N – Nubians
The Nubians are believed to be the first human race on earth, and most of their customs and traditions were adopted by the ancient Egyptians. Nubians are the people of northern Sudan and southern Egypt. With a history and traditions which can be traced to the dawn of civilization, the Nubian first settled along the banks of the Nile from Aswan.
In Aswan, we will visit the Nubian Museum and Nubian community (when possible), many of whom were displaced from their villages during the second reconstruction phase of the Aswan low dam in 1932. Nubian people have their own dialect and traditions. While visiting the Nubian Village, you will see Nubian heritage through their buildings, arts, crafts, jewellery and clothing.
