Kola Nut Travel is pleased to announce that R.W. Akile will be joining our team. Akile is known as a keeper of the culture in the African Diaspora and the producer of the Annual KwaaZaa Gwaride. Akile will guide you through the antiquities of Kemet sharing historical information and recent discoveries. Akile's Journey to Kemet will focus on Cairo, Upper, and Lower Egypt. The four-night Nile cruise will depart from Luxor, stopping along the way in Upper and Lower Egypt, ending in Aswan. In Aswan, you will stay in a Nubian Village at a Guest House. In Aswan you will visit a school, swim in the Nile and meet and connect with the local Nubian residents of the Awan community.
Your hotel accommodations will range from 5 Star in Giza and on your Nile Cruise and a 2 Star Guest House owned by a Nubian Family in Aswan. We have included pricing for single and double room arrangements. We do not recommend triple rooms unless the third passenger is a child.
Please note that some excursions require some climbing and walking, it is not uncommon for the cruise ship not to have an elevator. Please notify us in advance so that we can make the necessary arrangments if you require special assistance.
