    • During your visit to the Nubian Museum, you learn about Nubian history from pre-historic times and the Pharaonic period to Coptic and Islamic influence.
    • After lunch in a good local restaurant, you board a motorboat to one of the modern-day Nubian Villages along the Nile, where Nubian culture, language, music and literature are kept alive.
