About this tour

Overview
This is not just a tour.
This is an invitation to listen.
Drift down the Nile aboard a peaceful felucca, the traditional sailboat of the
south, and land on Elephantine Island — where ancient temples once rose and
Nubian families still keep the rhythm of the river alive.
Walk with a Nubian elder, not just a guide, but a storyteller — someone who
remembers what maps do not. Hear about Nubian customs, displacement,
language, identity, and joy. You’ll visit colorful homes, sacred spaces, and
everyday corners most travelers never see — and leave not just informed, but
deeply connected.

  • Local Nubian elder as storyteller & cultural guide
