We Make Your Nubian Holiday Possible
We arrange tours to many Nubian villages, Aswan sights such as the Temple of Philae, the Unfinished Obelisk, Elephantine Island and the Botanical Gardens, Aswan Dam and the High Dam; also to places further away such as Abu Simbel and the Temple of Horus at Edfu. We can also arrange Felucca trips for anything from a few hours to several days, using only trustworthy local operators. Working directly with the Felucca Captains, Camel owners 'Donkey Men' and Carriage drivers, our local rides are hassle free, involving no 'middle men' ensuring all revenue goes directly to the local Nubians, opposed to “fat cats” and foreign investors.
To choose a dream African cultural holiday that meets your expectations, please review our destination information pages on Upper Egypt, Lower Egypt, Aswan, and Sinai. Furthermore, sample Private Tours are shown under Tour Options.
Our tours are designed with independent travellers in mind. By this we mean:
- Families not looking to get caught up in the whole international group tour experience, yet desire the best holiday deals, personal attention and cultural experiences, at an affordable price.
- Specific groups such as a Schools & Universities, Youth Clubs, or other Membership structured organisations who want their own space to facilitate specific relationships.
- Overlanders or those passing through on to other parts of Africa who have their own expedition vehicle or motorhome, and a demanding agenda – overlanders may simple be looking for a quiet place to rest.
- Backpackers or those travelling alone without ground transport or travel agents are often looking for unique and really traditional feel. We’ve got the perfect place to pitch-n-go.
What sets us apart from the rest?
Travel 2 Culture is more than simple guided day tours and third-part reservations:
The biggest difference with our tours is that they are based around the lives of the Nubians these trips introduce travellers to both ancient sites and cultures of Egypt. Aboard a traditional Felucca we are crewed by Nubian captains from local Nubian villages, where we are based. The Nubian community is small, everyone knows everyone – this works in your favour!
We are personal guides, at your side or on call for extended periods of time during your stay. We are people making things happen for you. This can be from arrival to departure or for only a few days. You have our full attention throughout your stay, and the flexibility to alter or amend your itinerary as you wish. You are our focus.
Travel 2 Culture provides private guide services and customised itineraries to the discerning or independent traveller. We specialise in extended-period guide services, travelling by your side for days rather than hours! We take pride in offering friendly experienced regional experts, whom are dedicated to providing fun filled, cultural, informative and peaceful day tours.

Please use our Tour Options page when choosing your own custom holiday! Remember, all OUR TOURS are PRIVATE; this means there generally wont be anyone you don’t know in your cabin, on your Felucca, sharing your bathroom, or in your taxi.
