Today, we celebrate the anniversary of the opening of the Nubia Museum in Aswan, one of Egypt’s most significant regional historical museums and a renowned tourist landmark. Opened in 1997, the museum houses artifacts uncovered during excavations in the Nubian temple areas and showcases Nubian traditions, customs, and language from prehistoric times to the modern era.
The museum’s design is inspired by the traditional architecture of Nubian villages. It spans three floors and features a remarkable collection of artifacts, including a statue of King Ramses II from the 19th Dynasty, a prehistoric skeleton, iron weapons, silver crowns adorned with carnelian, horse saddles, silver jewelry, and pottery.
