Eco Nubia

ECO Nubia is the new accomplishment of ECO Group. A place where guests can enjoy a unique experience with both Nature & History, in an Authentic and Genuine environment. It's our first Ecolodge of many to come soon, based on the concept of using old local community houses to be converted into Natural luxuries ecolodges, where both guests and local community can enjoy the Sustainable tourism experience. Location and houses are picked really carefully in order to provide the experience we promise, and allows you to "Release Your Inner Peace" while enjoying Nature & a unique Heritage. Our location is on Bigeh island: it is one of 3 islands located between the 2 Dams of Aswan governorate: The Aswan Dam and The High Dam, and also the nearest island to Philae temple. Because of its remoteness and lack of utilities & services, the island’s citizens left their homes on the islands since 40 years and now living in villages and cities around it. Still, they do have a dream of going back to their island and bringing its heritage back to life. We aim to help original inhabitants of the island to rebuild their houses, using the same old techniques of Nubian Architecture, in parallel to develop a complete utilities network and infrastructure (Water – Sewage – Electricity) in an eco-friendly way to protect the island’s natural heritage. As for job creation, we aim to add the island to the Egyptian ecotourism map, and introduce this unique type of tourism in the whole area around it, with all related services such as: lodging in Nubian houses, revive authentic Nubian food recipes and drinks, community center for local and visitors’ events, Nubian handcrafts preservation.
