Upon arrival at the village, you will be treated to very colorful houses, built according to Nubian architecture from mud bricks which are a mixture of clay, water, hay, and sand. All of these materials are natural which make less prone to house diseases, inexpensive, and the clay texture of the bricks is also less affected by heat. Over each house, you will find a dome-shaped ceiling designed to distribute the sun’s heat equally throughout the inside of the house. Moreover, the Nubian people love to decorate their houses using simple yet delightful colors; not only that, they commonly draw shapes from the Nubian culture on the walls of their houses, like boats, camels, and palms.

There is much to do in this village. First, you must walk around and soak in the beautiful shades of colour and the art stroked along the walls. You could also indulge in shopping at the local market—roasted nuts, trinkets, Nubian dolls, clothing and souvenirs are up for grabs. If walking isn’t your style, you can try the camel ride through the market instead. Take this opportunity to see a wonderful village in Aswan, Egypt with Magic life tours.
