A Nubian Village on the Nile — Color and Culture on the Upper Nile

On a bright bend of the Nile in the far south of Egypt, a village blazes with color. Houses painted in brilliant blue, gold, and earthy orange rise above the water, crowned with rounded domes and set against golden dunes and dark green palms. It is a place unlike anywhere else along the great river, the heart of a culture that reaches back thousands of years. Welcome to a Nubian village on the Nile. Filmed March 2025.
