Explore the history, art and culture of Nubia region from prehistoric times down to the present at the Nubian Museum, that will take you from 4500 BC to the present day.

Among the highlights of the museum are the 6000-year-old painted pottery, a stunning quartzite statue of a 25th dynasty Kushite priest of Amun, and a fascinating display tracing the development of irrigation along the Nile, from the earliest attempts to control the flow of the river, right up to the building of the Aswan Dam.

All this is housed in a well-designed modern building, loosely based on traditional Nubian Architecture.
