Nubian Village & Dinner
In the late afternoon you will board a felucca and sail to the settlement of Elephantine Island. This island was once thought to be the home of Khnum, the god who guarded and controlled the Nile’s waters. Enjoy a sunset drink on the river before disembarking at a village to join a local family for a traditional Nubian feast, and learn about the history and culture of the Nubian people over a cup of welcome tea. After your time at the house, take a walk to explore the island on your own.
Strolling through brightly painted villages and chatting with the locals. Back to the house to enjoy a traditional Egyptian meal for dinner.
