„Nubia“. Nubia is the old word for gold and this was reason
enough for the pharaos to conquer this country. Nubia begins south of Aswan
and goes right down into Sudan. Because of the construction of the Highdam
a lot of Nubian villages were flooded and the residents had to be resettled
in Aswan, Luxor, Qena, a lot of them as far north as Cairo. Even more Nubians
moved to Sudan.
The Nubian people treasure their own culture, their own language, their traditions,
their music. The
Nubian villages are completly different than „Egyptian“ towns: they
are quiet and time seems to tick more slowly. There are a lot of Nubian villages
all around Aswan.
Moses toured already on the River Nile in a basket.
