Village with Camel Tour from Aswan?

    +

    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 Day Trip to Nubian Village with Camel Tour from Aswan suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Day Trip to Nubian Village with Camel Tour from Aswan?

    +

    Around 35 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Day Trip to Nubian Village with Camel Tour from Aswan 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.

    What are the best things to do in Aswan?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Aswan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3 or 2 or 1 Nights Mighty Nile Felucca Adventure, 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor - Private Tour, 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor&Abu Simbel+Balloon. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    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?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
