    Nubian Museum

    Visit the Nubia Museum is considered to be one of the most important Egyptian museums. Featuring exhibits and artifacts from the surrounding sites such as the High Dam, the museum is a "must-do" for any visitor to Aswan. In the early 1960s, when Egypt built the High Dam at Aswan, UNESCO appeals to salvage the monuments of Egyptian Nubia before the rising waters of Lake Nasser submerged them forever. The "Nubian Rescue Campaign", resulted in the recovery of thousands of objects, and the salvage and relocation of several important temples to higher ground. Due to the quantities of material recovered from tombs, temples, and settlements, UNESCO was encouraged in the 1980s to plan a new Nubian museum in Aswan where the objects could be stored and exhibited. Nearly 12 years later, the Museum became a reality and opened its doors in 1997. The architecture of the Museum and the enclosure walls are intended to evoke traditional Nubian village architecture.
