Day by day
Arrive in Aswan and travel into a colourful traditional Nubian village, where we’ll settle into our locally styled accommodation beside the Nile. Our first evening is deliberately relaxed — time to explore the village, take in the painted houses and riverside atmosphere, then share a traditional Nubian dinner together as the sun goes down.
