(view from) El Dokka, Nubian Restaurant, Eissa's Island, Nile River, Aswan, Egypt.

            Elephantine Island, Aswan, Egypt: Home to the Ruins of Ancient Abu and a reconstructed Ptolemaic chapel (number 15) from the Temple of Kalabsha (now south of the High Dam). Also features a reconstructed 18th-dynasty temple (number 2) built by Hatshepsut (1473–1458 BC) and dedicated to the goddess Satet.

The Nubian people don't have a nation in the sense of a single, independent country called Nubia today. However, that doesn't mean their culture and identity have disappeared. Here's a breakdown:

*Historically: Nubia was a powerful kingdom along the Nile River for centuries.

*Today: The Nubian people are spread across parts of southern Egypt and northern Sudan.

*Culture: They maintain a distinct cultural identity with rich traditions, languages, and art forms.

So, while there isn't a specific Nubian nation-state, the Nubian people continue to thrive and preserve their heritage.
