The journey
Sail along the Nile to a Nubian village in Aswan, where you can experience local life, sample Nubian cuisine, and shop for handmade products. This tour combines a relaxing boat ride with cultural encounters on the west bank of the river. Aswan is a busy market and tourist centre just north of the Aswan Dam, and the modern city includes the formerly separate community on Elephantine Island. It is also part of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network in the category of craft and folk art.
