Good experience
Excellent experience at Nubian Village. Our guide was very friendly, attentive, and always made sure we were comfortable. He made our visit very enjoyable. Highly recommended!
via Viator
Very good experience
It has been a very good experience. Our guide Kalil contacted me to keep me informed; he picked us up at our cruise and we set off with the felucca towards the island with the botanical garden. After a while there, he picked us up to give us a bath in the Nile. He was giving us explanations in English about what we were seeing. We arrived at the Nubian village, and there he took us to a house where they offered us various types of tea, water, there are bathrooms, we saw crocodiles, and we got a henna tattoo. We did not go up with the cars to the viewpoint, nor was it necessary seeing that they were being driven by some kids at full speed. After a stroll through the market, we told him when we wanted to return, and we did so with the fatigue of the day. Highly recommended, much more economical than with the cruise; plus, the boat was just for us, a marvel.

Smooth sailing to the Nubian Village
We booked the tour a few hours in advance and ended up having the boat to ourselves. Very smooth sail to the Nubian village with amazing sights. We had 1 free hour there to explore, which was enough time. The captain didn't speak anything in English, but it didn't impact the tour at all, just made it a bit complicated to find the right spot and get in the ship. Great price per quality, well recommended.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind feedback 🙏 We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed the trip and had a smooth and comfortable experience with us. It’s great to know everything went well, even with the short-notice booking, and that you were able to enjoy the Nubian Village and the beautiful views along the way. We also appreciate your note regarding communication on the boat. We understand how that can sometimes make coordination a bit more challenging, and we will take this into consideration to improve the experience for future guests. Thank you again for your recommendation and for choosing us. We hope to welcome you again soon for another memorable experience in Egypt 🇪🇬✨

Nubian Village Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.
How much does Nubian Village Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $25 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 Nubian Village Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 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 Nubian Village Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 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 Nubian Village Tour?
+
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 Nubian Village Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Nubian Village Tour?
+
Around 3 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Nubian Village Tour 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.
What is included in Nubian Village Tour?
+
Included: Bottled water. Not included: Dinner. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Nubian Village Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 4 listed pickup locations in and around Aswan. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Nubian Village Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Nubian Village Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Transportation options are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Nubian Village Tour if the weather is bad?
+
