A taste of Nubian lifestyle. Clockwise from top: the Nubian Palace in Sihail; a local resident in traditional Nubian costume; spices displayed at the village's bazaar; tourists in a caravan touring the village


Seheil enjoys a fascinating overview of Aswan. Tourists transport either by ferry to access the village or on camelback to tour the alleys and visit traditional Nubian houses

Bazaars in Seheil offer handmade items that carry the ethnic print of Nubia. Only lately had Nubian villages welcomed foreigners who are intrigued to know about the Nubians' way of life
