Located in the south of Egypt, near the west bank of the Nile River is the city of Aswan with the colorful ancient Nubian village, known as the rainbow village. The ancient Nubian village is home to the Nubian people, a group of ethnic groups from southern Egypt and northern Sudan. With unique and vibrant architecture, the houses in this ancient village have turned the windy desert land into a colorful oasis that attracts thousands of tourists to visit.
Nubian Village consists of two small villages, Siou and Koti, both built through the center of Elephant Island. The two villages are connected by a walkway, which is the Nubian market place.
The houses here are decorated with impressive multi-colored motifs, like real works of art in the middle of the desert. Because the Nubians believe that bright colors will bring peace, happiness and bountiful harvests, they favor bright colors such as red, yellow, orange and blue... They harmoniously combine colors to decorate the outside and inside of the house, most of which are familiar images in Nubian life.
These unusual "constructions" are decorated with hieroglyphs as well as vivid images of animals and plants. A characteristic of the houses here is that they all have flat roofs, not tiled roofs.

Nowadays, besides the ancient houses of the people, there are also hotels designed as homestays. These hotels also have lively and impressive architecture.
In addition to its picturesque outdoor space, the riverside town of Aswan also offers a poetic and spacious look. Visitors can admire the legendary Nile River at dawn or dusk to fully enjoy the magic of Egyptian nature.
As you stroll through the village market, you will come across a wide variety of local produce from traditional Egyptian culinary spices.
