The History of the Nubian Museum
During the construction of the High Dam of Aswan in the 1960s, a large number of Aswan’s monuments were submerged by the water of the Nile, and also much of the Nubian land sank.
UNESCO helped Egypt to build a museum to preserve the Pharaonic and Nubian monuments to show them to the visitors. In 1986 the foundation stone of the Nubian Museum was laid and in 1997 it was opened to the public.
The Construction of the Nubian Museum
The Museum was built over 11 years. The cost of the Museum was 60 million Egyptian pounds. It is 50 thousand m2 only 7 thousand is the building of the Museum and the rest is a big garden. At the entrance, there is an obelisk of the Temple of Abu Simbel.
In the garden, there are some statues from various periods of Nubia, a Nubian style house, artificial lakes, and a decorated minaret in the Fatimid style. The Museum houses 3000 monuments from different periods; prehistoric, pharaonic, Coptic, Islamic, and Roman.
In the center of the Museum, there is a statue of Ramses II, 12 meters high, surrounded by other monuments from various periods. There are also 16 statues of the famous kings of Nubia. The Museum contains a library and information center.

The “Nubian Village” is located inside the city of Gharb Soheil, in the Egyptian capital of Aswan. Aswan is located around 860 kilometres (350 miles) south of Cairo, Egypt’s capital city, and is well-known for hosting some of the country’s most ancient ruins. You may go to the Nubian Village by automobile or by boat from the city of Aswan. If you have a vehicle, you’ll either drive yourself or hire a cab or driver to take you there. It is strongly recommended that you go by ship. It’s just stunning.
What is Nubian style?
The interior design of a typical Nubian house is renowned to be tiny and peaceful, much like Nubian villages themselves. There are a variety of brightly colored homes created in the style of Nubian architecture using mud bricks, which are made of clay, hay, and sand mixed with water. It is less susceptible to home illnesses, less costly, and the clay texture of the bricks is less influenced by heat since these components are all-natural.
The dome-shaped ceilings that adorn the homes here are intended to disperse the sun’s heat throughout the building. The Nubian people also like decorating their homes with simple but beautiful colors and, more often than not, drawings of objects associated with their cultures, such as boats, camels, and palm trees.
