Nile Motorboat & Nubian Village

Combine Aswan's best Nile scenery with an authentic cultural encounter on this half-day motorboat adventure. Board a powerful motorboat and cruise upstream past the dramatic granite boulders of the First Cataract, the lush vegetation of Elephantine Island, and the peaceful Kitchener's Botanical Island. Your captain navigates through narrow channels between rocky islets, offering stunning photo opportunities at every turn. Disembark at a picturesque Nubian village where brightly painted houses line the riverbank. Meet local families, enjoy a cup of traditional hibiscus tea, and learn about the Nubian way of life. Children often gather to sing Nubian songs, and you may see traditional crafts being made by hand. Return to Aswan by boat as the afternoon light turns the granite boulders golden.
