Tour Itinerary

1 Pickup

Your WOW Egypt Tours representative and driver will pick you up from your hotel, Nile Cruise, Aswan Airport, Aswan Train Station, or your location in Aswan. You will be transferred by private modern air-conditioned vehicle with your private Egyptologist guide to begin your Nubian Village and Nubian Museum Tour.


2 Nubian Village

Start your tour with a visit to the Nubian Village in Aswan. Nubian communities have lived in southern Egypt and northern Sudan for thousands of years, with a history connected to the Nile, trade routes, ancient kingdoms, and later relocation after the construction of the Aswan High Dam between 1960 and 1970.

During your visit, you will see colorful Nubian houses, local streets, village life, and the Nile surroundings. Your guide will explain the background of Nubian culture, language, traditions, family life, and the connection between Nubian communities and the Nile River, which is about 6,650 km / 4,130 miles long.

The visit gives travelers a different view of Aswan beyond ancient temples. It focuses on local life, Nubian hospitality, traditional houses, and cultural identity in southern Egypt, especially around the Nile islands and Nubian village areas near Aswan.


3 Lunch Time

Lunch is served at local restaurant.


4 Nubian Museum

After lunch, continue to the Nubian Museum in Aswan. The museum opened in 1997 and was created to preserve and present Nubian history, archaeology, art, and culture after many Nubian areas were affected by the construction of the Aswan High Dam between 1960 and 1970 and the creation of Lake Nasser.

During your visit, your private Egyptologist guide will explain the main displays, including objects connected with ancient Nubia, prehistoric periods, Pharaonic history, Greco-Roman periods, Coptic heritage, Islamic periods, and modern Nubian traditions. The museum covers thousands of years of Nubian history and helps explain the connection between Nubia, Aswan, the Nile River, and ancient Egyptian civilization.

The Nubian Museum also gives important context about the UNESCO rescue campaign of the 1960s and 1970s, when several Nubian monuments were saved and relocated, including temples in southern Egypt and Nubia. The museum is one of the most important cultural stops in Aswan for understanding Nubian history and identity.


5 Drop-off

After completing your Nubian Village and Nubian Museum Tour, you will be transferred back by private air-conditioned vehicle to your hotel, Nile Cruise, Aswan Airport, Aswan Train Station, or your location in Aswan.

Tour Tips

Clear tips for Egypt tours including daily planning, site visits, guides, transport, and how to organize efficient day trips.

Our Aswan tours are private tours for you and your group or family only. You do not join other travelers. Each tour is arranged with private pickup and drop-off, a private modern air-conditioned vehicle, a private driver, and a private professional Egyptologist guide.

Depending on the selected Aswan tour, the program can include visits to Philae Temple, the Unfinished Obelisk, the Aswan High Dam, the Nubian Village, the Nubian Museum, Elephantine Island, the Botanical Garden, and other Aswan sightseeing sites. Some tours can also include lunch, entrance tickets, motorboat transfers, and road trips to Abu Simbel when required.

Always check the tour inclusions before booking because each Aswan tour has its own route, duration, pickup time, entrance fees, meals, and transport details.

View available private Aswan tours here: Aswan Tours, Trips and Excursions.

Choose your Aswan tour based on the sightseeing sites you want to include and the time available. Aswan city tours usually include Philae Temple, the Unfinished Obelisk, and the Aswan High Dam. Other Aswan tours can include the Nubian Village, the Nubian Museum, Elephantine Island, the Botanical Garden, and motorboat transfers on the Nile.

If you want to visit Abu Simbel, choose a tour that clearly includes the road trip or flight option from Aswan, because Abu Simbel is located south of the city and needs an early departure. If you have limited time, choose an Aswan city tour. If you want more local visits, choose a program that includes the Nubian Village or the islands.

Nubian Village

Nubian Village

Nubian Village
The Nubian Village is one of the most warm, colorful, and culturally enriching experiences available to any traveler in Egypt, a destination that offers something no ancient temple or modern monument can provide: a living encounter with one of the oldest, most distinctive, and most resilient indigenous cultures in the African world. Located on the west bank of the Nile, on the islands of the First Cataract, and in the resettlement communities around Aswan in Upper Egypt, the Nubian Villages that visitors explore today are the living homeland of the Nubian people, the ancient inhabitants of the Nile Valley south of Aswan whose culture, language, architecture, music, and traditions are unlike those of any other community in Egypt and whose story is one of the most compelling and most poignant in the modern history of the Nile Valley. This extraordinary cultural destination sits at the heart of some of Egypt's most rewarding travel experiences.

Nubian Museum

Nubian Museum

Nubian Museum
The Nubian Museum is the finest and most comprehensive museum in all of Aswan, one of the most beautifully designed and most intellectually rewarding museums in Egypt, and an absolutely essential destination for every traveler who wishes to understand the full depth and richness of the ancient and living Nubian civilization that gave the First Cataract region its extraordinary historical significance. Located on a hillside overlooking the Nile in the southern part of the modern city of Aswan, the Nubian Museum was inaugurated in 1997 after more than two decades of planning and construction, and was designed by the Egyptian architect Mahmoud El-Hakim in a building that combines modern architectural ambition with the traditional aesthetics of the Nubian cultural landscape in one of the most beautifully realized museum buildings in the Middle East. This extraordinary institution sits at the heart of some of Egypt's most culturally rich travel experiences.

Frequent Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most asked questions.

This FAQ covers core Egypt travel facts: visa on arrival and e-visa options, safety and health basics, average trip costs and cash/card tips, best months by region, what to wear and pack, local customs and public holidays, weather by season, official language and useful phrases, mobile data/Wi-Fi and SIM cards, transport (flights, trains, taxis, ride-hailing), tipping norms, and guidance for solo travelers and families. Use it to plan quickly and avoid surprises.

Getting into Egypt is genuinely easy. Most nationalities receive a 30-day visa on arrival at Cairo, Luxor, and Hurghada airports for just USD 30, paid in cash at the bank counter before immigration. If you prefer to sort it before you fly, Egypt's official e-Visa takes 3 to 5 business days and costs the same amount. Your passport needs to be valid for at least 6 months from your travel date. When you book with WOW Egypt Tours, your dedicated advisor confirms your exact visa route before anything else, so there is no guesswork on your end.

Absolutely. WOW Egypt Tours specialises in shore excursions from Egypt's main cruise ports including Alexandria for Cairo and the Pyramids, Port Said for Cairo, Safaga for Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, and Sokhna. Your guide meets you directly at the dock, the itinerary is timed precisely to get you back well before all-aboard, and everything runs in a private vehicle with no waiting around. Just share your ship name, port of call, and docking time when you get in touch and we handle the rest.

Start with a message through our contact page, WhatsApp, or email at booking@WOWEgyptTours.com. From that first message you will deal with one dedicated advisor who designs the itinerary, answers every question, and manages your trip from start to finish. A deposit secures your dates and the balance can be paid before arrival or on arrival in Egypt, depending on the package. Your advisor confirms the available payment methods for your specific booking. There are no surprise charges along the way.

 

This is genuinely what we do best. Through our tailor-made experience, your advisor starts from scratch with your travel dates, the destinations you care about, the pace you prefer, your accommodation style, and your budget, then builds an itinerary around all of it. Want to add a sunrise hot air balloon over Luxor, a private yacht on the Nile, a marriage proposal at Abu Simbel, a family trip mapped around your children's interests, or a wheelchair-accessible route through the Pyramids? All of it is possible and all of it has been done before.

 

Think light, breathable, and modest. Loose cotton or linen clothing works brilliantly in the heat and dries fast. Inside temples, mosques, and religious sites, covered shoulders and knees are required, so a lightweight scarf or wrap folds into any bag and solves the problem instantly. Comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes matter more than you might expect as ancient surfaces are uneven. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are non-negotiable in summer. A small reusable water bottle is a good idea everywhere. For desert or Sinai trips, pack a warm layer as nights drop sharply once the sun goes down.
