The Nubian Villages against the backdrop of the west bank of the Nile River Desert escarpment look straight out of a historical landscape. Your journey will start from taking a motor boat ride to Elephantine Island while passing the First Cataract of Aswan. The best part of a Nubian Village tour is the vibrancy of the houses. The bright and colourful houses are complimented by the jovial people who will cordially invite you inside their houses and offer you hibiscus tea. The colourful Nubian Markets are also worth exploring for the traditional clothes, powders, carpets, thread works, handicrafts and so on. If you love to know more about the mythology and beliefs of the Nubian people, find a crocodile whisperer. The cult is enchanting, and you can even hold the baby crocodile!
