Born and raised in a small village in Gharb Aswan, in what is known as Nubian Kingdom in Egypt, “Captain Bassam”, at a very young age started following in his father's footsteps. He was gifted the opportunity of sailing all different kinds of boats. These amazing pilgrimages with his father, provided him with the life education, tools and opportunities to mingle with people of all walks of life and cultures. As a proud community leader, one of Bassam’s many passions is sharing his knowledge of his culture and the history of Nubia, which is where it all began.

Presently Bassam continues leading groups of all sizes to various sacred energetic sites along the Majestic Nile River and all the Powerful Temples of Ancient Egypt (Kemet), and harnessing a profound impression with new perspectives and connection to the Ancient Temples, as well as showing and sharing the humbling ways and livelihood of his Nubian Culture.

In 2019, Bassam converted his family home into a Beautiful and Charming Guesthouse, naming it “Nubian-Kingdom Aragueed’s House”. It provides a relaxing atmosphere, where music, singing, great food, and the true essence of his heritage can be felt with love and transparency - “An overall chill vibes spot” where you can experience Kayaking, Sandboarding, Camel Riding and Sailing in Felluca’s, while admiring The Beautiful Nile River. This and more have had many guests returning over and over again and creating a unique and unforgettable experience for all travelers.

His love and dedication and amazing hospitality to his guests at the “Nubian-Kingdom Aragueed’s House”, has given him the recognition of becoming one of the “Top Ten” and winning the “Travel Rewards” Award in 2021 and 2022 in booking.com as well as becoming a “Super Host” with Airbnb.

Bassam is truly a blessing to his family, community and heritage and to all those who get the opportunity to share sacred space with him.
