“Fantastic trip with Moustafa as our guide. He sailed us to the island pointing out point of interest along the way. The camel ride was brilliant, once again the guides were so friendly and helpful taking pictures for us and generally making it even more enjoyable. The visit to the Nubian village as also fun, we shared traditional tea with a family and had pictures taken with some baby crocodiles before walking down the Main Street looking at their wears of sale with very little pressure to buy. All in all an excellent, reasonably priced trip that I would thoroughly recommend.”

Infine sul sito c'è scritto che l'escursione ha una durata di 12 ore ma in realtà è durata fino al pomeriggio inoltrato (siamo rientrati alle 7 e mezzo…”
