Women of Nubia

Curiously, Nubian women are far more determined than men to act as guardians of the past. Nubian women are especially proud of their cultural heritage. The women of Nubia love to display their traditional crafts and holiday traditions, as well as the delicious food they are so famous for, such as fresh waika (a relative of okra). For many centuries, it was the Nubian women who preserved the cultural heritage of their people.
