You can do the tour by boat or bus. Both are very enjoyable. If you have questions I would recommend Trip Advisor or asking the concierge at your hotel. Enjoy!

As others fellow Trip advisors suggested you can surely tell your guide or company to book it for you. But if you really want to experience a real Nubian culture that is by sparing a day and than take west aswan ferry to other side it will cost you 5EGP each and after a short boat ride you will be on other side. Just climb up a a short distance from where you can visit the fort if you like or follow the straight path which is quite visible which will lead you to the Nubian village where people generally love sparing time, talking to people and even having their local food. That is my way of experiencing the culture. You may choose the way you like. As for most of guides and companies who arrange the tours I have found out that generally they will take you to a particular family which they have tie ups with and for them you are just another tourist from whom they can extort money. So to have best experience I would recommend to spare a day and visit the whole village on your own. And you will find out that people are very friendly, helpful and not after your money but after you to learn your culture as well.

You can ask hotel for a tailor made tour for you. It is as simple as that :) and next to Anakato there is a place where u can go to ride camels and boats are just outside the hotel. Just ask hotel to arrange it for you. There is a lovely lady at hotel reception her name is Chayma and she is very helpful

It cost me US$30 for the trip from the cruise ship to the village.(return). You pay for the felucca ride..like a sail boat manned by the Nubian people. Enjoy the boat ride on the Nile with musical entertainment by the Nubians. The Nubian village is something different if you have a tour guide to explain their traditions. Time spent in the village depends on how long u want to venture. We spent 1 hour there and took the sane boat back. To me its worth the ride.

hi, I've been there a couple of times and yes it was a joyful tour, you may join a tour at your hotel or you could tailor it by yourself as you wish, I personally call a very good guide called Milad who arranges an air-conditioned car and designs a good tour for all the area around and also makes the reservation of a nubian meal, all of this with reasonable prices, here is his mobile number if you want to call him : 01222807145
