It was 5 pm and after a short break after have visited the magnificent complex of Abu Simbel, we were prepared for excursions in the afternoon, the felucca ride and a visit to the Nubian Village.
We started on the east bank of the Nile by taking a felucca, the traditional sailing boat of the Nile, for a short cruise along the river in which you can see beautiful images and so-called "pirates of the Nile . This Egyptian children call you "raid" in small wooden or cardboard boats in search of alms by the singing of songs in many languages as passengers listen to the felucca.
After this tour we got to a beach on the west bank where you could if you wanted, take a dip in the Nile River.
A few minutes of rest, after being harassed on the beach by vendors of gifts (even you desert sand sold in small glass bottles) and we walked up to a herd of camels who were in charge of transporting tourists from the beach to the People Nubian payment by our guide (the tour was already included) and reach the posterior tip to the Nubian Village.
Emerging from this group of houses, you expect all the local children waiting for your charity and how much you give them. In theory, as we had heard from the agency, they would be happy to take her pens, candy and this like, but in reality, they seemed real piranhas called everything you carried including underwear if you gave it.
After the visit, return to Aswan, last shopping in the souk in the city and last dinner on board and first fired (in this case of Juan, who had made the opposite journey, starting with the Cairo. Unwise if suffering from diarrhea, also called there "the revenge of the Pharaoh" and then the cruise will make you eternal. It is advisable to start with the cruise control as the meals you can do better than in restaurants you visit in the capital of Egypt.). And so, to rest for the next day with a visit to the temple of Philae and the trip to Cairo.

Thus, galloped along a small cliff where you feared for your safety even if you claimed that nobody had ever had any problems, we reached the Nubian Village, a small town in which you show the simple life of the habitants of that zone, a distinct race from the Egyptian and characterized by its extremely dark color. They show you their customs, their distinctive tattoos, their own language, distinct from the Egyptian and you can stroll from their homes, very picturesque.
