Lost Nubia

The Museum is a definite must for Awasn visitors. It is very well laid out and all exhibits have good expalanatory notes. Two minor problems: 1. The museum closes for a long siesta in the middle of the day, so get there at least two hours before the closing time. If you read all the labels and want to enjoy all the exhibits, you could easily spend three hours there. 2. The lighting is a bit dim and I found it difficult to read some of the labels. Bring and electric tourch (flash light).
