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.
