Nubians are a group of people who are indigenous to the region which is now northern Sudan and southern Egypt.
They originate from the early inhabitants of the central Nile Valley, believed to be one of the earliest cradles of civilization.
Today, Nubians in Egypt primarily live in the southern part of the country, especially in Kom Ombo and Nasr al-Nuba north of Aswan, also we find large groups of Nubians scattered in large cities such as Cairo and Alexandria, while Sudanese Nubians live mainly in northern Sudan, particularly in the region between the city of Wadi Halfa on the Egypt-Sudan border and al Dabbah.
Additionally, a small group of Nubians known as the Midob lives in northern Darfur, another group named Birgid lives in Central Darfur and several smaller groups known as the Hill Nubians live in Northern Kordofan in Haraza and a few villages in the northern Noba Mountains in South Kordofan state, Sudan.
The main Nubian groups from north to south (Aswan to Khartoum) are the Kenzi, Matóki, Faadicha, Fadija, Sukkot, Mahas, and Danagla. There also exist two large tribes of fully Arabized Nubians who inhabit Northern Sudan - these groups are known as the Shaigiya and Ja'alin.
