We trusted Mahmood for Abu Simbel transfer because he seemed like a good local guy but that turned out to be a big mistake. At first, he promised us an SUV for the long journey, but at the last minute, the previous night before the tour, he messaged us with an excuse that the driver’s father had a stroke, and said we’d have to go in a smaller, older car instead offering a €15 discount. We were disappointed, but agreed. The next morning, we started the journey, but just 10 minutes in, the police stopped us and said we didn’t have the proper travel permit. We ended up waiting in the car for an hour trying to sort it out, but in the end, the trip was cancelled entirely. It completely ruined our last day in Aswan. Mahmood later said the trip wasn’t permitted by the government and sent us a refund, but by then, the damage to our plans and experience had been done. He may be a nice guy for a local tour, but for trips like Abu Simbel, I would strongly recommend booking through a more professional and established company. I wish I had done the same it would have saved us a lot of stress and disappointment.
Unforgettable experience with a reliable local guide! I took a day trip to the Nubian Village, went on a Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor, and visited Abu Simbel—all arranged through his service. Everything ran smoothly, and he was always punctual, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the region. It felt like exploring Egypt with a friend who really knows the place. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and well-organized experience!
If you’re visiting Aswan and want to experience something truly authentic and unforgettable, you absolutely have to go on a tour with Mahmoud! He’s an incredible person — full of energy, positivity, and deep love for his homeland. Being originally from the Nubian Village, he knows every corner, every story, every hidden gem. With him, we explored the Nubian Village in a way that very few tourists get to. He took us to places only locals know, far from the usual tourist routes. We shared coffee with locals, visited a traditional Nubian home, tasted incredible local dishes, and truly got to understand the culture and way of life. Mahmoud is extremely friendly and communicative, and he does everything to make you feel comfortable and welcome. The highlight of our tour was watching the sunset from a breathtaking panoramic view — a magical moment I’ll never forget. This wasn’t just a tour. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Mahmoud to anyone looking for a real, heartwarming, and meaningful journey in Aswan. ✅He also booked for me a Nile cruise in very good price in comparison to many scams etc. trust him, he is your guy in Egypt.
Mahmoud is perfect for this. He has friends and family all over the Nubian Village and he knows all the best places with the best views, etc. Mahmoud is also such a humble person and really puts his heart into his experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the time and even ran overtime a bit but it felt as if we were just good friends. I highly recommend this for anyone visiting Aswan.
If you're thinking of booking this tour just do it! Mahmoud is such a great, genuine guy who is so knowledgeable about the area, Nubian life and history and cares so much about his guest. This is not your typical tour but more like having a local Nubian friend help you have your perfect day here. This tour is very accomodating if you're vegan and Mahmoud will customize the day to your liking. I wasn't instead in hiking the mountain so he found us a place to go kayaking and after we got to enjoy my favorite juice at a beautiful camp and take a camel ride back to my hotel! It was the perfect day and I couldn't have planned it without Mahmoud's help. As a solo female I felt so safe with Mahmoud and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others! Seriously this experience is so unique and will make your trip to the Nubian Village so much more memorable and you will leave with a friend! This tour was one of the highlights of my trip please do yourself a favor and book this tour you won't regret it!
