International Museum of Nubia

Located opposite the Basma Hotel, the International Museum of Nubia opened in 1997 through UNESCO collaboration. It highlights the rich cultural history of Nubia, a region between Aswan and Khartoum.

The museum features an extensive array of artifacts, from prehistoric items to Coptic and Islamic art, illustrating Nubia's significance before the construction of the Aswan High Dam and Lake Nasser.
