EgyRoot

"I dare call this place, pure magic. To both..from where I am standing and to where my eyes meet that invisible line that separates the sand from the sky. Mount of the Wind...I can ear you...just wait...can you?"

"Sometimes we have to do the impossible to save our roots from disappearing. At the Nubia Museum, ground floor, right, you have an entired room showing what was done. From the rock art to real mummies, a notable collection of black and white photos of all the works done.
Yes.. sometimes progress stands in front of culture and heritage".

"There is so much still to discover around Aswan... Specialy, when we think about pure nature and cultural heritage.
Not much people have the opportunity to vist a Nubian village and enjoy it for a all day.. And there are many reasons for you to do it. The choices are diverse. I take this chance to show you one of my favourites... Garb Sohail.
Between the sand mountains and the river Nile, this village Is completely full of life...The Beautiful colours of the houses mixed with the smell of spices and the traditional hand cooked food, your senses will be at their peak.
Henna, music and a tasty gabana coffe made by traditional way in almost every corner.
It is indeed a challenge to walk along the village between all shops and to choose what to take.
Here is my advise... Enjoy... Feel the adventure, see the most you can and try all the diferent tastes of food...jump into the Nile and don't be afraid of the crocodiles...There is none in this waters... only at Lake Nasser. But you can see some crocos inside the traditional Nubian houses, dead or alive."
