Trip To Nubian Village In Aswan
Overview
Situated in the waters of the Nile is the beautiful island of Elephantine. They have thrived on Elephantine Island thanks to their abilities. The Nubians have been able to add another feather to their bow with the advent of tourism on the island, which is luckily still comparatively undeveloped: their gracious and kind welcome.
Admire the Nubian people's artistic talent via their handcrafted ceramics, colorful fabrics, and elaborate beading. Consider bringing a piece of Nubian handicraft home with you as a memento of this exceptional cultural experience on your trips to Aswan.
Egypt’s Aswan is Small yet full of personality. The southernmost city has a distinct appeal from the rest of the nation, partly because of its ties to Nubian culture. In comparison to other Egyptian cities, particularly the more crowded cities of the Nile Delta, it also moves more slowly.
For all these reasons, Aswan is worth a visit, not just a hub for traveling to Abu Simbel. Here we present everything you need to know about Aswan: what to see in Aswan and its surroundings, how to get there, and other interesting information. And don't forget that Egipto Exclusivo can help you organize a tailor-made experience, with personalized services of the utmost professionalism.

Itinerary
You will be met from any place in Aswan, whether it is a hotel, a Nile cruise, or even a private residence, to transfer you. You will next board the boats that will transport you to the Nubian hamlet on the Nile. The Nile Valley, which lies between Luxor and Aswan, is a historically and culturally significant region that offers tourists a captivating glimpse into the heart of ancient Egypt.
These sites are frequently visited during a day trip or boat between these two ancient towns. The Nubian village houses along the roads are reminiscent of African settlements. We recommend exploring Elephantine Island in the late afternoon, when the villages come alive. The Nubian population is friendly and welcoming. We even found ourselves participating in a soccer match during our last stroll around Elephantine!
On the island of Gharb Soheil, Nubians offer curious visitors guest rooms in their own homes. For the former, it's a means of earning a living and preserving their cultural heritage; for the latter, it's a new kind of tourist experience.
A few minutes of sailing on the Nile are enough to see a beautiful, colorful picture appear in the distance. Houses are scattered all around, their facades adorned with multicolored designs that are seen nowhere else. This is the island of Gharb Soheil, located about 15 km southwest of Aswan. It can be accessed either by the sandy bank of Barbare, then continued on camelback to reach the village, or from the opposite side by climbing steps that lead directly to this Nubian village.
Locals greet guests and teach them about Nubian culture as soon as they arrive, and they do it with great warmth. All of the residences' doors are ajar there. You can come and spend a day or even a few days on the banks of the Nile, far from modernity. After your enjoyable Aswan tours, the car will be prepared to drive you back to your hotel or any other desired place.
