Descripción general

Experience the magic of Aswan with a day that weaves together Egypt’s ancient past, vibrant Nubian heritage, and the timeless beauty of the Nile. This private tour invites you to explore the enchanting Philae Temple, soak up the colorful culture of a traditional Nubian Village, and sail gently on a felucca, Egypt’s iconic wooden sailboat.

Start your journey with a boat ride to Philae Island, home to the stunning Temple of Isis. Rescued from flooding and now perfectly preserved, this sacred site is a masterpiece of ancient architecture and mythological storytelling. Then, trade stone for color as you visit a Nubian village—a cheerful maze of brightly painted homes, friendly locals, and centuries-old traditions along the Nile’s western banks.

Finally, unwind with a serene felucca ride, drifting along the Nile as the sun dances on the water and palm-fringed islands glide past. This tour is ideal for travelers who want more than sightseeing—it’s a deep cultural immersion and a moment of peaceful connection with Egypt’s living river.

Qué Esperar

Day 1: Visit Philae Temple, Nubian Village & Enjoy a Felucca Ride

Philae Temple – The Sacred Island of Isis
Begin with a scenic motorboat ride across the calm waters of the Nile to Philae Island, a place where legends come to life. As you step onto the island, the majestic Temple of Isis greets you with soaring columns and detailed reliefs depicting tales of divine love, rebirth, and protection. Your guide will walk you through this sacred complex, which was meticulously relocated stone by stone to escape the rising waters of the Aswan High Dam.

Admire the tranquil setting, the fusion of Pharaonic and Greco-Roman architecture, and the spiritual aura that still lingers over this ancient sanctuary.

Nubian Village – A Burst of Color & Culture
Travel by boat along the Nile’s scenic route to reach a Nubian village nestled near the base of the golden desert hills. The village is a joyful burst of life—homes painted in vibrant blues, pinks, and yellows, adorned with murals and symbols passed down for generations.

Walk through the narrow alleys, visit a local family’s home, and hear firsthand stories about Nubian history, culture, and traditions. If you’d like, you can try Nubian tea, see handwoven crafts, or even meet the village’s famous pet crocodiles—kept in honor of ancient customs.

Felucca Ride on the Nile – A Peaceful Drift
Close your day with a relaxing felucca ride, where you’ll sail the Nile in the same way Egyptians have for centuries. Let the wind guide you as you drift past elephantine islands, swaying palms, and golden hills. It’s the perfect way to unwind, reflect, and take in the timeless beauty of Upper Egypt.

Whether you’re snapping photos, soaking up the views, or simply enjoying the gentle rhythm of the water, this experience offers a peaceful and unforgettable connection to the Nile.
