Itinerary

Join an insightful tour guided by an Egyptologist to the Nubian Museum, a pivotal cultural institution in Aswan and a key destination for anyone visiting the area. The museum houses a rich collection of artifacts and exhibits sourced from the region, particularly from sites affected by the construction of the High Dam. This visit is not just a tour, but a deep dive into the heart of Egyptian Nubia's historical legacy. The genesis of the museum is closely tied to the construction of the High Dam in the early 1960s. This event prompted a global response led by UNESCO, known as the "Nubian Rescue Campaign," aimed at saving the monuments of Egyptian Nubia from being submerged by the rising waters of Lake Nasser. The campaign was a monumental effort, involving over sixty expeditions and leading to the excavation, documentation, and preservation of numerous sites. This endeavor resulted in the recovery of thousands of objects and the relocation of several significant temples. In light of the vast quantity of artifacts recovered, UNESCO, in the 1980s, advocated for the establishment of a new Nubian museum in Aswan. The aim was to store and display these artifacts as near as possible to their original locations. Nearly 12 years of planning and construction culminated in the museum's opening in November 1997. The design of the museum and its surrounding walls is inspired by traditional Nubian village architecture, reminiscent of the landscape along the Nubian Nile before the formation of Lake Nasser. Your Egyptologist guide will introduce you to some of the museum's most significant artifacts, followed by free time to explore the exhibits at your own pace. The museum is not just about its indoor exhibits; it is set within a beautifully landscaped area, featuring graded levels with a series of waterfalls. The garden's waterway eventually splits into two branches, encircling an open-air stage and amphitheater which has hosted numerous local and international performances. The rest of the 43,000 square meter area is a lush oasis of palm trees, flowers, and climbing plants, interspersed among natural rocks, creating a serene and educational environment.
