We really enjoyed this museum as we had little knowledge of the Nubians, except that they were displaced in the building of the Aswan dam. Really worth exploring and some of the artifacts were stunning. It seemed appropriate to drop into the Old Cataract Hotel for a drink on our way back to our Movenpick Resort Hotel to sit on the terrace looking out over the Nubian settlements on Elephantine Island.

There were 170 Pharaohs of which 5 were the Nubian Pharaohs. This museum was fantastic and if you are in Aswan you should not miss it. The exhibits had multiple languages including English. It was beautifully designed and laid out with emphasis on Nubian Egyptian history and Pharaohs. The artifacts were incredible. We also really liked the gift shop and purchased a laminated time line of 6000 years of Egyptian history which helped put our entire trip in perspective.

This modern museum is worth a 60-90 minute visit when you are in Aswan. We learned about the interaction between the Nubian Kingdoms and their Pharaonic neighbors. We knew about the biblical kingdom of Kush but this visit made it come alive

I visited this place after visiting the Temple of Philae. It is still a work-in progress situation as some exhibits are temporarily displayed. I like the circular way of arranging the exhibits, they are easy to follow and explanations are both in English and Arabic. Staff are friendly. There is a restroom on the left side, near the Entrance Door. Have a better understanding of Nubian Culture and their history after my visit.
