Video | Nubia express
With the construction of the High Dam leading to extensive land flooding, Nubians were forced to re-settle in new villages across Aswan. Over time, much of their younger generations migrated to Cairo and Alexandria. The Eid al-Adha holiday presents an annual opportunity for families to reunite, and Nubian associations organize a chartered train for the long but festive journey. Join us in this video as we ride the Nubia express, traveling from Alexandria to Armena village to celebrate Eid and attend a wedding.
