About Private day tour to The Nubian Museum

Explore the rich history and culture of Nubia with a private tour to the world-renowned Nubian Museum in Aswan, guided by an expert Egyptologist.

The Nubian Museum in Aswan is considered one of the most important museums in Egypt, dedicated to preserving and displaying the fascinating history, art, and culture of Nubia. Featuring incredible exhibits and artifacts recovered from sites affected by the construction of the High Dam and the rescue campaigns led by UNESCO, this museum is an absolute "must-do" for any visitor. In the early 1960s, the international community united under UNESCO's appeal to rescue the monuments of Egyptian Nubia before the rising waters of Lake Nasser submerged them. The Nubian Museum opened its doors in November 1997, featuring architecture designed to evoke traditional Nubian village styles. Your private day tour includes convenient pickup from your hotel or Nile Cruise in Aswan, an expert English-speaking Egyptologist guide to walk you through the highlights, comfortable air-conditioned transfers, and ample free time to explore the landscaped gardens, open-air theater, and stunning artifacts at your own pace.
