Itinerary

If you’re eager to blend Egypt’s ancient splendor with vibrant local culture, "Nubian Adventure" is your ticket to an unforgettable 9-day journey. This small group tour covers the country’s legendary sites while offering rare insight into Nubian traditions along the Nile.

Arriving in Cairo, you’ll be greeted and assisted with your visa, allowing you to settle in before the real adventure begins. Explore the Egyptian Museum’s treasures and the Giza pyramids, then journey south by overnight train to Aswan. Here, visit Philae Temple and immerse yourself in Nubian hospitality—staying in a traditional guesthouse, sharing home-cooked meals, and learning about local customs.

Optional excursions to Abu Simbel are available for those craving even more wonder. Glide down the Nile on a felucca, then travel north to Luxor, stopping at the impressive Temple of Horus at Edfu. Experience the wonders of the Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut, and Karnak, with time for market exploration or optional tours.

Conclude back in Cairo, with chances to discover the Citadel, Coptic Cairo, or the lively Khan el-Khalili bazaar. Throughout, expert guides bring Egypt’s stories to life, while comfortable accommodations ensure a smooth trip.

USP: The immersive Nubian guesthouse experience and hands-on cultural encounters set this tour apart for travelers who want more than just the classic highlights.

Avoid this company

Beware using this company. I had paid in full for the Nubian Adventure Tour. Then the month before the trip they notify me that their partner disappeared with the money and that I can do the tour if I simply pay for the tour all over again. I was really looking forward to this tour but they have completely lost my trust. My recommendation is if you have booked a tour with them contact your credit card immediately.

Group hike with Kilisa Tours I joined a group hike with Kilisa Tours as a solo traveler, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life. Everything about the service was wonderful - from the smooth organization and warm welcome to the professional guides, friendly porters, and excellent food on the mountain. Even though I started alone, I never once felt like it. The team made me feel part of the group right away, and their constant support and smiles gave me confidence all the way to the summit. Climbing Kilimanjaro is challenging, but with Kilisa Tours it felt safe, well cared for, and truly enjoyable. I couldn t recommend them enough to anyone planning this adventure!
