Beyond the Pyramids: Nubian Culture and Their Painted Doors

Me Ra Koh

Once you get outside of Cairo and go beyond the pyramids, you begin to experience another side of Egypt.  The Nubian Village was one of our family’s favorite parts of the tour.

On the outside, the Nubian village looks simple, dry, and is almost easy to miss with all the rubble.

But the wonders of what lives on the inside of these stone walls inspired my heart and creative spirit.

Follow us into Fazi’s village as we visit a school, explore their painted doors, and are inspired by how beauty and creativity flourish in the most simplest of places.  And get this, Nubian men are expected to cook, play the drums and sing!  Need I say more?!
