Experience Nubia offers an interesting touristic concept by exploring the Nubian area around Aswan, included house rental: comfortable private houses in the Nubian villages. This means tourists live with the local Nubian population (in pharaonic history "the black pharaohs"), who will welcome you as one of them, not as a tourist. Although the local ferry takes you to Aswan centre in 15 minutes, living in a Nubian village feels like being far away from the mass tourist resorts. This is highly appreciated by those who did it. Tourists learn about the Nubian culture and traditions and find back what is lost in the modern European life style: a relaxed atmosphere and a warm social community life.
The houses are located in the Nubian villages of Aswan, on the West bank of the river Nile. The Nubians are hospitable and modest. You’ll really feel home in this relaxed African atmosphere. The houses are clean and completely furnished, with bathroom, toilet, kitchen, warm and cold running water etc. Nearby you’ll enjoy the beautiful nature of the desert, the Nile River, botanical gardens, pharaonic temples etc. In the centre of Aswan you’ll feel the typical mix of the Arabic and African cultures, with makes Aswan a very interesting place to stay.
