Best Time to Visit The best time to visit the Nubian Village is generally October to April, when Aswan’s weather is more comfortable for walking, boat travel, and outdoor sightseeing. Late afternoon can also be a pleasant time for softer light and a slower pace, especially if you want photos and a more relaxed atmosphere. If you want the most comfortable experience, avoid the hottest part of the day in summer and choose a tour with an early start or late-afternoon departure. Short daytime tours work well year-round, but cooler months make the outdoor parts of the visit much more enjoyable.[alrahhal]Return flight after Day 2
