Nubians displaced by Aswan Dam exile to new settlements
Fifty thousand Nubians, remnants of an ancient realm between Egypt and Ethiopia, were displaced as Lake Nasser formed behind the Aswan Dam. The Egyptian government resettled many in Kom Ombo and new farms, while others moved to Cairo. Despite efforts, Nubians cling to old customs and tribal councils while adapting to a new society with altered mourning, weddings, and social norms.
